The Bernie Revolution Has Failed [View all]

[Zorro]

I come not to condemn Bernie, but to mourn him.

I woke up this morning to read up on the latest events on Dkos and found that Bernie Sanders did not congratulate Hillary Clinton on her victory, concede the race and urge his supporters to back her fully in the general election.

This is a disappointment as I fully expected that this would be what he would do. I fully expected Bernie would declare the race was over but the revolution would continue. I fully expected he would tell his supporters that they had accomplished a great deal in getting the progressive message into the halls of power at the DNC and that the way to continue to have influence was to show the power they had in defeating the Republicans and electing Democrats. By this means, the ideals, values and issues of the Bernie campaign would be shown to mirror those of not just his supporters or even Democrats, but of a majority of Americans.

Regretfully, I was proven to be wrong.
