We've only just begun

[votesparks]

Our political revolution is still less than a year old. We are organizing locally to become the dominant force in the Democratic Party on the local level.

This fight is just in round one.

1. Good for you

Prove you can win elections and you will be a force to be reckoned with.

[votesparks]

4. Give us time

We have candidates running all over the country, and many others being recruited. The progressive movement is organized like never before, and growing every day.

[Renew Deal]

5. I hope it's true

The promise of Sanders was never this campaign. He was never likely to win. It was always about the future.

10. We've aready done that

all we need to do is allow democracy to work and the establishment cowards are toast.

You won not by allowing the people to have a say in politics, but by taking every measure possible to restrict voices.

I am sure you feel really proud of that, knowing that in a open contest where arbitrary rules don't prevent people from participating, you don't stand a chance ... but that's what all the corporate money buys ... the loyalty of the greedy, and rules that keep integrity out of the process.

[Trust Buster]

2. There is no political revolution.

7. We shall see won't we

Since every Sanders group in the country is going local with the GIGANTIC and fired up groups of hundreds and sometimes thousands of volunteers and the names, phone numbers and email addresses of every Sanders supporter organized during this campaign.

Next, we go local, where the party is the weakest. All politics is local.

We are growing larger in numbers, every single day.

13. Ok Rush

Dittos.

3. I thought it started with OWS?

9. Before that, actually, this is just one marker

8. HRC supporters don't understand or care, generally speaking

They expect us to get on board or fade away. Many of them don't seem to realize that this is bigger than Bernie. He's the one who opened our eyes to how lost the Democratic party is, true. We owe him for helping us see what we should have noticed and acted on prior to this election cycle. Regardless, a progressive movement has been started. The Democratic party can either return to progressive values or cling to its corporate coziness, fracking, regime change, super pacs, etc. If it chooses not to change its ways they will continue to shrink in membership while a new progressive party forms and overtakes it.

12. If the Democratic Party doesn't back off identity politics and wedge issues,

its demise is assured. The Occupy movement and Bernie's candidacy must supply guiding principles starting soon, and local economic activity has to be part of it.
