"The last Democratic primary – the District of Columbia – took place on Tuesday. Bernie Sanders met with Hillary Clinton that night. He announced he would address his supporters online on Thursday. The chattering class is abuzz with speculation on what Bernie will do. Commentators are lathered up about whether and when he will endorse Clinton, whether he’ll work to elect her, and whether he’ll “fold his followers” behind Clinton.

The hand-wringing and rumor-mongering are pure melodrama. Sanders has already made it clear – repeatedly – what he will do. The real question is not about what Bernie will do, but about what Clinton will do. Here’s what Bernie has told us he will do:

1. Bernie cannot "fold his followers" behind Clinton.

We follow Bernie because of the issues that he and Hillary are miles apart on. Will not be folded into being complicit in inflicting war and fracking, etc.

2. Wouldn't it be wonderful

if Bernie continued to hold rallies, right up until the convention?

First of all, it would reinforce his message to us supporters and keep us in the forefront.
Secondly, it would show the DNC Bernie remains a force to be reckoned with.
Thirdly, a lot can happen between now and July 25th.
