Bernie for Senate Chair! [View all]

Listen, I know it isn't as sexy as President. However, in the words of Joe Biden... " This is a big fucking deal!"

I am proud to vote for Hillary for President, as I was to vote for Obama.

However, I strongly believe that Bernie is too great to be constrained by the office of the Presidency! We need him in the Senate and we need him to be the chair of the Budget Committee!

You want to continue the Revolution? This is how it is done friends! We Elect a Democrat to the White House and get a Democratic majority in the Senate and we push like hell to make the most progressive party platform a reality.

I love Hillary and always have. And as a Democrat I don't stand by and just say my Democrat President is infallible. No! We are better than that, we are smarter than that! We are about the progress not the person! So yes we will hold her feet to the fire bc as Democrats that's what we do. Democrats care about America and Republicans care about Republicans.

So I hope everyone on DU will RISE UP. Don't just VOTE! Volunteer! Take Bernies Passion and Hillarys Pragmatism and mold it into a movement that will make our great country even BETTER!!!
