Bernie Sanders

-snip-
With less than three weeks until the Iowa Caucus, the political revolution is gaining steam, with Bernie Sanders ahead of Hillary in two recent Hawkeye State polls, winning among all voting blocs in a New Hampshire poll, and closing in on Clinton in two nationwide polls. In these exciting times, we must remember Bernies major message: This movement isnt about one person, but ordinary people standing up and fighting back against an oligarchic system which benefits the one percent.
In other words, voting for Bernie Sanders isnt enough, we must begin to participate actively in transforming our political system. Direct action and street marches are certainly necessary, with the #MarchForBernie happening across the country in less than two weeks, but we must not forget that a Bernie Sanders White House will also need a wave of progressive politicians winning seats in both the House and Senate.
With that objective in mind, we will present a few candidates who havent previously held Congressional office, and have strongly proclaimed that they #GotBerniesBack, running on his platform for a political revolution:

I count 45 Progressive Caucus members endorsing the right-wing centrist Hillary Rodham Clinton, with one endorsing the progressive candidate Bernie Sanders.
Maybe "progressive" now means "third way" and "DLC" to these people? Like Hillary, they "evolved"?
Sorry to say, but to my sore eyes they appear to be a spineless bunch.
