Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumSo, an allusion has been working in my head about the end of Sanders campaign
and it's relationship to the future in which a movement pushes hundreds, if not thousands, of progressive minded candidates to run...
In my mind it's sort of what follows the 30 second mark... A blazing trail to the sky, which is Sanders campaign, and the burst which is the progressive candidates that will emerge from it.
This -can- be the future of progressive activism inside the party... if we decide we want it and work to make it happen.

And if only 1 in 10 runs, the arc of politics will change
I've been politically conscious for over 5 decades and I've -NEVER- seen a campaign -end- with an explosion of people jumping to be candidates.
If we hang together and help these candidates 2018 and 2020 will be very different from dem politics since 1992.
