(3,111 posts)with a strong message, and the clear winner, why doesn't she just start doing her thing and get swept up in it?
I would like to see her do her thing with the Progressives onboard, but that is entirely up to her.
I think Bernie has already adequately made the point that the Progressive point of view has a lot of adherents, to the point where she would be wise to try to include them in her plans. But i don't count on it. I have seen this rightward side of the Party do plenty of ridiculous things already, and I don't necessarily expect them to stop now.
But one thing is for sure. She doesn't have to stop just because of Bernie, and she really isn't anyway.
Frankly, I think it's just the damn nervousness of you guys in action. Good luck with nervousness containment, because I don't think we're going to stop anytime soon.
