2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMOVEMENTS are not "winner take all"
For those of you who support Hillary who only see Bernie and those who have supported him as The Opposition that is in Her way, the majority of us aren't focused on Bernie the man, it's Bernie the Messenger. With a Movement, a win by this Presumptive nominee, doesn't mean that the rest of us are going to go to the wall and shut up. We are about ending business as usual and preventing those in power from ignoring what's wrong in this country and whistling away loudly while shoving problems under the rug. So, please do not expect this growing Movement and what it represents to shut up and go quietly into that good night.

(32,886 posts)There is no evidence of any lasting structure or organization being created by this campaign and no evidence of this campaign working to support specific causes or other individuals who have the same beliefs.
All evidence points to the entire structure collapsing the moment Bernie concedes.
