Mike Malloy... and others, underestimate their own power. Sanders is a good man, I like him, like his policies, his ideas... I've got a lot of admiration and respect for him and all the work he's done - and for his integrity. He is, however, still one person among many. Many who have the same ideas, the same drive, the same goals, the same integrity and desire to work for change.
His supporters - for one thing - many of them young people and millenials who, for the first time, became interested in politics and felt that they had the power to influence change. We all have that power. None of this has been just about Sanders. It's about US. All of us, working together to accomplish what we believe in. The things Sanders believes in and fights for - so do we all - and I for one, have no intention of stopping.
There is no last hope as long as there are some of us left - and there's a whole lot of us who will be here for years to come, ready to carry on the fight. We may not get everything we want right away, but we're getting some things (check out the new platform) and we WILL get more in the months and years to come. We just have to stay positive and keep fighting for it. No reason we can't elect more progressives, run for office ourselves, campaign, organize, get involved in our communities and in the world at large in pursuit of all the noble things we struggle for.
Sanders is a great person - but he is one person. It is all of us, working together - and not him alone - that will bring the changes, the progress... and the hope, that we need.
