Not really. He continually pointed out the need for a "political revolution" to defy the status quo. This is one of the reasons why you hate him, remember?

How would that "political revolution" be started?

By "millions of Americans" voting for him and other candidates seeking to dismantle a rigged political and economic system. Sanders was also very clear that ordinary people needed to actively participate in the political process by pressuring elected officials to crack down on Wall Street, implement populist economic policies, etc.

Bernie has been pretty much a one man band. The "revolution" began and ended with him. Hillary's amendment to her convention platform really didn't include that many provisions for him and his ideas.

Sanders repeatedly stressed that his "revolution"--which was actually a reformist movement--depended upon mass participation from ordinary people.

It would actually help his revolution to have elected officials on his team.

Yes, so would have winning the nomination, running a better campaign, or sounding less like a robot.

really? Cause Hills gonna back down on TPP? That's Bernie's biggest thing.

She also claims to support free public college tuition for households earning less than $125,000/yr.

But she's going to back out of this stuff once elected/coronated.

I never knew we agreed this much.

And TPP, didn't they excise that from the platform?

He named only a few, as I'm sure you know. Just get to an actual point rather than attempting to defile the Socratic method with your disingenuous questions. I've got to be somewhere in 20 minutes.

I already made my point.

Bernie campaigned that he was the one to fix the problems in this country and that no one else, not even Hillary, could do it.

That isn't much different than Trump saying he alone could do it.

It's completely different. Again, you don't seem to understand - or want to understand - his point.

Even then Bernie has supported dictators before so no matter what it was a dumb tweet. I guess they were ok though.

I think she will get behind the college thing.

wasn't uncle bernie still stumping for $$$ up until 2-3 days b4 he endorsed hillary?

i remember back when it was first plainly obvious that hillary was gonna win bernie pulled some shit where he wanted his supporters to come up with 50mil in ~1-3 days or something, and he ended up getting ~55mil. there were people on reddit "bragging" about how their kids were gonna be a little hungry this month because they cut into food $$$ to make sure they got $300 to bernie in time for his arbitrary deadline on the ~50mil. why, if i were a cynical sort i might say....

(tbh i liked bernie when he was simply "america's senator" on the brunch with bernie segment on fridays on the thom hartmann show all riled up about stuff like "THE CORPORATIONS WANNA OWN YOUR GENES!" --- running for president = gonna bring out the worst of anybody who does it)
