Bernie should stay in until the convention.

[One of the 99]

Let's face it, the Democratic party has become far too centrist over the last 30 years. Part of that is due to GOP wins in 3 consecutive presidential elections in the 80s to more recent mid-term losses. But now is the time to push the party to its more liberal and progressive roots.

Bernie staying in to the convention, will give him a say in the future direction of the party from shaping the platform, rules for the next election and maybe even picking the VP nominee.

1. "too centrist"????? To who? To make such a statement is an insult to Democrats as a whole.

Bernie, if he stays a day longer, won't have any role in the convention. I saw sour grapes in him last night. I keep asking and have gotten no direct answer, but what the hell makes one a "progressive" instead of a Democrat?

2. "too centrist" after the first African American President. Hmmm....nt

7. and the first woman nominee for the presidency....n/t

8. Ya because this is all about the race of Obama

Uh derp.

3. Hillary's platform right now is as progressive as any in American history.

4. Bernie will make a speach at the convention and effect the platform.

Continuing to dump on Democrats is a losing game.

The future is with the new Clinton administration
