...to continue to campaign regardless of the results of the elections. It is no accident that Bernie surrounds himself with people whose goal is to undermine and replace the Democratic party. If Bernie does not win, then they will want to make sure that Trump wins in order to sharpen the contradictions in order to bring about revolution. Here is Susan Sarandon on Colbert describing the silver lining of a Trump presidency:

“People are really awake now because the cracks have let the light in,” Sarandon told host Stephen Colbert, echoing comments she’s made since the election.

“Goldman Sachs has been in politics forever, and now we’re noticing because this guy is such a bozo that he’s just doing everything so badly that he’s not slick like everybody else,” she said. “I mean, all the fracking that’s been going on, the pipelines were all there before Trump got in. This has been going on, but now everybody’s awake, they’re energized, right? They’re calling their senators, they’re donating to all of these groups.”
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
