Fast forward to July 25-28 Philadelphia

Given the treatment afforded Bernie throughout the primaries by the DNC, make a prediction about his role at the convention, aka the Hillary Coronation.

I think his input regarding the platform will be largely shit canned and his time at the podium, if they give him any at all, will be at 3 AM for 15 minutes well after the tv crews have packed it in for the night. I wish I was being facetious. I'm not.

I don't see this ending well.

1. Corporate vs. anti-corporate convention.

Unfortunately, I think the corporatist's think they won, which means Bernie will be given a minor (please go away now) role.

6. Wow!! Excellent article. Bernie’s now too big for the Senate imo

His passion and energy are better spent elsewhere.

7. he's ridden that horse for some time

and likely set some goals for his work. he'll prioritize and realign his time to get the revolution going/organized. but first, i hope he gets to take a few short breaks away from all of the demands on his energy.

9. Changed my thinking

3. we are going to do and win what we can regarding the platforms

we can neither be still nor give up and walk awy. too many who believe as we do are discouraged, yes - so those of us who continue to speak and work at it can continue to stand for the issues and future we believe in - those who want to hear - will hear the call.

5. So maybe he'll set up a podium outside

And speak to the THOUSANDS of supporters who are there in protest. They WILL be there.

8. yes - he will make it work! nt
