And the Sanders "Revolution" is bogus. He is part of the Establishment, as are the top of his team. And his refrain "both parties are the same" creates cynicism.
If he really wants to create lasting progressive change towards the Left, he'd join the Democrats and do what Paul Wellstone did.
He'd get all those young supporters into camps learning how to run for office as DEMOCRATS to push the party to the left starting at the local level.
YOUR side consists mostly of youngsters who apparently flock to rallies but can't be bothered to show up and vote. And disgruntled white people.
And Sanders campaign is so negative and destructive he'll leave a bunch of cynical young adults who can't be bothered to get involved and change the Democratic party cause it's "just as bad".
YOUR side's approach is to fracture the Left and create a Leftwing version of the Tea Party.
Take a good look at what's happening on the Right. You think that's a good idea for the Left?
When Hillary Clinton told someone to "run for office" at a Town Hall a few weeks back, Sanders supporters HOWLED in protest.
