    Is the revolution REAL to you? What I mean, a revolution isn't pain free, a revolution potentially has DEATH AND CASUALTIES AND UGLY RESULTS for the participants.

    When George Washington or Fidel Castro or Josef Stalin decided to revolt (All 3 are THE SAME by the way), did they say, "OK we'll start a revolution, but if it looks like someone might be inconvenienced, or lose value in their 401K, we'll back off?"

    Hell no, of course not, if you join a revolution, you have to be ALL IN, knowing you might die, or your children might die or at least many ugly outcomes for YOU! Not like weak ass modern American *******s, who want everything to be painless!

    So my question is, if Hillary wins the nomination, do you cave and ABANDON the revolution and vote for her as a defensive measure to defeat the GOP, and just live with the lesser evil WALL STREET WHORE Hillary? Or do you continue the revolution and oppose Hillary NO MATTER what the consequences!

    The revolution isn't about defeating the Republicans. The revolution has nothing to do with Bernie THE PERSON. The revolution is taking our country back from Wall Street and the monied interests and saying enough is enough, corporations aren't people and money isn't speech, so FCCK YOU!

    So I say, you oppose Hillary to the death, I'd vote Trump 1st over Hillary! My mottos...

    Bernie or BURN IT DOWN!

    Crash & Bern!

    Meaning, if they won't select Bernie, let the worst GOP lunatic DESTROY AMERICA, so maybe if things get bad enough, in 4 years, the RETARDS clamoring for "Tea Party Values" will have their lives so fccked up and painful, they'll decide to join the revolution too.... OR NOT? But screw it, I'm all in, a revolution isn't easy, and it has to hurt.

    Two additional points.... I'm willing to destroy my own life and to DESTROY MY DAUGHTER'S FUTURE to continue the fight, and the fight includes destroying people like Hillary, who are the exact type of people this revolution is against! 2ndly, it's not about Bernie the person, so if Bernie say's, "I lost, please support Hillary", I reply, "Fcck YOU BERNIE! You abandoned this revolution, I didn't! No Hillary, no lesser evil anymore!"

    So who's in? who's going to join THE FUN with me? And who's going to be a psssy and play it safe and worry about conventional BS like SCOTUS appointments and the 2-party system?

    I say, NO RETREAT/NO SURRENDER!

    Looks like the only casualty of this revolution is Bernie's campaign. The DNC will see to it that he loses the nomination.

    You do realize that the whole revolution rhetoric is just that, rhetoric. Bernie and the rest of us are not talking about a literal revolution (like Washington or Castro), who the hell wants that? If you think this country is so bad off that it requires you to sacrifice yourself or your children, then you need to get out and do some traveling to some of the developing countries and see what a real dictatorship looks like.

    I do want a literal revolution. Sorry, it's not as simple to me as Bernie will try, but in the end we rally around Hillary. What I want is a leftist Tea Party that won't give in, that will obstruct, that will never compromise, that will fight for ideology and not give in for pragmatism. So I'm in. I've been to a lot of countries, I've been to former Soviet republics that are really screwed up, Carribean Countries, Central America and seeing all that I STILL WANT a full blown real revolution.

    And sorry, you aren't part of a monolithic "rest of us", go to some pro Bernie message boards or Facebook pages, people thinking like me are outnumbering those thinking like you, there's more than enough Bernie supporters that are willing to fight to derail Hillary's Vagina at any cost.

    I disagree. I will do what it takes to avoid a Republican dominated government. I am campaigning for Bernie as well as a congressional candidate in my district. A political revolution doesn't stop with Bernie. Your right that it must include voter mobilization at ALL levels of government. Win or lose Bernie is spearheading a movement that is much more than presidential politics. We must find other leaders in addition to Sanders. Don't give up just because we don't get what we want in this particular battle. There is too much at stake.

    Quite honestly, I think the revolution is on. I think Trump is taking his supporters far to the left of where they were 8 years ago and I think some are even aware of it. Any conservative who would have entertained a candidate who was once a Hillary supporter, favors a national health care system, doesn't know the Bible verse by verse, isn't opposed to abortion, and doesn't reflexively say "get a job" when they know the job market sucks, has made some real progress. Trump's supporters literally hate Republicanism as represented by Bush, Cruz and Rubio. Part of the revolution has to be that establishment Republicanism is DOA. It is.

    Maybe true. But so what? This revolution has nothing to do with Bernie the person.

    I agree! I am a hard core Bernie supporter and also believe that Trump aligns with my beliefs more than Hillary does. Trump is FAR LEFT for a Republican candidate. I'll vote for him, if it's him vs. Hillary!

    Don't worry, most weak asss lefties will join you and you'll probably get your Hillary. I'm just fully committed to not joining you. And hope to convince others to do the same.

    While I am a Bernie supporter, and while I also believe the revolution is on, I think we also have to be careful of over-reach. If Bernie gives the county a good wake-up call this time around, and Elizabeth pops up in 8 years, I just might be satisfied with the pace.

    Have you seen real bloodshed? Have you been in actual combat? If you are wanting a real revolution, I would hazard a guess that you haven't.

    The problem with the Internet is it puts you in a self-reinforcing fantasy bubble that makes you believe that there are more people who agree with you than there actually is. The vast majority of the American public has no desire for a revolution and among those that do, quite a few are on the opposite side of the political fence from you. Even Bernie Sanders would never support a real revolution, his voting record shows he is against most forms of violence.

    while im sad to admit this i think bernie is done. In order to convince the super delegates not to vote for clinton he had to beat her convincingly but if we have a situation where he is kinda even with clinton like how this is playing out then the superdelegates have an excuse not to vote for him.

    No, I haven't, but their always has to be a first time for everyone, and I want it now. maybe I'll regret it later,but as for today, I VOLUNTEER.

    Besides, it's not even going to be that, I will take my action of either not voting, voting for Trump and just plain opposing Hillary, that's all the revolution is as of today.
