4. Well that's good advice for her but I don't see that it will mean much to us

And she would be wise to embrace not only the Sanders energy, but to move to adopt many of his themes, and champion some of his major reforms. Sanders will no doubt endorse, if he loses the nomination. But how his followers respond – the energy and enthusiasm they bring to the general election — will be far more dependent on what Clinton does and how she runs than on his endorsement.


That's the conclusion of the article in the OP, which is what I was responding to. I just don't want to see people get fooled again, the system is set up to give us an illusion of change while all the benefits of real change go to the 1%, and Hillary as President would only exacerbate this.

Anyway I agree with your comments in Post #3, and really hope we continue this political revolution rather than get co-opted.
