What was it like being in the epicenter of the Sanders revolution? It was exciting to be around Citizens of all types involved in their democracy. Sad, because they were relegated to protesting in the streets, and subject to infiltration by violent agitators and sidelining by the police, the party establishment and the press, all of which seems to be in cahoots, and sad that all that effort had little real effect when these were patriots who represented the two-thirds of Americans who want to go in a different direction.
