This video JUST says that 
the Democrats failed the people on climate change
the Republicans (or at least Gingrich) actually went back on their promises, 
intensity and money can beat passive majority support
no PREVIOUS social movement has failed if it had "the active and sustained 
participation of 3.5% of the population
Obviously, getting 3.5% of the population supporting something is NOT 
sufficient.  Imagine if the opposition has 3.4%.

This is the situation we find ourselves in, now.  Both side, in the US, have 
their supporters, and can inflame large numbers of them using today’s networked 
media.

The Sunrise Movement is not naive, but their efforts are entirely 
inside-the-box of our current political system where their opposition is savvy 
and well-funded.  Their belief in their numbers and the righteousness of their 
cause isn’t much different from Hillary Clinton’s belief that she’d win because 
she was the better candidate.
