Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumFast forward to July 25-28 Philadelphia
Given the treatment afforded Bernie throughout the primaries by the DNC, make a prediction about his role at the convention, aka the Hillary Coronation.
I think his input regarding the platform will be largely shit canned and his time at the podium, if they give him any at all, will be at 3 AM for 15 minutes well after the tv crews have packed it in for the night. I wish I was being facetious. I'm not.
I don't see this ending well.

(3,919 posts)and likely set some goals for his work. he'll prioritize and realign his time to get the revolution going/organized. but first, i hope he gets to take a few short breaks away from all of the demands on his energy.

(3,919 posts)we can neither be still nor give up and walk awy. too many who believe as we do are discouraged, yes - so those of us who continue to speak and work at it can continue to stand for the issues and future we believe in - those who want to hear - will hear the call.
