2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSan Francisco Examiner endorses Bernie Sanders for president.
Sanders vision for the future of America is optimistic, egalitarian and just. The revolution he speaks of, however distant or far-fetched, is about restoring hope to so many who have assumed the terrors and injustices of modern life were insurmountable. That vision, that government can better peoples lives and root out entrenched corruption and cowardice, deserves our heartfelt support and full-throated endorsement.
Despite Sanders unexpected strength in state contests, the party superdelegate lead that Clinton enjoys means his chances to capture the nomination are slim. If she prevails, Clinton more moderate and hawkish than Sanders, less convincingly passionate about the plight of those who live in poverty and those who struggle against systemic oppression will have to try to unite the party against Trump in November. Sanders has created a meaningful moment in American politics that speaks well for the future of the Democratic party. It is up to us to carry it forward.

Maybe even more videos of Sanders supporters failing to throw chairs, and even destroying the Democratic party by actually (gasp!) voting!
Flush and repeat.
