Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Bernie Sanders' revolution is coming. His rivals are running out of time to stop it
(snip)
In San Antonio on Saturday night, Sanders ignored his Democratic rivals and delivered a general election-style call to action. He also spelled out, for anyone who wasn't familiar, the pillars of his revolution: To raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour; launch a "Green New Deal"; expand public housing; boost government support for organized labor; offer tuition-free college to students, while canceling their debt, and pay raises for school teachers; take apart "the prison industrial complex"; legalize marijuana across the nation and deliver "Medicare for All."
(snip)
That was how he ended a day on the trail that began with a rally in El Paso, Texas, where supporters, many in Tío Bernie t-shirts, were greeted in the lobby of the venue by a four-piece Mariachi band.
When they took the stage, the group performed a rendition of Frank Sinatra's "My Way."
Sanders, after Nevada, seems to be on his.

The power structure is shocked at what's happening.

Why wouldn't a "supposedly liberal" organization be upset about handing Trump a second term and the House on gold platter?

(13,110 posts)9. I watch his rallies.
I just finished watching the one in Houston, Texas.
He mentions it.
His slogan is "Us Not Me".
What do you think he means by a political revolution ???
Change for the bottom up.
He explains that at his rallies as well.
