As Bernie Sanders continues to remind us, he’s still in the running for the Democratic nomination. And although he admitted on Wednesday that it “doesn’t appear” he’s going to be the nominee, he’s refusing to fade quietly into the background. He said as much during a speech to supporters in New York on Thursday evening titled “Where We Go From Here,” which in many ways echoed the one he gave via live webcam last week.
“Election days come and go, but what is much more important is that political and social revolutions continue,” he said, nearly parroting last week’s statements. “Our goal from day one has been to transform this nation, and that is the fight we are going to continue.”
He then listed a number of positions he would like to see on the Democratic Party platform, such as killing the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, banning the sale of assault weapons, and expanding background checks for gun sales — all familiar echoes of what he’s said so far on the campaign trail. He promised his supporters that he would fight for issues like these when the Democrats convene for their convention in July. For the full article click here
