13. We must remember that LOSER doesn't get to make demands. It's the WINNER who guides the platform...

Bernie was looking for assurances that progressives have due influence in the Party. In fact, I will go further--these last few weeks it was already over and Bernie was looking for that assurance.

We must remember that LOSER doesn't get to make demands. His ideas were rejected. Simple as that. It's the WINNER who guides the platform... and as a "courtesy" the winner can make a conciliatory gesture to the loser... but that's it. The losing candidate needs to keep things in perspective. His "revolution" never materialized and he's in a position of weakness at this point.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
