It's time for the corporate-dominated and corrupt DNC Establishment to be replaced.

By hook and by crook they are slowly changing us into Republicans. And we are more
than half-way there! We must reverse the flow! How can it be done?

Progressives could do now to slow down the negative influence of the present DNC.
Does anyone have any ideas that we might try? Just waiting a whole year is a whole
year wasted!

4. To me, the largest people's organizations are the Unions. They have been shoved the furthest

down the proverbial rabbit hole. I read where only 10% of American workers belong to unions, even as some leaders endorsed HRC without consulting their members. I think that anyone connected with a union could find a Bernie person and start holding meetings.

Also, check out local candidates who are or might be interested in Bernie's message. I don't think there are many of the 99% who have much hope, and/or know anything about what he's trying to do...and that is turn around this behemoth near-Oligarchy USA back to the people it has robbed and relegated to the financial edge.

Bernie.tv will help, as well. Is it up yet?

Post clips on social media...that's his ace in the hole.

Ask for time with local media to approve some kind of informative spot. Lord knows they all know Hillary.

Last resort...LOL...share DU. Just kidding...I love DU...even the Hillary folk. We'll all be on the same team before too long...best to remember that so that one side or the other doesn't appear to have egg on their faces, or be served a steaming pile of Fricassee of Crow.

and form an on-going team around it to grind out a take over of the Democratic Party, precinct-by-county-by-state-by-state. This was partially done in 71 & 72 in connection with the McGovern campaign. Folks, it's grueling work, having been involved 45 yrs ago. No leading light of progressivism -- Sanders, Warren, whoever -- is going to pass this or order that for us. It's wholly up to us.
