    ...Sanders has done us all a disservice by leading people to believe a presidential election could ever be revolutionary.

Obama already did that. Not sure where you live or what it was like there, but in 2008 I was living in the ghetto, and I never saw it happier ever. Bums were out on the street high five-ing, people were walking around smiling, and there was an electricity in the air that's hard to describe. It didn't last long, but I'll admit that I thought for a moment that the 08 election was going to be a new awakening. I didn't support Obama in the primary, but I was sure happy when he was elected.

And there was a lot of burnout once it was clear Obama wasn't going to deliver.
