Related: About this forumThe Democratic Party Has to Make A Decision | Bernie Sanders
Published on May 18, 2016
I come from the working class of this country, and I will be damned if we allow the Republican Party, who represent the rich and powerful, to win the votes of working class Americans. The Democratic Party has to make an important decision and I say to them: Open the doors. Let the people in!

intimidate, and if need be, to subjugate any Bernie supporters outside and inside the Convention hall in July.

my hope is that Bernie is well protected.
And then we run Indy or Green. Bernie knows there is no way in hell we will vote for her after watching this process unfold.

(13,326 posts)4. Tough choices. There is one way out of this, for the good of the Nation, and that is, Hills gets
charged and drops out or she doesn't get charged in exchange for dropping out. I have no illusions about the superdelegates - they are going to vote for her like the sheep (and paid lobbyists) that they are.
I don't see any other way that would pacify the Berners.
I, for one, have given a lot of money (relative to my means) to Bernie and will give him more still. However, if he just ups and endorses her, I will be furious. That is not what I wanted! I want a plan B. Whether it's a Green run with Jill Stein or a brand new Party coming out of the Convention, I need something (in case Bernie is not the Dem nominee, that is).
