The Democratic Platform fight is over. [View all]
Early this morning, before Bernie Sanders made his big speech endorsing Hillary Clinton today in New Hampshire, Sanderss top policy adviser, Warren Gunnels, sent an email to a few dozen fellow Sanders supporters.
The Senator made the difficult decision not to file minority reports, Gunnels wrote in the email, which was sent to all of Sanderss representatives on the Democratic convention Platform Committee and forwarded to this blog. You should be receiving an e-mail soon from the Senator about the next steps in the political revolution.
This dry language actually amounts to a very significant declaration: What it means is that the
Sanders campaign will not further contest the makeup of the Democratic platform at the convention, even though Sanders did not get all the changes to the platform he had hoped for.

I would have preferred for there to be votes at the convention on stopping the TPP and banning fracking. There won't be.
