white male candidates, doesn't it? Doesn't always predict performance at the polls, however...
Maybe next 
time,
BTW, here's the coveted Bernie Bashers Golden Hammer Award trophy that you missed out on, which will be awarded to the lucky winners at this year's Award night dinner banquet:
Keep working on it though... you may still get an Award in one of the 11 other categories.
That candidate would be denied funding and access to marketing and strategy.
Why do you think that Bernie does this instead of primary as an independent?
You certainly have misrepresented what I wrote, which was point out how someone else was giving my opinion far more weight than I am. Here it is, in case you missed it the first time:
Is that clearer?
Also, you use the word "carpetbagger." I do not think it means what you think it does.
I see you have no actual response, so you go for the playground taunt.
The ignore feature is not "a sign of being a weak suck, YMMV," nor does it bounce you "off this board." It's a helpful feature for those who get very upset when certain other members post things. Clearly you do.
No, it means I haven't argued one way or another about this. I pointed out that it's ironic after 2016. Is that clearer?
But after saying....
Your demand that I weigh in on that gives one whiplash...
candidate prior to the primary is non-factual? Honey, if you want to ignore reality, sure, anyone can file paperwork. But those of us who don't ignore reality understand when a candidate is being prevented from accessing the resources that official candidates gets. You could file the paperwork - does that mean you have any kind of chance of being a viable candidate? Please.
No, it was about how the candidate was kept out of funding and connections with PACs. That was the reason. Is that clearer?
Can you specify how the "Clinton campaign considered it fair game to attack Vermont - in a way I have never seen a state attacked before in any primary."
And once again, the Whataboutism concerning Hillary whenever anyone points out an inconsistency in Senator Sanders is just amazing. And glass house cheap shots at Arkansas (so, have YOU ever stepped foot in Arkansas? Somehow I doubt that...) don't give your attempts to derail the discussion any more credibility than a seemingly endless supply of strawmen to attack...
Okay.
Hekate! 
Thanks Oasis.
....revolutionary idea and he's a pioneer on the issue, despite the fact that John Dingell SENIOR first introduced the idea of "Medicare for All" way back in 1943 (two years after Sanders was born)
And despite the fact that John Dingell Jr. is now retired, his wife Debbie Dingell is now in that seat and SHE is promoting the concept of Medicare for All. Good to see that Sanders is on board with Kennedy's and the Dingells' decades-long proposal.
so I assume they were bored and easily distracted.
heavy lifting.
No one denies he speaks up loud and often - that’s the problem. All he does is talk but he doesn’t actually do anything - and all-too-often it would be better if he just stayed quiet.
For example, if Bernie had bothered to actually fight for President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee instead of whining that the was too conservative and promising that, if elected president, he would withdraw Garland’s nomination and replace him with someone else, that would have been helpful.
Speaking of “more representatives” needing to speak up like Bernie, you’ve heard of the Congressional Black Caucus, right? While Bernie’s off somewhere “speaking out,” they’re actually doing something. So are plenty of other representatives. But y’all go ahead and keep telling us about how Bernie’s ideas are finally catching on.
Congressmen arrested for protesting over immigration outside Trump Tower
September 19, 2017
Three congressmen were among a group of protesters arrested outside Trump Tower on Tuesday, where they were participating in a demonstration in support of immigrants and protections recently ended by the Trump administration.
Democratic Reps. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois, Raul Grijalva of Arizona and Adriano Espaillat of New York were arrested on civil disobedience charges along with the speaker of the New York City Council, Melissa Mark-Viverito, and six others, according to lawmakers' offices and Robin Levine, the spokeswoman with Mark-Viverito's office.

U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Illinois) was arrested during an immigration protest at the White House on Tuesday.
Gutierrez spokesman Douglas Rivlin confirmed the congressman was arrested outside the White House Tuesday afternoon, along with about 11 other people who were sitting on the sidewalk in front of the White House as part of an immigration protest.

At least eight Democratic members of the House were among about 200 people arrested Tuesday after they blocked a main street near the Capitol during a massive rally seeking to push Republicans to hold a vote on a stalled immigration reform bill.
Police would not identify those arrested. Representatives of the social policy organization Center for Community Change and The Associated Press witnessed the arrests of Reps. John Lewis, D-Ga.; Luis Gutiérrez, D-Ill.; Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz.; Keith Ellison, D-Minn.; Joseph Crowley and Charles Rangel, both D-N.Y.; Al Green, D-Texas; and Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill.,

Five Congress members were arrested and led away from the Sudanese Embassy in plastic handcuffs Friday in protest of the Sudanese government's role in atrocities in the Darfur region.
"The slaughter of the people of Darfur must end," Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif., a Holocaust survivor who founded the Congressional Human Rights Caucus, said from the embassy steps before his arrest.
Four other Democratic Congress members — James McGovern and John Olver of Massachusetts, Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas and Jim Moran of Virginia — were among 11 protesters arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly, a misdemeanor subject to a fine.

