By Sandra Hajda, Inquisitr

(July 30, 2016 08:00 a.m.) — Many people have been asking the same question recently, “what is next for Bernie Sanders’ progressive revolution?”

There are a few different things going on, and there has been some disagreement in the Bernie Sanders community about how to proceed. However, one thing that is certain is that Sanders supporters remain united in their determination to fight the establishment and build a better America.

Watch Cornel West Blast Bill Maher for Suggesting That Sanders Supporters Back Clinton
By Carly Hoilman, The Blaze

(July 30, 2016 7:28 a.m.) — Dr. Cornel West joined the “Real Time With Bill Maher” panel Friday night to reflect on the Democratic National Convention that ended the night before. During the panel discussion, Clinton supporter Bill Maher suggested that it’s time for Bernie Sanders supporters to throw in the towel and get behind the newly appointed party nominee.

Guest Alex Wagner claimed that the rowdy anti-Clinton protesters at the DNC were hardly representative of the “vast majority” of Sanders supporters, who “understand the stakes” and are willing to back Clinton.

#Demexit Finally Happening As Livid Progressives Begin Mass Exodus After Clinton’s Nomination
By Mohit Priyadarshi, Inquisitr

(July 29, 2016 8:00 a.m.) — Livid at Hillary Clinton’s coronation as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, Wikileaks, Bernie Sanders’ supporters — comprising mostly of progressives — are putting into action their plans to leave the party once and for all.

Over the course of the last two weeks, a large section of Democratic voters have been extremely vocal about the party’s seeming abandonment of progressive values, threatening to de-register from the party if Clinton — who is essentially viewed as dishonest, untrustworthy and warmongering by these voters — was anointed the eventual nominee. And now that Clinton’s nomination is officially wrapped up, establishment Democrats are waking up to the fact that these threats were not just part of some willy-nilly theatrics cooked up by Republicans, but very much a real ultimatum that had been issued by disaffected voters within their own ranks.

(July 28, 2016 4:48 a.m.) — As one of Wednesday’s keynote speakers at the Democratic National Convention, President Barack Obama gave Hillary Clinton a mighty endorsement. But that doesn’t mean he let Bernie Sanders’ movement slip out of the spotlight. As the camera caught a glimpse of Sanders reacting to Obama’s “Feel the Bern” comment, the Vermont senator’s humbled pride shone brightly.

Refusing to react too enthusiastically, Sanders looked as though he was trying his absolute hardest to suppress a huge smile. Though the democratic socialist may not be thrilled about losing out on the party’s nomination, he’s certainly proud of how far his supporters have helped his movement come.

(July 27, 2016 2:31 p.m.) — PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Angry and disaffected Bernie Sanders’ backers have a new rallying cry: “Jill not Hill.”

That’s Green Party candidate Jill Stein, whose liberal agenda of tuition-free college, $15-per-hour minimum wage and a renewable energy economy by 2030 offers a home to Sanders’ supporters disillusioned by the two-party political system and unwilling to back Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Dr. Jill Stein Is The New Bernie Sanders

Dr. Jill Stein Is The New Bernie Sanders
By H.A. Goodman, Huffington Post

(July 26, 2016 3:01 p.m.) — Within his speech pushing for unity with Clinton, Bernie Sanders stated “I look forward to your votes during the roll call on Tuesday night.” Therefore, there’s perhaps a chance that he could still become Democratic nominee, although the WikiLeaks DNC emails have shown that the primary was rigged in favor of Clinton. Thus, Bernie Sanders supporters, and people who feel that they’ve experienced a roller coaster of emotions have another option; a candidate who wasn’t at risk of criminal indictments.

Her name is Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party, and she’s not only a remarkable woman, Stein offers hope to millions of people who feel cheated by the system. I explain in this YouTube segment why Bernie Sanders might truly want you to vote for Dr. Stein in 2016.

If Russian Intelligence Did Hack the DNC, the NSA Would Know, Snowden Says
By Robert Mackey, The Intercept

(July 26, 2016, 12:43 p.m.) — AS MY COLLEAGUE Glenn Greenwald told WNYC on Monday, while there may never be conclusive evidence that the Democratic National Committee was hacked by Russian intelligence operatives to extract the trove of embarrassing emails published by WikiLeaks, it would hardly be shocking if that was what happened.

“Governments do spy on each other and do try to influence events in other countries,” Glenn noted. “Certainly the U.S. government has a very long and successful history of doing exactly that.”

Bernie Sanders Has Lost Control of His Political Revolution
By Sam Frizell | Charlotte Alter, Time

(July 26, 2016 1:02 a.m. ET) — It was supposed to be the night the Democratic Party finally exorcised its demons. Instead, on a sultry, hot day in Philadelphia, the long-simmering disillusionment of Bernie Sanders supporters erupted into anger. And not even the Senator himself could calm them.

A day of protests, booing and open dissent on Monday at the Democratic convention threatened to derail the party’s moment in the spotlight, exposing the fault lines that have divided the Democrats throughout the contentious primary between Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Inside the DNC convention hall, Sanders’ delegates shouted “Bernie! Bernie!” booed Clinton surrogates and even briefly broke into the “Lock Her Up!” chant favored by Donald Trump supporters.

(July 25, 2016 6:01 a.m.) — PHILADELPHIA — The Convention-eve resignation of Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz Sunday evening emphasized that this week’s party conclave in Philadelphia may not be the seamless coronation that most Democratic operatives pined for.

Embarrassing emails showed that party leaders had conspired to short-circuit the maverick campaign of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. That led Schultz to announce, within just hours of the news breaking, that she would step down at week’s end, after more than a decade as Democratic Party chair.
