If I were Bernie I would negotiate for something long term and meaningful.

There are a number of items like getting rid of the superdelegate system, getting rid of DWS, $15 min wage. However, I think he should also go for something even bigger like a special cabinet position that addresses the key items of his campaign and the issues his voters are most concerned about. Maybe something like "Secretary of the People" and would advise the WH on various issues that crosscut multiple departments. Not sure if that would be doable but it would be a lasting and significant result from what he and his supporters have achieved this election.

1. What a lot of people seem to forget

is that this is not an open process. This is about how one political party operates and chooses its candidate for president. Something they are entitled to do in whatever way they wish, within the dictates of the law. People are free to like or dislike how they operate, but Bernie Sanders had rejected the Democratic party for most of his political career (as have many of his supporters), and that's certainly their prerogative, but it's more than a little disingenuous for them to jump into the two party system only when it becomes politically advantageous, and demand that a party conform to how THEY think it should work.

3. True but Bernie has tapped into a huge new segment of young liberal voters.

This could be the future of the party. We shouldn't dismiss it or pass up the opportunity to take advantage of it.

5. He's certainly free to try to convince the party leaders

and Hillary Clinton that it would be to their advantage to adopt some of his ideas in the GE campaign, but there is a strong sense that he and his supporters are operating from a sense of entitlement to be part of the campaign mechanism of a party that they had largely rejected until 2015, when they are not so entitled.

7. Those people will never take the oath

If they did already they will eventually leave the party.

2. You and I both know it'd be a sinecurial job at best. eom

4. Well that could also be negotiated.

He could make sure the position has some decision making authority.

6. Remember, Clintons keep lists

who was for us and who was against us
