(50,254 posts)I don't think Bernie should run and doubt HRC would, but there are some who take at statement even close to the idea that she shouldn't run as an attack on her.
We need a different generation and a clear break from the existing way the party does things...because November proves that way doesn't work.
We need renewal from below and, for the first time in years, a real effort to actually try to rejuvenate the Democratic party on the state and local level.
We need, I think, a program that combines the antiracist positions the Clinton campaign emphasized(and the Sanders campaign shared but didn't communicate about well) with the economic justice emphasis and the critique of the corporate role in politics the Sanders campaign brought to the discussion.
And obviously, we also need a less toxic way of discussing all of the above then was managed in 2016.
