I would like to share something that I received from someone here on DU the other day.

I had originally responded to someone in another thread but decided it deserves it's own thread. I had originally responded to a post about Bernie Supporters trying to change the Democratic Party agenda and someone responded and said that what they (the Bernie Supporters) were doing was part of their Revolution and was what they described as "entryism" which is in essence a hostile takeover of another organization, by joining a larger organization, without their knowledge of what their true intentions really are.

If this is their true intentions, than at least we should all be aware of that, so we know who and what we are dealing with, and none of us are under the illusion that Bernie is eventually going to endorse Hillary, but is actually complicit in the planned takeover and has been from the beginning. Again the Democratic Party needs to know who and what we are dealing with.

1. Not to be stupid, but

Do you really think that Bernie supporters are going to try to take over the democratic convention to try to get Bernie on the ballot?

Just curious. Just can't believe that some people are so........different.

2. I think the wave of young people willing to work for change will save our party.

May even save our country from the bloviator and whatever nightmares might unfold should he prevail. Of course we have to accept and welcome them for that to occur.

I'm sure that Bernie will endorse Hillary eventually.

I'm with her, now, and understand how unsettling it can be when new people take root in an existing order. I think it would be much worse for the future of our country if they remained cynical and disengaged, which was the situation before.

3. Reminds me of the anti-segregationists taking over the party in the 1950's and 60's

Change is messy, and for some it is quite scary.

But it's necessary.

4. Wait, you're concerned about people on the left

of the Democratic Party joining the party and moving it to left? Am I misreading your post?
