Why Sanders keeps running

This message to supporters from the Sanders' campaign explains.

" . . . . We are running a historic campaign which is transforming AmericaAny victories and any votes we receive . . .  are a public declaration of support for the values we share. 

"Our path to the nomination was never narrower than the day I announced my candidacy. I will not stop fighting for an America where no one who works 40 hours a week lives in poverty, where health care is a right for all Americans, where kids of all backgrounds can go to college without crushing debt, where there is no bank too big to fail, no banker too powerful to jail, and we've reclaimed our democracy from the billionaire class. . . ."

At this point, he knows he cannot win.   But winning the presidency was not his primary motive or expectation.  He is galvanizing a grassroots movement to change America and return power to the people.   And in that he has been wildly successful -- if we can keep it going by electing progressives at all levels of government, local, state, and national.
