in office. That's how you change things, from the ground up, not the top down. Whether it's HRC , BS or Jill Stein nothing will be accomplished unless you have the congress at your back. That what happened with all those star struck Obama supporters. They bailed on him in the mid-terms and he's had to battle the congress for 6 years, actually almost eight with Ted Kennedy and Richard Byrd sick and dying and Al Franken's contested election. He was the Left's last messiah before Bernie. Let's see how long his ardent supporters have his back once he's part of the establishment. Will they be there for the mid-term in 2018?
I'll vote for Bernie if he's the nominee, but I don't expect him to come anywhere close to accomplishing what he has promised. I just want a Democrat, or Independent (I assume BS will leave the party once he's elected) to fill Supreme Court vacancies. Otherwise whatever progress the left has made since FDR will be toast for the next generation.
