Bernie has proven there is no "new politics"

The most important way to win support and win elections is to go state to state, town to town, and talk to the voters about the issues they care about. You have to tailor your message to fit the people you're talking to. You can't give the same speech to rural Nebraska and urban Baltimore, and expect to get the same results. They say all politics is local, and Bernie's inability to hone his pitch to the audience has proven that.

Who is the spokesperson for progressive America? MSNBC has no one who represents the view of unions, and the vanishing middle class.

After this is over, like minded people should connect.
