He is humble enough to realize that it's about the people he represents. Great man!

..even if Hillary achieves her coronation,
the voices are now too loud to ignore without tearing the Democratic Party apart.
It IS a Movement that depends on no single person.

It requires us to never give up and always stand together, no matter what, we lose if we drop out, we must keep going.

Will she break up the banks?

Will she increase Social Security or privatize it?

Will she wage war or will we have peace?

Will Millionaires get more tax breaks?

Real power resides with the people. To be effective, it needs a focus. Bernie has made himself into that focus. Maybe he'll get himself elected and bring about change through the presidency. But even if he does not, he has amassed a great number of people to support the things he stands for, and he may find a way to use that support to make those things happen.
