The movement is bigger than any one person...just as Bernie and his supporters have been saying all along.
As I said recently:
This is bigger than any of us, bigger than Daily Kos, bigger than Bernie himself. This resurgent revolution, imo, goes back to the 1960s and the Free Speech Movement with Mario Savio at Berkeley.
It's a political revolution, baby!
I also said this:
People claim to know, pretend to know and sometimes think they know all kinds of shit that they don't know.
Bernie can't win, won't break 30%, can't gain support among minorities. Anyone can pontificate but, as mere humans, it's easy to be mistaken.
If you presumed Clinton to be our presumptive nominee, you were wrong.
If you judged Clinton to be the more electable candidate, you were wrong.
If you thought you could declare the revolution to be non-existent, you were wrong.
If you thought you could redefine the revolution to suit yourself and sell that to the rubes, you were wrong.
If you thought you could stop it by hook or by crook, you were wrong.
If you thought that the putrid status quo was worth holding on to or that holding onto it was even possible, you were wrong.
It's a political revolution, baby!
You were wrong, kos. Just like you were wrong about Bernie not breaking 30%. Just like you were wrong about Bernie not being able to gain support among minorities.
So if you deny that there even is a movement and you can't see how Bernie is the perfect leader of the movement for this unique moment in time, then I don't see how you get to speak for the movement.
You don't have to get it. You don't have to like it. But when you hear it roaring down on you, you might want to step out of the way.
It's a political revolution, baby!
So lead, follow or get the fuck out of the way, kos.
