Green Party

The Long Walk

It’s nice to see many people are giving the Democratic establishment the middle finger by declaring that they won't vote for Hillary in November if she gets the nomination. However, it's almost May, and six months is a long time from now. Will the Bernie or Bust movement be able to hold strong until then? If Hillary gets the nomination, it’ll be the beginning of the long walk.

If Bernie doesn't clinch it today, I will shift my focus.

If Bernie Sanders doesn't clinch it today, I will continue donating through the convention, but will shift most of my money downballot progressives & to the Green Party & Jill Stein. Inside/Outside strategies are not about putting all our eggs in one basket. I really do hope Bernie considers breaking as a new party. He has the name recognition & willing donors to do it.

Or here's another outcome:

Clinton wins by cornering the market on superdelegates, Sanders concedes, and the Sanderistas decide that "real" socialism isn't worth their time because the "real" socialists, i.e. the sectarians, are too hung up on doctrinal purity. Maybe they'll vote for Clinton or maybe they'll write in Sanders or maybe they'll stay home or something like that.
