The candidacy of Bernie Sanders has already won by “enlarging America’s political conversation and possibilities,” by beating back elite establishment corporate centrism and by empowering the American progressive movement to learn that they have a voice. It is high time for Bernie Sanders’ supporters that they rise up for all of America and keep rising up every now and then for the sake both present and future America. If Bernie Sanders is not the Democratic nominee for president, let’s make future ballot boxes feel the political revolution that Bernie Sanders began. One way to do that is to expand the revolutionary political network under the guidance of the visionary leadership such as that of Bernie Sanders.
Bernie Sanders has already begun to expand the revolutionary
political network by helping upstart progressive congressional candidates and
state legislators, lending his fundraising prowess and national fame to boost
their bids in his continued efforts to revitalize the party with politically
progressive candidates. Sanders's candidacy has given them a prominent national
messenger. His supports to progressive congressional candidates and state
legislators can help build infrastructure for progressives running at every
level.
Sanders’ campaign is about “not me, us.” His candidacy is
not only about winning this November general election or defeating persons like
Trump, it is also about electing candidates who will fight fearlessly to defeat
everything that people like Trump represents and uphold people’s interest even
when it means going against billionaire class.
"Bernie believes that the path toward bold change
requires leaders to take back control of state capitols around the country and
ensure fair redistricting in 2020," his campaign manager Jeff Weaver said
in a statement Tuesday,
24 May 2016.
For candidates who have received Sanders’ endorsement, it's
changed the trajectory of their campaign almost overnight. It helped them
expand their campaign and made them able to compete against very, very big
money interests. Due to Sanders's rise, issues all these progressive candidates
have long been talking, issues that matter to the everyday person like a
minimum wage increase and Wall Street reform will now stay in the forefront.
Those issues haven’t become popular all of sudden. They have been there all
these times. Now, because of Bernie, people are starting to make connection
between those issues and candidates.

"He's bringing this national attention to down-ballot
races and the importance of state legislative races. He's saying that it isn't
just about the presidency," Taylor said.
It is high time for Bernie Sanders’ supporters that they help
build the revolutionary political infrastructure by supporting upstart
progressive congressional candidates and state legislators.
