It is time for Bernie to leave the democratic party. Over and over, the Democrats said it

[FourScore]

- you are not a democrat.

What are you gonna do about that?

BTW, yes, I am suggesting what cannot be suggested here.

1. Is he going to start a truly progressive party?

Not a corporate party? The party left me. I didn't leave them.

The liberals have no option but to fight with Bernie. And if the Democratic Corporate Establishment doesn't understand, there will probably be blood in the streets like there was in Chicago in 1968, and the Democratic Corporate Establishment will say, "WHAAAAT????"

4. It would probably be more effective to meet elsewhere to plot strategies rather than

have a repeat of 1968, which would tarnish the movement (or should I say would be used to tarnish the movement). In ten years the generations that support progressives will outnumber the Third Way Democrats, maybe sooner if Hillary governs as I think she will, so victory is not far off. I'm just afraid that some initiatives, like seriously addressing climate change, can't wait that long.

Sanders movement will go on as ‘People’s summit’ is planned

McClatchy DC

The “People’s Summit” will run from June 17 to 19. The final Democratic primary, to be held in the District of Columbia, is June 14.

The event is a “declaration of independence from establishment politics” that’ll address the current “repture in the political fabric of this country,” said RoseAnn DeMoro, National Nurses United Executive Director. The group has endorsed Sanders and is a lead summit sponsor.

... Sanders backers vow to keep up his fight, and are not conceding defeat. Charles Idelson, spokesman for National Nurses United, said Sanders will win. The independent senator from Vermont hopes to convince “superdelegates,” party officials who are not bound by state results, to swing to Sanders.

The Sanders forces have other goals, notably to advance an agenda they’ve been pushing for years. They’ll make a push at Democratic platform hearings and deliberations, which begin next week.

“We must build a movement that involve millions in the long term struggle to radically reshape our political and economic systems that benefit big corporations and the rich while devastating working families and the poor, said David Hatch of Reclaim Chicago., which fights against big money in politics.

And, he noted, “We are coming together to ensure this movement flourishes beyond the conventions, the election and the inauguration.”

2. The millions of people who did vote for Sanders never said that.

He'll do what he thinks is right, as per usual. Running in the primary was a long shot from the outset and none of what happened since last year was not foreseen. That is how Establishment and the folks who make it up play the game. No surprises.

The campaign played the game differently and, since it was the first time it'd happened since LBJ was in office it is no real surprise that we didn't win this time.

It may be that the left may make a comeback, now that the spark has been struck. We must hope so.

The water is rising.

3. Bernie was useful to them when he voted for the ACA. They don't deserve him. nt

7. Actually it is time for the millions of us who voted for Sanders to get to work

on taking over the institution of the Democratic Party.
