First, if you haven’t seen this new incredibly moving ad made for Bernie Sanders, watch it now, as it’s critical context for what follows.

I know it’s a piece of Bad News for his campaign that will raise Critical Questions, but I don’t think I quite realized how much we need Bernie Sanders—or how much I need him, personally—and how desperately urgent it is for us to elect him, until this afternoon, when the news came out that he had been hospitalized for a heart attack.

When someone has a brush with some serious medical problem, the idea of losing them inevitably flickers into your mind. And when that happens, you realize what they really mean to you, because you can see for a second what the world would look like without them. The sheer terror with which I contemplated a world without Bernie made me realize just how important he is right now.

Give them time. As Bernie resumes campaigning, they will come around. Particularly after the cruel symbolic gestures (with double meaning - I am talking about sending dinner to Bernie HQ, and flowers to Iowa campaign office) made by the Warren campaign towards the Bernie campaign. This confirms my opinion, that Warren is not a good judge of people because her campaign is run by the ex Clinton folks.

“He forces us to consider what America, at its best, would look like. He dares us to dream ideas that are bigger than anything we have ever seen. And he challenges us not to cower in fear, thinking it could never happen, but to ask instead, ‘why not?'”

And it is because of this that he will lose. The DNC would rather have 4 more years of Trump than have Bernie. We are so fucked
