I was a key part of Senator Sander's leadership team, to make no overstatement whatsoever...  and we believed the Senator would have made an excellent President.  Indeed he very nearly did...  we had a lot of magic and momentum.  If this or that event had gone differently, we'd be looking at a different political landscape entirely.  The truth is that my central role in the campaign leadership and our sophisticated geo-political vision(involving diverse issues and plans well beyond minor increases in social aid) were aspects of the situation that helped build the organic momentum of the Sanders' campaign(as did the Senator's social media connection generally...) but weren't understood by the press and other powers.
 
Frankly, the D.N.C. weren't the only party that didn't allow the Sanders movement to fully participate in the purportedly democratic election(the intelligence community and power blocs within the press would be other examples.) At the time, we had fervor and believed we could do great things for the nation rather quickly(in some sense we did; people don't appreciate many of the changes that have taken place.) 
 
Today, I nominally support Clinton and the Democratic party, but I'm interested in having a great American conversation...  many of my ideas have actually always been rather conservative, but there's something most American conservatives just don't see which is that even the best people can get trapped out of the prosperity castle that Wall Street etc. guards and if these people have their own minds and principles, they get very little help getting gainful employment or even basic medical care etc.(even when they have money....)  
 
This society needs reform and the people(rich and poor) know it.  That's why Sanders rallies were so large and enthusiastic.  That's why we need to have a great American conversation...  and also (forget the election) make some things right during the narrow window there is to do so.
