Bernie is the head of a movement now. Unwittingly with his run he's struck a deep cord with millions especially and most importantly millions of young people ( the future.) It is the young that will and must build on what he's accomplished here in a few short mos. On both sides of the political divide there is a lot of frustration at anger at a SYSTEM that has grown increasingly CLOSED to many and this FACT creates tremendous pressure from below like what happens when two great tectonic plates collide and lock. When the pressure is released a massive Earthquake and if it's at sea tsunami happens. We have seen this occur in human relations as well and it's not pretty. Rebellion, Revolt, Revolution and Reactionary surges backwards sometimes occur. HRC will face such a Reactionary surge this fall and given the lack of choices most of us will grudgingly be forced to vote once again for the lessor of two evils. The problem is both candidates represent the past, both represent ideas that aren't working and won't solve the problems being presented society. First and foremost is Climate Change , it's happening right in front of us and neither HRC nor Trump really want to deal with it. To some degree Trump's approach is more honest. he simply denies it's even a problem he likes to say "it's just the weather." HRC on the other hand takes Obama's strategy and doubles down on it. She wants to say she's all for stopping it , but drill baby drill is what she tells her financial backers. Her's is a cynical arrogant form of denial that tries to solve it withall the right words, not action. Both, offer the same failed market based solutions to the failing Health system. It goes on and on a litany of nonsense.

I hope you are right, I hope that young people persevere with the Bernie movement. One can imagine that the country's political future will see the Trumpsters and the Bernie people collide again and again. This is where we are at.
