2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What does Bernie Sanders really want? What he said he wants. Read his speeches. Go to his website [View all]Lunabell
(6,080 posts)52. Bernie or Busters,
If you were in the Democratic party before Bernie's run for the presidency, please consider staying in the party and continuing the fight.
We need the progressive left wing of the party to win it back. Bernie has already changed the conversation. Bernie and his message now have seats at the table. This is a party of the working class and we need your voice. A fractured party will have very little power to defeat billionaire interests that now rule the rethuglicans.
If this party is good enough for Bernie and he endorses Hillary Clinton, I am in it all the way!

Don't play these racist games. Hillary 'won' more delegates through voter suppression.

Everytime a Clintonite defends voter suppression, it outs them as political hacks.

Or maybe they were just already progressive and you couldn't (or wouldn't) see it.

+1 He attacks Republicans only on their stands on issues; Hillary often goes ad hom.

Maybe you should investigate the Constitution and history. Congress is not always Republican and

Okay, since a Convention doesn't write or pass legislation, what else does Bernie Sanders want?
