I'll just say that Kyle on Secular Talk nailed this perfectly.
Whatever happens in the last few states, no matter who gets the nomination and wins in the general election, supporters of the socialist and social democratic movements, supporters of the progressive, workers rights movements and ultimately the Sanders campaign should feel very proud of how far we have come in the last year.
Bernie Sanders has inspired not only the world's most powerful nation, but also many other countries around the world; each with millions of supporters of the left-wing causes that bring people like you and me together.
Bernie Sanders went from a little known Vermont senator, to a major Presidential candidate that has not only won a plethora of states, but has nearly tied and surpassed Hillary Clinton many times, in terms of delegates and opinion polling. What's even more impressive, is that he did this while taking on the establishment, running on a platform that although is mainstream liberal by international standards, is "far-left and hardline socialist" by American standards. He did this as by far the most secular and least religious politician in recent times, and he got this far, off 100% donations by working men and women. That is amazing.
So even if Hillary gets the nomination, we should all be proud of the political revolution we have started, and even after Bernie is no longer running, we need to remember to stand by our principles, and fight for what is right, until we get it.
The war isn't over. It's just beginning!

Reasons to dislike Berno 1. You dislike helping others 2. You think socialism is bad, but still drive on public roads 3. You don't have a basic understanding that he's a socio-capitalist, as in he's not taking over means of production. 4. You think he'll die in office, despite many people living into their 90s nowadays 5. You still buy into red scare propaganda (not your fault, your parents shouldn't have been idiots and fed you it)

Very true, hopefully you'll get another Sanders, though that's very likely.

He looks so weak and tiny , he does not do our nation justice [spoiler]Trump for Pres[/spoiler]

The replies to my previous post just prove my point. You guys are horribly uneducated when it comes to economic systems. The fact that you think the provision of public goods through taxation is Socialist just reinforces my belief in the terrible economic education system in the US and around the world. No wonder you people think Bernie's ideas are good. Let me lay it out for you: Capitalism is private ownership and control of the means of production and the distribution of goods. Socialism is State ownership and control of the means of production and distribution of goods. Communism is common ownership and control of the means of production and distribution of goods. Those are the definitions. Period. The provision of public goods through taxation is not Socialism if the means of production are still owned and controlled by private individuals and not the government.

The no name socialist senator Jew from Vermont almost toppled a political and Wall Street giant, Hillary Clinton. I think that's a personal win to anyone.

I would like to keep the money I work for, thank you. If you don't work you don't eat people need to get a -blam!-ing job instead of freeloading.
