While he can still win the nomination, it will take a huge effort and improvements in our strategies. So why would I say he has won already?

NOT ME. US.

This is about far more than a nomination, or a presidency, or Bernie’s position. It was not a coincidence that Bernie spoke of a political revolution since the start of the campaign!

The other candidates are running for themselves. Sanders ran to build something, and succeeded. The ONLY way he can lose is if you stop now!

Bernie has planted millions of seeds. EVERY VOTE AND EVERY DELEGATE WON FROM HERE IS ANOTHER SEED. I still want to win the nomination, and think we can if we can bring a broader coalition on board, but we MUST continue volunteering and donating and converting the whole way to the convention, and after, win or not. The revolution must not only continue, but expand.

Credibility

I saw some that wondered if they should still go forward with a trip to canvass, donate, or volunteer. The answer is absolutely yes! We can still take the nomination, but that is NOT the only point. This is a fight for a political revolution, not just a presidency, and a change in how our culture perceives things.

One of the most important articles on the race got it right: Why Bernie vs Hillary Matters More Than People Think.

“This is not a contest to see who will lead the democrats, it’s a contest to see what kind of party the democrats are going to be in the coming decades, what ideology and what interests, causes, and issues the Democratic Party will prioritize. This makes it far more important than any other recent primary election.”

EVERY VOTE AND EVERY DELEGATE adds to the credibility sane economic policies will have in the future, and the opportunity any progressive candidate will have to win primaries and elections, whether it ultimately happens in the Democratic party or an alternative.

Additionally, delegates determine the official party line, so the more we win, the more it shall resemble Bernie’s.

Opposition

The Sanders for president subreddit was invaded by hundreds of trolls on Tuesday. Every time a troll tries to get you down and tell you you’re wasting your effort, remember, not only are they wrong, but it’s the complete opposite. You are doing one of the most important things anybody in the world is doing. You’re protecting those seeds and planting more!

The establishment, media, lobbyists, Trumpkins, and trolls are flooding the world with insane troll logic so people won’t notice the ‘impossible’ was already accomplished in America a few decades ago, and Bernie’s positions are proven every day in the rest of the world. Do not let them discourage you, and for an example, look to Bernie.

BERNIE

You should read this article from 2005 on how Bernie had to fight to get what his amendments: Inside the Horror Show That Is Congress He did this hundreds of times, for us.

Those negative feelings you experienced at the primary results yesterday? Bernie has had to live them, and stand up and take more, the last FIFTY YEARS. He has had a lot of successes and a lot of horrible experiences in which he had to fight in congress against incomprehensible injustices, and still come back and act cordial to the monsters who did them.

Yet he still fought and he planted millions of seeds. You. Will you grow into a mighty tree and plant your own?
