We need Howard Dean to return and help with training and orgnizing.
He worked on not only winning votes and boosting turnout but securing them by making sure we had Democratic Secretaries of State in crucial states.and that the voting process was closely observed.
He left no stone unturned.It seems he was marginalized.He could help Bernie et al with rebuilding the Party.

A Democratic Party " rebuilt " by Bernie Sanders and Howard Dean will bear a remarkable resemblance to the one that Hillary and Bill Clinton made - based on " identity politics " and being " stronger together " with the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon, corrupt unions, and " greed is good " Wall St. The socialist IDEA is anathema in the USA - the ruling class has banned it. They would give it less status than astrology - which at least has daily column space in major newspapers.
For " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders- betrayed by the Hillary Democrats in the DNC - there will be no " political revolution " within the Democratic Party.It is the same old corrupt ruling class controlled party. There is a dissonance between these public cries for more social justice and less inequality at home and their Neo-McCarthyism with its belligerence toward Vladimir Putin and post-communist Russia . The " fake news " and the Orwellian BIG LIE : Putin sabotaged the 2016 presidential election making it ( HOW ? ) possible for Republican Donald Trump to defeat Hawk Hillary Clinton. I did not know that Putin was influential and " operative " in those critical Rust Belt states- where Hillary Clinton was hardly even popular.Yet I doubt if capitalist Putin is a champion of the American working class- anymore than billionaire Donald Trump-who prefers to start World War III with China .
The American working class -with no interest in our disastrous and invariably LOSING imperialist wars- has been betrayed by both the Democratic and Republican parties.
Forget about reforming the Democratic Party-now a neo-con war party. It is far better at corrupting the would be reformers-like Bernie Sanders.What would Eugene Debs think of any Hillary supporter ?
