The Democratic Party Has to Make A Decision | Bernie Sanders



Published on May 18, 2016
I come from the working class of this country, and I will be damned if we allow the Republican Party, who represent the rich and powerful, to win the votes of working class Americans. The Democratic Party has to make an important decision and I say to them: Open the doors. Let the people in!

I don't see any other way that would pacify the Berners.

I, for one, have given a lot of money (relative to my means) to Bernie and will give him more still. However, if he just ups and endorses her, I will be furious. That is not what I wanted! I want a plan B. Whether it's a Green run with Jill Stein or a brand new Party coming out of the Convention, I need something (in case Bernie is not the Dem nominee, that is).
