Bernie or Bust supporters should work to get Hillary elected.

But they should organize as a sub group with an organized identifiable agenda. They should express their goals clearly. The Bernie or Bust group should be a part of the GOTV effort. They should ask Bernie Sanders to front their efforts and continue to lead. That is what the Bernie supporters should do.

1. Sanders is starting organizations to work at the grass roots level so candidates can get funding

and help them organize their campaigns. This is a very long term project.

Bernie Sanders will launch organizations to spread progressive message

Sanders plans to support at least 100 candidates running for a wide range of public offices — from local school boards to Congress — at least through the 2016 elections. And he’ll continue to raise funds for candidates while campaigning for them all over the country. He said he probably will campaign for Tim Canova, a progressive primary challenger to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, who chairs the Democratic National Committee.

“If we are successful, what it will mean is that the progressive message and the issues that I campaigned on will be increasingly spread throughout this country,” Sanders said. “The goal here is to do what I think the Democratic establishment has not been very effective in doing. And that is at the grass-roots level, encourage people to get involved, give them the tools they need to win, help them financially.”

Bernie Sanders has inspired thousands of supporters to express interest in running for political office.

2. Good!

There is real power in being an organized with definable political positions. Helping Hillary become elected by an organized "Bernie or Bust" block will be real political power.

3. The whole point of "Bernie or Bust" is that if Bernie didn't win, bust is preferable.

They don't care that "bust" is President Trump.

4. Just a slogan

The Bernie supporters had a real political agenda they wanted enacted. Bernie lost but the agenda is still relevant.

5. There are less B.O.B.s than there were PUMAs 8 years ago

90% of Bernie backers on on board. The Bernie Busters are closer to Trump that Hillary at this point they are in love with disrupting. They want what they want and they want it now and if they do not get their way then they throw a tantrum. Change takes time and unfortunately they can not see the amazing change that Bernie brought to our party. Bernie reestablish the ideals of our roots those of FDR. Let the Busters go their own way we have hard work to do.
