In reply to the discussion: 1968 [View all]jwirr
(39,215 posts)16. That is pretty much how I see it also. I have been suggesting
that instead of a repeat of 1968 that the delegates turn their back on the convention - walk out the door and hold their own convention. Somewhat similar to what the delegates in 1968 did with the candle light march.
It may mean that the party will break up but if we are not welcome then we are better off going our own way.
But the biggest thing that I suggest is that we make very sure that we follow Bernie's lead - see what he wants to do before we act.
