Sanders: Live nationwide video address Thursday.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/sanders-prepared-to-meet-with-clinton-as-district-holds-final-democratic-primary/2016/06/14/0f43d200-3239-11e6-8ff7-7b6c1998b7a0_story.html

“We’re going to be bringing somewhere between 1,900 and 2,000 delegates to Philadelphia, and let me tell you what they want,” Sanders said. “They want to see the Democratic Party transformed. They want to see the Democratic Party stand up to the wealthy and powerful and stand up for people who are hurting.”

His campaign also announced that he will host a live nationwide video address Thursday to talk about how his “political revolution continues” — presumably after he is no longer a candidate.

“When we started this campaign, I told you that I was running not to oppose any man or woman, but to propose new and far-reaching policies to deal with the crises of our time,” Sanders said in an email Tuesday advertising the meeting.

And this weekend, more than 2,500 progressive activists, many of whom supported Sanders’s campaign, are planning to convene in Chicago to talk about many of the same issues Sanders championed.

Absent from his rhetoric of late is a vow to stay in the race to make a last-ditch attempt to win the nomination by flipping the allegiances of hundreds of superdelegates who have announced their support for Clinton. Sanders has said little about that strategy in recent days, and there has been no evidence that he is actively pursuing it.

sound more palatable? Honestly wouldn't it be preferable for you to just work on making "socialist" more palatable?

If you're explaining you're losing.
