Checking in with the REVOLUTION of Sen. Bernie Sanders And It Isn't Over

March 16. Despite last night’s tough losses, Bernie supporters have a lot of reasons to be optimistic, including the fact that Bernie still has a chance of winning this thing. The MSM has declared the Dem. race over but there are still 24 states that haven't voted yet including big states PA, NY, CA and four US territories.

Bernie's candidacy might also cement the progressive-populist movement. And if he doesn’t win, we should begin now to take the revolution he’s started to the next step. If we remain true to principles, and continue with engaged activism, we can only go forward from here.

The frontrunner gets all the flak. Hillary is in the unenviable position of needing to be in front or she will sink, but in front she has to defend herself from everyone at once.

And win or lose with Bernie, we have a LOT of work still to do on the ground. We have entire social systems and norms that need to go away.

This isn't the beginning, but this isn't the high point of the revolution yet either. The best is yet to come.

He may one day be the person pointed to in history books who saved humanity, the country and the world from itself. I am not exaggerating.

Bernie is a great example of how any person has monumental potential to literally change the world.
