(5,636 posts)The political revolution shouldn't end with a whimper. Even if Bernie doesn't have a chance of winning (and that's not true), he will stay in the race, because he has a chance of influencing and shaping the political landscape. FDR did not emerge out of a vaccum. He was a product not only of desperate times, but of social movements made up of laborers and immigrants. If Bernie does nothing else, he has laid the groundwork for an important social movement. The worst thing that could happen is for people to back out just because he doesn't win the Democratic nomination. Give it a few days, but I hope you come back, not as a Hillary supporter, but as someone who wants to see Bernie's political revolution continue to shape the Democratic party.
