Reclaim Philadelphia was founded in May 2016 by former staff and volunteers with the Bernie Sanders campaign in Philadelphia. We launched our first campaign, protesting corporate power and lobbyists within the DNC host committee in June of 2016.
Reclaim started with a group of 35 members and one campaign and has grown into an organization with multiple issue based and electoral campaigns and task forces that are fueled by the engagement of over 300 dues paying members and hundreds of volunteers.

But, wait...how come only 81%? What about the other ~60 members?
How many in that organization voted for Jill Stein?

(146,317 posts)have no plans to vote for a Democrat nominee at all. That would be my guess.

(11,330 posts)We narrowed our efforts to Bernie and Warren because Reclaim members voted overwhelmingly for them in our previous candidate poll (66% of members voted for Sanders as their first choice, 32% for Warren as their first choice).

(146,317 posts)in the polls. That's unfortunate for me, because she is my second choice to be the nominee. Bernie Sanders is not on my list at all for the nomination. It's looking to me, now, like it's going to be Biden, Sanders, Bloomberg and Warren at the convention. Mayor Pete seems to be falling out of the top four, and the 15% rule begins to come into play.
I keep in mind that it is the Democratic Nominating Convention. We will nominate a Democrat for President at that convention. That is why Bernie Sanders will not be the nominee. He is a Democrat only when he needs to be a Democrat. When he does not need to be a Democrat, he reverts back to his Independent status.
I want a solid, reliable Democrat as our nominee. It is the Democratic Party, after all. A sometimes Democrat will not get the turnout we need in November.
