A movement without the reins of power is all talk.

Bernie realizes that that reins of power for the rest of his career is with the new Clinton administration.


A reconciliation is needed

1. I'd say the only movement he really cares about relates to his bowels.

Over the past few months it has become more evident that he is just a bitter person in the eyes of most people. The stories from his staff verify those conclusions.

2. ...'A movement without the reins of power is all talk'...

'A movement without the reins of power is all talk.'

Party over principle... this is the bit, HRC and her supporters embrace and what they fail to understand about Bernie's campaign

Simply put, DEM establishment is in uncharted waters, they have NO bearing to guide them... their flailing until convention will be a thing to behold...

'Sore winner' will be the tamest of the adjectives to define them...

Principle matters so much more than party.. and this lesson will hurt... and hurt badly rolling into and through convention but one DEM establishment will learn

A movement isn't about one man or one woman... the 'reins' of power are in the people supporting principle over powerful special interests

3. Give it up. Go tell somebody who cares

The next few years will be good for progressives

4. for who again? glad I swallowed my coffee before I read that

5. ...agreed...

I believe these next few months will be even more exciting for actual progressives/liberals as we roll into and through convention

besides... you obviously 'care' otherwise all this posting effort by you and others like you wouldn't be so rampant and voluminous

7. Exactly the attitude that demonstrates our point

You have a pro-war, pro-death penalty pro-Social Security "reform", pro-welfare "reform" pro-for profit prison, pro-abortion regulation, pro-Wall Street, pro-TPP, pro-fracking candidate who you claim is "progressive". That denial of reality has been turned up to "11".

For people who style themselves "pragmatists" HRC supporters sure as hell love burning bridges to their own potential allies.

6. You mean the new Bush-Clinton Dynasty

Provided she wins.

And it is the height of hypocrisy to deride Republicans voters and leaders for mindlessly falling in behind Trump despite all the evidence of his unsuitability for the presidency, then attacking Sanders supporters as "disloyal" for having the same problem with HRC.
