Why Bernie Won't Quit [View all]

In case you were wondering:


Back at the podium in downtown Oakland, Sanders says, “My point is that what seems impossible today, in fact happens when millions of people demand that it happens… So on June 7th, let us together create the largest voter turnout in Democratic primary history in California. And let this great state, one of the most progressive states in the country, go on record as saying. ‘Yes, let’s go forward with the political revolution.”


Sanders and his supporters know that they have not just defied expectations with their caucus and primary victories, message of economic justice, and grassroots fundraising and organizing, but that they have altered and shaped the national political narrative in 2016. They know they are heading to the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia in unprecedented numbers—with forty-something percent or more of the pledged delegates—and most of the under-45 vote, representing the party’s and nation’s future.


The future of the Democratic Party and the nation. Two great reasons to vote Bernie.
