Time to Transform Bernies’s Campaign Into a Permanent Organization (Yeah! Fool-aid!)
The Huffington Post's Huffpost Politics ^ | March 25, 2016 | Miles Mogulescu, Entertainment attorney, producer, writer and political activist

The biggest question for Bernie Sanders and his supporters is whether they'll transform his presidential campaign into a permanent organization that can carry his political revolution forward in the long-term; or whether, like Occupy Wall Street, it will quickly disappear.

If Bernie pulls off a triple bank shot, receives the Democratic nomination, and is elected president, such an organization will be needed to help him accomplish his ambitious goals. If a corporate centrist Democrat like Hillary Clinton becomes president, a mass national social democratic/socialist/liberal organization is needed to prevent her from moving to the right and to build a base for real progressive change. If a right-wing populist like Donald Trump becomes president, such an organization is needed even more to mobilize mass resistance to his potentially divisive and racist policies.

It's not just Mitch McConnell who needs to look out his window to see 1,000,000 mobilized citizens. If Hillary wins the presidency, she also needs to see the same, supporting her if she does the right thing and protesting her if she backslides into corporate centrism or initiates regime change wars. And if Donald Trump wins (don't kid yourself Democrats; it's possible Trump could defeat Clinton) we'll certainly need to be mobilizing, in the streets and elsewhere. In the meantime, we need to elect more candidates with Sanders-type politics at every level of government from city hall, to state-wide office, to the House and Senate....

They could call it, “Communist Lives Matter” or “The Free Shit Army”.

I think that’s already been done. It’s called the Communist Party of the USA

The "party" already exists; it's called the COMMUNIST PARTY!

When will these delusional Americans wake up to reality? I am astonished and utterly amazed and ashamed that so many American citizens are siding with, supporting and voting for an out and out Communist. How far America has fallen within my lifetime. Tagline

I have a name for it: the Vanguard of the Proletariat.

In the photo at the link, Sanders is standing with what I believe are members of the Communications Workers of America. The red clenched fist on their sign is a nice touch.

Why would you post crap from the HP? It shows just how idiotic and clueless the media is and why it needs to go.

Those damn dim’s are always into their 1,000,000 this and 1,000,000 that. All the bass tears in the world won’t save either one off them.

Of course what the article is really saying is that a mass national social democratic/socialist/liberal organization is needed.
