Embrace all progressives. DNC isn't perfect; let all progressives do their work.

Let Bernie do his own progressive grassroots thing with his email list. If I were him I'd be slow to turn that list over to the DNC too. This New Republic article from February explains why it was a big mistake merging OFA in 2008 with the DNC.

Basically OFA was about grassroots organizing and the DNC damaged that when the DNC brought OFA in-house.

Progressives need grassroots organizing. The DNC doesn't need to be part of that necessarily. Let Bernie do his own grassroots stuff. Everyone can be pulling in the same direction on issues and ideas.

Be positive about Bernie!!!

Obama's lost army

He built a grassroots machine of two million supporters eager to fight for change. Then he let it die [ed: by turning it over to the DNC]. This is the untold story of Obama’s biggest mistake.
