The ol' multi pronged attack method! Shrewd, very shrewd!

That list is exactly why Sanders supporters must not let this election, win or lose, determine they're involvement! This crap didn't happen in one election and it's going to take several more to reverse it.

If Bernie loses. we all lose. Wall St. wins. TPP wins. CU wins.

Game over IMHO..

It's take to the streets, or move to New Zealand, or just hunker down ..
not great choices .. and I'd be happy to be wrong on this.

And taking to the streets should be part of the program especially if Sen Sanders wins. Also, you are correct, not good choices. Seldom are these days. 2018 is just around the corner ind local races make a larger impact on our lives than the national one, really. School boards, county clerks, constables, city council, judges where voted on, etc. This is not about Sen Sanders.

Added on edit: Even if he wins change ain't happening over night but you know this. Your passion is commendable!
