Exactly how will this demand and declaration process work in the real world. Sanders has not sponsored or passed any significant legislation in the real world. You seem to think that sanders has some sort of magic where he can issue some sort of "demand and declaration" and this event would cause millions or billions or maybe trillions of new voters to rise up and demand that the GOP take sanders seriously. Sanders campaigned solely on the concept that his proposals would be magically adopted due to a magical voter revolution. Without that magical voter revolution, even Sanders admitted that his platform could not be adopted https://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/robert-schlesinger/articles/2016-04-15/bernie-sanders-bad-delegate-math-and-fantasy-revolution

Thus more broadly, his attempt to delegitimize a swath of voters lays bare a fundamental inconsistency of the Sanders campaign: One of his basic answers about how he's going to accomplish his aims – whether winning the Democratic nod, winning the general election or enacting his agenda – is the forthcoming revolution. His super-ambitious agenda will prove to be achievable substance rather than unicorns-and-rainbows fantasy, he said Thursday night, "when millions of people stand up, fight back and create a government that works for all of us, not just the 1 percent. That is what the political revolution is about. That is what this campaign is about."

Magical thinking does not work in the real world. Sanders has failed to adopt any meaningful legislation in the real world including in his own state. If sanders' magical "demands and declaration" are so powerful, maybe sanders should see if he can pass single payer in his home state.

I am glad that sanders is involved but I doubt that the GOP will pay any attention to sanders. The GOP has been ignoring sanders demands for a long time and I do not think that anything has changed. Again, if a declaration and demand by sanders is so powerful, then why have the GOP ignored all of sanders' prior demands and declarations???

I do not understand how magic works. If a "demand and declaration" has some magical power, please explain how it works. I note that so far these new magical voters have yet to appear and so far the real world has felt free to ignore sanders' prior demands and declarations.

I like the real world even though magic does not work. The GOP has never listened to sanders in the past and I am struggling to understand what is different.

Again, I am glad that sanders has finally taken a position but I doubt that the GOP will pay any attention to this position. History seems to be on my side. If I am wrong about magic, then please let me know why
