Bernie lays out what he sees as his very dialectical endgame.
Sanders wants to reshape the Democratic Party as a people-funded, progressive, grassroots party.

As he explained last month:
"There are two different worlds. So the question is: What happens when that 18,000 marches into that room... ? Will they be welcomed? Will the door be open?
