How does the movement continue on without Bernie?

Seeing how every day it feels like Sanders gets closer and closer to caving to the monstrous DNC, the movement needs a plan to move on when he throws himself to the wolves.

Any endorsement of HRC effectively castrates his entire movement, and undermines and belittles every single one of his volunteers, donors, and supporters. Seeing how making this poor decision will invalidate his leadership in the eyes of many people, where do we go from here?

Is there still going to be a central sense of leadership, or if he caves will there not be anybody with any moral fortitude left, worth supporting?

if you truly want to take back America from the greedy elite thugs, you must ask yourself, what would Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and George Washington do with such an oppressive and manipulative government that imposes double standards of law upon "We The People"?

Friends we have "SELECTIVE JUST-US" administered by an elite 1% and even President Jimmy Carter admits we no longer live in a democracy. We have Wall Street banksters allowed to launder billions of drug moneys (http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?684770-Are-Jeb-Bush-s-Drug-Dealer-Criminal-Contacts-For-Real-Or-A-Scam) so crooks like Clinton and Bush can afford massive election frauds (http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?705412-DNC-California-Election-Fraud-is-biggest-scam-of-2016-Is-Hillary-Clinton-proud-of-her-latest-crime) in order to gain control and economically oppress the world with wars and a Federal Reserve Bank that is owned by PRIVATE FAMILIES (Read The Creature From Jekyl Island). Seriously, how much more abuse are we going to endure? Is this the life our children deserve? If you despise Censorship and corruption what are YOU willing to do about it. Do you expect other people to fight for YOUR rights?

Whistle blowers of corruption and massive government crimes are relentlessly persecuted and punished while the government criminals they expose walk free - even getting away with war crimes and multiple murders! (See video "Collateral Murder" related to the Bradley Manning case). Our media now censors for Uncle Sam - almost as much as China! Isn't it time we say "Enough is Enough"? If the Eygptians and Libyans can do it, so can we. We are NOT helpless, only disorganized. Are you willing to fight or protest to take back our country from the greedy elite thieves?

It is not as difficult as you may think and it starts by education our fellow Americans. Send this link to everyone you know and ask your friends to do the same. Honor, dignity, and outrage will awaken the heart and soul of America - 'We The People". PRIORITY NO 1. IS EDUCATING OUR FELLOW AMERICANS NOW TO STOP HILLARY AND KEEP HER OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE BY ANY MEANS REQUIRED.

Trust not the media nor the FBI and it should be clear why. If not, read this http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?704348-Help-Expose-the-MSM-(Main-Stream-Media)-Deception-Send-this-link-to-your-friends! Bernie Sanders is our modern day Thomas Jefferson. Embrace him now because we may not get this chance again for another 20 years people. Make a stand for America and YOUR economic freedom.

Important Announcement regarding the future of this subreddit

After much deliberation, we have chosen to shut down this subreddit and redirect its efforts to /r/Political_Revolution. This subreddit and the organization that worked behind it has had a good life. It succeeded in getting many people excited about down ballot candidates all over. We were able to successfully promote multiple candidates such as Alex Law and Tim Canova while giving people the ability to support them.

The Political Revolution has potential and is functioning at a higher capacity than GRS is now. Their subreddit has grown to almost the size of this one in one month whereas this one is over 10 months old. We need movement unity and thus want to divert efforts there. This subreddit therefore will be redirecting to theirs in 72 hours.

I dedicated several thousand hours of my time in the past 6 months to GRS. I helped to build it from the meager 800 people it once had following it to the size it grew to. From all of this though I know when to call it quits. I hope you all will join me and many others in supporting the efforts of the Political Revolution. Thank you for joining with me and the rest of the GRS reddit staff in these past 10 months!

Our campaign needs help making a phone banking video for volunteers - Are you an A+ phone banker?

Good afternoon all. I hope you are well. My name is David Sparks, and I am the Democratic candidate for State Representative in Ohio District 43, and a delegate for Bernie to the convention.

Our campaign needs help from an A+ experienced phone banker. We want to make a video for our phone banking volunteers for voter persuasion, and one for GOTV.

We can record a video via skype or google hangouts.

If you are an excellent phone banker and communicator, and would be willing to volunteer your time to help us create a video to help our volunteers become better phone bankers, please PM me so we can set up a time to create said video.

Thank you for all that you do!

My first time being able to Support a candidate I believe in! If you guys could help spread the word!

Rebekah Johansen Bydlak is running for congress, and while the vote is only for the north west part of Florida, i just wanted to help spread the word, and I thought she would be a great person to post on this subreddit! Ron Paul personally endorsed her and I personally think she has some great ideas! She would be the youngest woman in history as well if she is able to secure a seat. So please if anything just pop by https://www.facebook.com/rebekah2016/ and take a look if nothing else! Thanks for taking the time to checking out my post!

I am going to join this mission. Here is my plan.

I supported Bernie since the beginning. I have made many friends and allies who worked hard for his campaign, and we would like to continue this political revolution. Here is the idea I have sketched out: https://pgc-chicago.org/

Preferably, this effort should be as "grassroots" as possible, with "hubs" based out of as many cities as possible. Please consider us your Chicago-based ally. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi there. I'm Ryan Koch and I'm a progressive running for Ohio's misguided General Assembly.

Hello everyone! My name is Ryan Koch I'm posting today to ask for your help. I'm a progressive candidate who's running for Ohio's 21st House District. I wound up in this effort because our state has been guided down an unsustainable path by the Republican caucus that redirects wealth to the top while leaving the most vulnerable members of our citizenry in the lurch. I'm a veteran, technology professional, and passionate problem solver. My policy points revolve along three basic themes: creating opportunity, sparking job growth, and fighting inequality.

I'm running this year because I think it's our best chance to change the composition of the Ohio House and so that the voters of this district have an alternative to the status quo. Below I've put information on how to reach me.

Feel free to ask me anything you'd like!

Support Thomas Mills in NC's 8th Congressional district!

Here's his website: http://www.thomasmillsnc.com

I've never met Thomas, but his brother, my neighbor and one of my closest friends is one of the most solid Progressives I know. And Thomas' platform is, likewise, solidly progressive.

I just read about Thomas Mills' campaign the other day on my neighbor's Facebook page.

I don't live in NC, and I'm too broke/busy to be able to help out much, but I thought posting about his campaign here couldn't hurt.

Guys, the revolution is NOT over. Last night, Misty Snow of UT became the first transgender candidate to win a major party primary for US Senate. She supports tuition-free college, $15/hour minimum wage, MJ legalization, CJ reform, Wall St. reform and paid maternity leave. Let's give her some love!

Here is her platform.

HERE is a link to donate to her.

This revolution is only dead IF WE QUIT NOW. I say fuck that, let's support Misty and candidates like her nationwide.
