and I am hopeful that if Bernie doesn't make it he will walk away and/or help us form a third party that is viable (some sort of collaboration with Greens).

I feel very sad about this because I have voted for every democratic nominee for president since 1992. But all evidence indicates the party has either lost it's way or has ruthlessly determined that poverty is not where it's at anymore. I feel that the working class has been abandoned. As the gap in income widens and our environment is becoming more tenuous every day we will have to act boldly to enact change. That is not going to happen in the current democratic party with the person it is obviously selecting to represent it.
