Hence the increasingly shrill calls for him to drop out, and "Why are people still allowed to criticise the Democratic nominee on DU?"

Several points.

I learned a long time ago that the most powerful thing a person is to persist. Nothing freaks out the bully like the guy who gets back up and keeps moving forward. The right wing democrats will be rattled when they wake up tomorrow and the Bernie party is still going strong.

The secret weapon is the message. This is not about Bernie. What gets played out now, between the Wednesday and the convention is the full platform set in bold relief against the grey defeatism of the right. Vision vs capitulation. Win or lose, the vision will still be there to guide us or reveal how far we have strayed and how weak our will.

Democracy kicks ass!

[font size="1"]Honors to my deceased wife's artwork, she created this while we were protesting Hillary/Bush's illegal war at that time[/font]

Whereas Sanders vision is one of of strength in unity, one of coming together as brothers and sisters helping each other, to defeat the tactics of dividing the 99% against one other in order to conquer us for the aristocratic .01% that own her. His vision of unity is not new but quite inspiring by contrast.



The contrast of visions is stark, and to those of us that follow the vision of unity, Our dream drives us whereas she as no dream but wealth and war

Regardless of how well Bernie does today, the media will say Hillary is now the Democratic candidate. Baloney. The "momentum" theory of politics is based on momentum stories the media itself generates. Don’t succumb to the “momentum” game. Regardless of what happens today, this race is still very much alive, for at least 3 reasons:

1. In the next few months the primary map starts tilting in Bernie’s favor: In later March: Maine, Michigan, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Arizona, Washington state, and Hawaii. In April: Wisconsin, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island. In May: Indiana and Oregon. In June, California, New Jersey, and New Mexico.

2, Small-donor contributions continue to flow in to Bernie's campaign. In February, the campaign raised a whopping $42 million. South Carolina’s loss didn’t stop the flow: The campaign received $6 million on Monday alone.

3. Bernie's campaign is a movement. Americans know we must get big money out of politics and take back our economy from an incipient oligarchy. That’s why Bernie will take this movement all the way to the Democratic convention in, July 25-28 in Philadelphia (you might make plans to be there, too).

Another great way to give to Bernie!

I'll admit though, the cost was a bit high for me ($30 + shipping) but it is Union made and purely American!

Bernie Sanders!

TPTB knew he'd sweep this election if people got to know him! That's why the corrupt corporate owned MSM have a BERNIE BLACKOUT and from here on out will push him to drop out.

NOT HAPPENING

Go Bernie!

PEACE
LOVE
