Bernie Sanders
In reply to the discussion: Surprisingly, I'm seeing some Bernie supporters dialing it way back today. [View all]HereSince1628
(36,063 posts)37. According to Bernie, it's not about Bernie, so it really cannot be just about his candidacy.
Seems to me that means it must also be about the need for the 'political revolution' that he's calling for, that many millions have recognized the need for and cast primary and caucus votes for, and that millions have donated and volunteered for.
Sanders' candidacy is one path of a populist progressive advance on a much broader front. The candidacy certainly is important, but it's also been the vehicle that has rallied us to hope to address the needs of our society and our democratic processes
We haven't lost that hope, we haven't lost movement, and we won't lose either unless we quit.

Fuck that. This isn't 2008, and Bernie isn't another establishment Party insider like BO and HRC.

It's not one damned way different than when Bernie won his primaries over Clinton.

No YOU go easy on discussing Sanders supporters. You want to discuss them take it elsewhere.
