I actually don't/didn't want The Bernie movement to fail, I want to see move and more people engaged with politics, which is why the CT crowd pisses me off. Why would the newly engaged want to continue to fight if they're told everything had been pre-ordained? By saying stupid shit like "corporate masters" "oligarchs" over and over and over. I asked one young Bernie supporter "how would you go about overturning Citizens United?" "I don't know" she answered. Argh.

I want the Bernie revolution to succeed in the only way it can--by supporting down ticket candidates with progressive agendas, all over the country. I'd get right behind that. I want to see a social justice platform successfully combined with economic justice and diverse activists coming together to change the face of politics for the better.
