totally agree with ya. But (at least in California) campaigning for city/state elections doesn't start until much later. Right now we're building the grassroots movement so people will have an organizational structure to work with in all elections.

I hope you're right! I just remember that Obama built up a huge, unprecedented grassroots organization too and it disappeared after a year because people were disappointed in his lack of wand-waving to magically fix the country's problems...I just want young people like me to remain idealistic but also be somewhat pragmatic - advocate on the behalf of great candidates but also on behalf of noble goals and keep voting no matter how jaded we become.

Sanders has commented on that, actually. Hopefully he can learn from Obama's mistakes.
