I know he will go to the convention and Bern it up!

We need all new heads of the party. That won't happen if Bernie quits.

We need a strong progressive platform. Ditto the above.

We need more democracy, not the reduced portions which we have been served by the party.

There being no one else who is a leading democracy person, we should all get behind Bernie and keep pushing!
