Chris Hedges on the socialist alternative

See Chris Hedges' article on a socialist Seattle city council member urging Sanders to run as an independent. Acknowledging he won't win in so doing she argues it's about more than just this Presidential election. It's about a movement sorely needed to restore democracy, and Clinton sure as hell isn't going to do it. Neither is Trump, and the movement will take time, but without it the status quo will remain unchallenged ad infinitum. Given the amount of votes that both Trump and Sanders garnered, showing people are tired of establishment politics, the progressive side of the contingent would increase exponentially and quickly if it had an Independent Party to keep in focused and engaged. And yes, it would help immensely if Sanders spearheaded it.
