It’s the day after the convention. Where does Sanders go from here?
Broadly speaking, he has the following three choices:
1. Sulk in his tent. If he’s secretly rooting for a Trump victory in the hope that it will expedite the “revolution,” that is the logical course of action. Otherwise, it will damage his reputation and cost the Democrats dearly.
2. Campaign vigorously against Trump, without saying much about Clinton. No elaboration necessary.
3. Campaign against Trump, and for his vision of the Democratic Party. Basically, this requires him to accept a Clinton presidency as a practical first step in the “revolution.” In the long run, he has to persuade the American people as a whole, not just a relative handful of left-wing activists and Clinton-haters, if the “revolution” is to occur. The polls I have seen strongly suggest that the “revolution” is not very popular in the nation as a whole, so I would recommend this approach over the other two.
