(14,255 posts)they say this is just starting, I told them yes, and count me in for whatever they need.
The very vast differences between Bernie and Hillary, in my opinion, are going to make "uniting" almost impossible.
And whether those huge crowds translated into primary votes or not, those huge crowds of newly energized by politics folks are not going to show up in November for Hillary. My belief is the only reason they were there is for Bernie and his completely different platform. The "Democratic Party" did not exist, except as in "take our party back".
Should be interesting.

(20,166 posts)My assumption from the outset was that Bernie would not be the nominee.
That had much more to do with the Democratic Party, corporate-owned media, and the residue of nearly a century of red-baiting, red scares, and violent suppression of the left in this country, than what it did with Bernie.
Although I'm not a Vermonter, I've supported Bernie since he first was elected to Congress. When he announced his candidacy for president, I had just hoped he'd promote in his campaign what he always promotes and I wanted him to at least stay in it until my state's primaries so I could vote FOR a candidate who actually espouses and works for things I believe in.
I've been pleasantly surprised (while his opponents have been shocked) to see him do phenomenally better than was expected even by a supporter like me. As a result of his campaign, I don't feel I'm alone or marginalized in my politics like the corporate-owned establishment insists people like me are.
Bernie has been ignored, ridiculed, smeared...and what he has to say continues to resonate.
I just can't help but wonder what his campaign might have done had there actually been a political party apparatus helping him to advance, rather than one doing everything it can to undermine him and hold him back.
I'm with Bernie until he drops out, and I hope he takes it the very end.
Winning the nomination would be great, but I never really expected that to happen given our tilted political situation. What's most important now, imo, is for Bernie to continue to rally us to build on what his campaign stands for.

But on the flip side, the country and the party seem to enjoy the fucked up state of the country and the world. If Bernie fails then they'll get more of the same fucked up shit they have been voting for. It's just too bad that they're going to drag us down with them.

We're not going anywhere.
