What happens if Bernie Sanders doesn’t win?

[OxQQme]

>If you are one of the many Berniephiles who has been wondering – either aloud and in public, or privately to yourself – what you might do if Bernie doesn’t’ win; if you are one who has considered writing in Bernie’s name on your primary election ballot if Hillary Clinton should happen to win the Democratic presidential nomination; or if you are even considering just sitting out the general election entirely, should Hillary be running against the Republican nominee instead of Bernie, then I have a word for you:

Stop. Please just stop.

Pause for a few moments to consider the utter absurdity of the situation: Here we are, more than a month before the first head counts will be conducted in the Iowa Caucus…already gaming out our possible moves for a Plan B…when we haven’t yet even implemented Plan A – not by a long shot.<

1. I'm focusing on helping Bernie win

I'm not going to worry about the alternative until I'm confronted with it.

But there's no way I can support the present day GOP. No chance. Never.

2. Exactly.

Bernie will win, that's the concern of today. I do already know my plan B, and it's what Bernie would do. But this isn't the time to ponder it, we're on the cusp of the true battle. And victory is likely.

3. My concern..that the voting will be rigged.

The corporations do not want Bernie. Wall Street does not want Bernie.. Ins and Pharma do not want Bernie. We have seen rigging every election. Bing from Microsoft says it's a Trump Clinton win and they (as noted in another thread) are the company handling the voting machines. I hope the momentum out stages the greed and illegal activities that could prevail in this election process...oh and one more thing Clinton is biting at the bullet to win...I saw quotes where she treated her previous security horribly. She is not who she tries to be in public. I am Feeling the Bern but am worried about the corruption that Bernie talks about.

4. That's my concern too

I think Bernie's team is aware of the possibility of a rigged election, but I don't know what checks and balances they could put in place to thwart it. The power brokers do not want Bernie to tamper with the strangle hold they have on financial interests. If they think he will win, they may pull out all the stops.

Don't mean to go into tinfoil hat mode, but it can happen. Here is KS there is still an investigation underway to ascertain whether the last election was rigged, and there is a lot of evidence to prove it may well have been.

5. They've apparently got their own system in place for Iowa.

6. Thanks for the link

Looks like Bernie's team is on top of it.

7. Don't think negatively.

Think positive.

Think about the millennial voters who are not counted in polls and will show up to polls Monday.

8. The future moves toward a party of progressive democrats

Why? Because as King said... the long arc of history -always- bends toward justice.

We are getting close to getting rid of a generation of democratic leaders who ran the party mostly for their professional interests.

We've seen populist movements for that emerged from the people, Occupy, BLM, and we've seen politicians get explosive support when confronting the party and TPTB ... at local through national levels. These things have been fore-shocks of the coming tectonic rearrangement.

Whether Bernie wins or not, there is no putting the toothpaste back in the tube. We've seen that support for progressives is real, and large. So have the politicians, and I imagine they'll soon be headed to tatoo parlors to change their spots.
