by Matt Yglesias that you should read.

http://www.vox.com/2016/4/20/11466376/bernie-sanders-future-democrats

The party (and the country) continues to get more liberal (yes, it's true). Things like gay marriage, legalization of marijuana, raising the cap on SS, etc, insurance reform, have been accomplished, or are on the table. Almost unthinkable 15 or 20 years ago.

Politics is a long term process, change is slow and progress is usually incremental. Even if Bernie doesn't win, he's changed the conversation. Young people are energized. The information age has changed everything, and the party is more responsive and more accounatble than ever before. We have a slew of progressives in Congress, and a crop of candidates for the next election that we can rally around (Russ Feingold, Donna Edwards, Zephyr Teachout, Alan Grayson, and more).

You've picked a terrible time to leave, so I hope this is just a vacation. Take it easy for a while, then please come back. We need fighters on this team.
