It is time for Bernie to keep campaigning

for the nomination. He should not get out until he is voted out on the floor of the convention. And, if he doesn't secure the Dem nomination, he should demand some concessions from the DNC for his support of Hillary. This is revolution and hardball is the only way to win a revolution. I hope we see the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party take over the reigns from the DINOs. No more Reid, DWS, Schumer, et. al. Take down the establishment and replace it with the people. Bernie isn't running because it is his turn, unlike Hillary. He is running because it is OUR turn, and win or lose the presidency, this time, we WILL WIN the revolution. Time is on our side!!

there is a big difference

revolutions that fail generally don't get concessions unless they play nice

election rhetoric, speaking out of both sides of his mouth as his opponent is wont to do.

Essentially, running for the nomination and promoting his issues and vision are one and the same thing to him.

They are not separated by a vacillating set of views on all topics large and small while pandering to different groups with such differing views as you appear to believe, suggesting such separations are necessary "in order to win".

You only operate under such a strange and false assumption because you believe such things as "a moral compass" and "consistent views" are separate to winning because you appear to identify with a politician that makes such separations regarding vision and views and winning at all costs.

From your perspective I imagine it is hard to believe that running for the nomination and promoting one's true issues and vision need be separate. More's the pity.

I hope he works to his strength and keeps pushing the return of The New Deal and The Second Bill of Rights that FDR wanted.

He should run on that platform and it will bring in more young people to the Democratic Party and the benifit will be the turnover of the House and Senate and a Supreme Court that reflects the will of the people.

No more attacks on Secretary Clinton. That strategy is a failure.
