54. It will make them stronger

Mon Jun 6, 2016, 08:26 PM

Jun 2016

There are good reasons to concede by Sanders and there are equally good reasons to carry on.

I think the most important reason to carry on is that it would be bad form to quit on the younger supporters who have come into the political process for the first time. To abandon those people's vision to do no less than remake the entire money-for-hire political process risks them NOT staying around to support Clinton, should she be the nominee.

They are there for a change, not for a political party's inflexibility.
