2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: American Revolution (Phase Two) [View all]CajunBlazer
(5,648 posts)51. I thought most Sanders supporters beleieved that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
They seemed to believe that they would not have another opportunity to support a candidate like Bernie and that's why they were going all out for him.
Now we are being told that while this opportunity is fading, the revolution is "just warming up". What is going to happen when both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren endorse Hillary Clinton. What happens when, hopefully, Hillary Clinton becomes President - maybe for the next 8 years.
Bernie is 74 and who knows when he will retire from the Senate. Who is going to lead the revolution next year, or the next, or eight years from now when we may be facing a totally different political situation?

That is what causes me so much pain. I do not understand their cold bloodiness.
