157. yes the revolution lives on

even if the campaign ends the revolution continues. It is not about independent parties or personalities it is about reforming the Democratic Party and the country so that the people are represented. We will be certainly looking to replace the 'deadwood' in Congress.

Bernie has tried to tell them he can't just tell his supporters what to do. Boy are they going to Skwmom Jun 2016 #112
