I don't think Sanders supporters are blind to the rest of the country. We've seen the knee-jerk reactions. What some of us hope to do is continue to be ourselves -- reasonable, responsible, thoughtful people who will support Bernie and show by example that nobody's advocating a violent overthrow of the government. A sneaky revolution, if you will.

There's a Bernie sign in my window. People will walk by and think "What? We have a lot in common. She's no revolutionary. Maybe Bernie's worth a look."
