With the recent announcement that Elizabeth Warren will run for re-election as Senator from Massachusetts (see my post Warren to Run for Re-election, Will Continue to Sell Out Progressives), it has suddenly become crystal clear what Bernie Sanders needs to do.

Sanders needs to join the national Green Party to help us defeat Elizabeth Warren’s run for re-election. Joshua Ford will run for Senator on the Green-Rainbow ticket in Massachusetts against Elizabeth Warren on the Democratic ticket. Since name recognition is the name of the game, Bernie Sanders could give a huge boost to Joshua Ford by Bernie becoming a member of the Green Party and endorsing Joshua Ford for Senator.

I know that as a man of principle, Bernie had to support Hillary Clinton for President after he lost the Democratic nomination. It was what he had promised to do from early on in his run against her. There is no hope of Bernie Sanders getting the Democratic Party to listen to him. After what he tried to do for the party despite what they did to him, they are already fighting his message again.

The Green Party has struggled for recognition, and he could have made a great impact on that issue had he switched parties after he lost the nomination. The Green Party was begging him to do it, but his principles, as mentioned above, stood in the way. He has now kept the promise he made, and is free now to make the switch and lead the country forward.

The Democratic Party did not believe Bernie Sanders would be a threat, but they were rudely awakened. They played every trick in the book, and they managed to quell him this time. They didn’t believe those of us who said we would never vote for Hillary, but now I think if we make a similar threat with Elizabeth Warren, a few might believe it is not an idlle threat this time. If Bernie switched parties and helped defeat Elizabeth Warren, there would be no denying the message.

That would be a message sent that would either wake up the Democratic Party or finally destroy it, and let a new party rise to take its place. This is Bernie’s last chance, but it is a great one, if he has the courage to take up the challenge.
