The game doesn't end. It continues in 2017 and far beyond.
Do you think this is a contest for some minor Internet blip known as DU? (I think of it as DemocraticUNDERGROUND, by the way.) No. That's nothing. Let's have a sense of perspective here.
The thing that wanted to turn Obama 2008 into a peace and justice movement of 2009 but was denied, the thing that was the Occupy Wall Street moment when the "99% vs. the 1%" became salient, the thing that is Fight for $15 and Black Lives Matter and the immigration reform movement and the enormous environmental marches and actions since 2014, the thing that brought forth the Sanders campaign and will soon enough rediscover anti-war, it's not going away and it's growing.
The left is back and America is going left. That's the history that's being written. Sanders may indeed "lose" this campaign, but I hope he's not going away either. There's plenty of money for him to raise for the cause, beyond this matter of the quadrennial clown show of presidential electoral politics that never finds a bottom.
Remember among whom Sanders gets the huge majorities? They're under 45, they're under 30. Quite a few of us are a bit older, of course!
The people, enough of us, will be united for social and economic justice, for money out of politics, for ending corporate rule, for achieving democracy and peace. Deal with it. Join it. This is the future.
