3. I'm just a little bitty (repeat) donor and I agree ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION

regardless of the delegate math. the message and that last phrase about "the Democratic Party going forward" are absolutely paramount. Sure a Sanders presidency would be SO MUCH BETTER than our other choices, but the campaign is crucial in any case.

The existence of some ongoing coherent body (like the Rainbow Coalition was) that speaks to the progressive impulses of the Democratic Party is absolutely key. Over time there would be plenty of issues to broaden the coalition under an HRC presidency. That is one of the great benefits of ANY Democrat over even the most reasonable Republican let alone a Trump. This mobilization of the progressive Democrats should be a 24/7 development in ALL years, not just election years, and Bernie Sanders could very well promote that crucial voice
