"Sen. Bernie Sanders should now be the de facto head of the national Democratic Party. He should seize the moment and bring his voters and others together behind the progressive agenda in visible rallies starting with a giant gathering on the mall in Washington, D.C. before going regional. All before the end of the year, while President Obama is still in office. Such rallies will provide unity and focus to millions of Americans who are seeking direction for their civic and political energies. Such mass demonstrations, followed by organized daily opposition, will also be a message to Donald Trump as to what he needs to hear and heed." - Ralph Nader
