Suggestion for an approach to the fall campaign [View all]

[Ken Burch]

(if we don't get the nom and get shafted on the platform fights, that is...I still think we CAN win the nom...but wanted to put this out there as a way to keep things going and to build on what we have done so far).

Have Bernie keep doing the mass rallies, with the following emphases:

1)Voter registration/GOTV/movement-building events;

2)Campaigning for all PROGRESSIVE Senate and U.S. House candidates. and for state ballot initiatives that correlate to Sanders values;

3)Anti-Drumpf campaigning on "anti-fascist"/Popular Front grounds.

I think this is something we could do without being under the control of the regular Dems, and, if HRC does get the nom, it strikes me as a way forward that doesn't just leave everyone with a huge feeling of emptiness and despair if things don't go our way in Philly.

(I've never personally been "Bernie or bust, and I still want us to try to hard for the nom, but this is meant as a proposal for where we might go next).
