14. Then, why were you pushing for Sanders if you weren't willing to fight of the changes you want to

see?

Fight doesn't always mean win... Do I need to throw the historic example of Reagan in 1976. Did those assholes give up?

No, they took over their party in 1980.

I am a progressive, I want a more left, more progressive party and future for country. If I get that incrementally, that's also okay as long as I know it's coming. No doubt, you have also been frustrated with Obama as well. I feel you, he has failed the left on many fronts. At the same time, he has also managed to shift the country further to the left. Do you think Sanders could come within a few hundred delegates of Clinton in 2008? Ask Kucinich what happened in 2008?

Don't put your faith in Millenials and parties... Millenials don't believe in parties. However, they are accelerating this country's left shift.
