The establishment won this battle, but

[TrueDemVA]

Now is the time to focus on local and state changes. For all of those who supported Bernie, we now see who is a part of the problem with our Party. We fought for the big win at the very top. It may not have worked, but I truly believe the message was sent.

We must start working from the ground up now. We need to continue this fight to change politics for the future. A new wave of political change needs to start taking hold at local and state races. Continue searching for candidates that are progressive and not DINOs. This may be a longer road to a better future, but it will create a stronger foundation that will last longer.

It's okay to be discouraged that the establishment and corporate media decided the race. Let your mind take a break from politics, because now the real fight is getting started. It will be a marathon, but it is something we owe to our future.

No more DINOs!

1. Yes, though we also need to reach out from our own local areas

and bring concentrated efforts that promote the movement. By which I at least mean collectively working to move essential resources to where they are needed to take open seats and to challenge and replace anti-progressive incumbents that work against gov't by, -for-, and of the people.

That coordination and networking requires some organization.

Such an organization would be greatly facilitated by the transformation of the Sanders campaign into Sanders' Movement.

Sanders campaign really does know who we are. They can help us remain in touch, aware of and engaged in projects and activities that hold us together and step progressive reform forward.

I'm really wanting very much to see local efforts that link to a nation-wide network.

2. I think reddit has links to local organizations.

I am no longer going to vote for any lesser evils. I will not vote for any DINOs.

My lesson learned - the Democratic party is ruthlessly moving to the right, will never move to the left. So I am done with all the deceitful homilies about working within the party. That, IMO, is just code for "STFU and vote for whoever we tell you to vote for. And send us money".

3. I've had other dems tell me

that if would have started earlier to get national recognition, he might have had a chance. I call bullshit. And now that the message is out there, I am extremely confident that we will win in 2016/2018. Thank you Bernie!!! We love you.

4. What if all your choices are DINOS? NT

5. Bernie is the last

Democrat I will ever vote for, sorry but when a car is totaled you send it to the scrap heap. The DNC and Hillarys cronies drove it into a brickwall, there is nothing worth salvaging.
Democracy died an ugly painful death this election cycle and nothing will revive it.

6. They may have won the battle BUT,

they have inspired more people to concentrate on the WAR against WE THE PEOPLE.
And you have to remember that the people, united, shall NEVER be defeated.

Onward!

Berniecrats are doing it. We are starting this election with Congress and Senate seats, as well as local seats. We aim to get the DINOs out, and get REAL Democrats in!
THEN, let's see the Hilliarites say something when VERY progressive candidates run, AND WIN!
