Problem with Sanders - there's no there, there

One article has commented on Hillary: 

"I just want to reflect for a moment on how kickass that is — that the smooth and stately Senator Brooke stands up and wags his finger at Wellesley’s graduating class, telling them to get back in their boxes and know their places, and then Clinton takes the podium and politely and eloquently tells him to go fuck himself."

Another article remarked: 

"Brooke spoke first and suggested the anti-war protests sweeping across college campuses were a poor way of exercising students' constitutional right to assemble, saying "coercive protests" would discourage support from people empathetic to their cause. Clinton, who had led demonstrations against the Vietnam War on campus, wasn't afraid to take a moment to go off script and respond to Brooke's speech.

[She said]

'We're not in the positions yet of leadership and power, but we do have that indispensable task of criticizing and constructive protest and I find myself reacting just briefly to some of the things that Senator Brooke said. ... Part of the problem with empathy with professed goals is that empathy doesn't do us anything. We've had lots of empathy; we've had lots of sympathy, but we feel that for too long our leaders have used politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible.' "

It does appear clear to me that Hillary Clinton had many aspects THEN what Bernie has been advocating NOW. And she has evolved, gotten wiser, more capable, versatile. And far more knowledgeable. She knows how to get things done and how the system works. For Bernie to be the exact same person in his 70s as people are saying he was in his 20s is beyond belief. Nobody does that. And if someone does, that is ABNORMAL. I don't remember who said "change or die". 

So this MLK thing here is the worst sort of twisting of facts and anecdotes. She is NOT saying this to a Black leader, she is saying this to a white guy from a nearly all-white state, with a majority of young white bros and brahs who don't appear to "get it", who she (and many, MANY others see as falling for the same old trick - politicians promising anything without reality to back it up to get what they want). I'm not saying Sanders is out to trick people - I just don't see any there, there. I don't see any evidence he can do what he is promising. All I see is him saying X has to happen, but not how, in the real world, it CAN happen. 

Hillary keeps saying she is NOT going to make any wild promises because that would be MISLEADING to people. Yet Bernie is doing the exact thing that she said young people were disillusioned by 47 years ago. She went on directly after that quote about politics being the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible, with this (caps emphasis is mine) - 

"What does it mean to hear that 13.3% of the people in this country are below the poverty line? That's a percentage. We're not interested in social reconstruction; it's human reconstruction. 

How can we talk about percentages and trends? The complexities are not lost in our analyses, but perhaps they're just put into what we consider a more human and eventually a more progressive perspective. 

The question about possible and impossible was one that we brought with us to Wellesley four years ago. WE ARRIVED NOT YET KNOWING WHAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. CONSEQUENTLY, WE EXPECTED A LOT. 

Our attitudes are easily understood having grown up, having come to consciousness in the first five years of this decade -- years dominated by men with dreams, men in the civil rights movement, the Peace Corps, the space program -- so we arrived at Wellesley and we found, as all of us have found, that there was a gap between expectation and realities. But it wasn't a discouraging gap and it didn't turn us into cynical, bitter old women at the age of 18. It just inspired us to do something about that gap."


Here's one of the articles I quoted, and it has a link to the entire speech in the text, if you want to read that.