...did he feel compelled to JOIN REPUBS in running down Merrick Garland at a crucial time? WHY?
Of course he didn't lead the GOP or anything of the sort. But he certainly made it easier for them to stall until the election was over and Hillary lost, then stall until Obama was gone and then get their own man into the SCOTUS so the SCOTUS now has a historic rightward tilt.
I fail to understand Bernie's motives. 
But there was a helluvalotta swooning over Obama. Nice projection, Eff!
old threads, especially the one with pics of him in the ocean. The cowboy hat. The dark sunglasses. Etc.
but wasn't REALLY against it... keep spinning
It will come to me in the morning.

they lose.
Aloha, lapucelle 
Personally, I'm still making phone calls for Democratic candidates in my state primary, and I've already started canvassing at train stations in my purple district for Democratic candidates running unopposed in the GE .
Options for engagement include "posing" or "doing". I choose to do. When I vote, I find it more useful to focus broadly on what a candidate has actually done to advance Democratic party core values rather than on what he/she merely talks about potentially doing.
Those bewildered by vexing hypotheticals would better serve the clarity of their own thinking by avoiding the broad dismissals based on unwarranted assumptions that they themselves purport to bemoan.
sentiments.
Of course any criticism of Sanders is "bashing" and pointing out the actual achievements of Democrats is "divisive."
Well, as you say, "I'm out."
As I said, Not mad at him. I’m just tired of people who obviously don’t know jack squat about the civil rights movement and therefore think that Bernie Sanders’ participation was something unusual or special, trying to tell me that he deserves some kind of lifetime achievement award because he marched and sat in a few times 55 years ago.
Yes, Bernie did more 55 years ago than many white people did. But he did far less than many others. Compared to many white people who worked in the movement during that time, Bernie’s participation was very limited, minimal and temporary and came with very little risk. That’s not a criticism - it’s good that he participated - but that’s just a fact. And in my experience, most white liberals who participated during that time - including those who worked harder, longer and at considerably greater risk to their education, careers, status, relationships, safety and lives than Bernie did and stayed in the fight long after Bernie moved on to other things - would never even think of milking their efforts the way Bernie supporters milk his brief time in the movement.
It's a thing.

In your zeal to trash Sanders you're missing the reasons why so many across the country took part: Vietnam, pollution, transforming politics, "simple living" in homes in the woods rather than cramped apartments in noisy cities, etc.
'Hmmm,' nothing, but at least you gave it the ol' college try.
in spite of you working overtime to attempt to diminish it.
Tossing out "Republican governor" is like Sean Hannity frothing about record snowfall in an attempt to deny climate change.
I've only been there for skiing and leaf-peeping, but it seems like a great place to live. Especially for someone born and raised in the city looking to "get back to the land" as many did in the '60s and '70s. Some people like quiet. Woods. Rural. Henry David Thoreau.
It's curious why a certain segment of DUers can't seem to grasp that. And that a person can speak out from anywhere.
Or you just mad that Bernie and racist-outer Shaun King have paired up to fight the good fight?
I need some more room to with you
...of Blacks in our cities.
OH, but he voted against the war in Iraq yet voted for every single bill that funded that war.
I am so planning to steal it.
Now you are having a sad.
Glenn Beck? You bring up Glen Beck
back in the early Teabagger days?
I would have no clue, never watched the ass. Did you?
Surely you remember. I imagine you even participated in such threads but don't care enough to dig up any. "We see you." OK, now what?
It's adorable that you're defending your lil' buddy George, but he was wrong and I corrected him. Tis George who missed. And you, for that matter.
If what happened recently happens again in November I am going to get real angry and loud, REAL angry and REAL loud.
All I'm trying to say is that it seems that you and I have very different ideas about what qualifies as being "classy" and "appealing".
I wonder if they'd've'd the gall back then to shit on Obama having done it. Or if Hillary did it during her campaigns (I know at least once she was out in the rain and shaking hands.).
I wonder why that is.
But like I said, I choose to see them again.
my tolerance is lower.
Great come back.
You are a hoot. He had a stage built with a sound system and podium with this plaque on the front, barricade's assembled in less than an hour after his theater was to full to handle the crowd. Wow. I knew he was good, yet that was awesome!!! Then Obama walked on water to the stage.
LOL...I love my President...to be clear I mean Obama...Love him. Best President ever, yet that never happened.
Now if only someone in a position of power, like, say, a U.S. senator, would come up with a plan to do something about it, that would be awesome!
...addressed to you about your OPs or other posts?
Do you have anything other than tweets to document any of this?
Thanks in advance!
Or not
You will receive the honor of an exclusive invitation to this year's "Bernie Basher" Golden Hammer Awards dinner, as a distinguished guest and esteemed judge for this coveted prize that will be handed out on Award night:
And, just for your contributions to the "good fight," you will also receive an all new, complimentary pair of "Bernie All Star" edition Chuck Taylors... because "if the shoe fits, wear it"... on the other hand, the sneaks should help with this, "if the foo's shit, bear it".
love it.

According to Mountain Grammie above post...the man has stuck to principles for 60 long years and has never wavered nor has she. Hm, he solidified all he believes in then and today at 16 years old?
and that's why we love him.. he never had to change or evolve on civil rights, gay rights, women's rights or human rights and neither have I, so I'm never bored or distracted by someone who has held most of the same beliefs as me as long as he's been a public figure. He never once said for political gain "marriage is between a man and a woman." He never, for political gain, demanded secrecy and silence from gays in the military.
Did you have to 'evolve' on any of the rights listed above? Many Democrats have you know.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210687499#post9
Say what. 16 and never waivered from thier ideals for 60 frigging years???? WHAT! That is terrifying.
I watched him on Bill Maher this week and the thing that gets me is that he will ALWAYS be that person who speaks Truth to Power and he never wavers on his message for the 99%
As someone said upthread, you won't see HIM standing with his finger up to see which way the wind is blowing...! I'm proud to say we have a progressive Dem in my district who is really aligned with the whole movement, can't wait to vote for her Tuesday!!!
(...I'm wondering why so many people on a Democratic board are being so snarky about him? Kinda rude IMO, they really had no need to try and hijack the OP by being that way...whatever. Guess it's just the usual suspects who like to shit on others anyway)
Kinda like his support in the black community in general. And yes, I am fully aware this event was with BLM leaders which makes it even more obvious to me.
I'll I'm trying to say is that if his "appeal" was as universal as his loudest followers would have us believe, then we should expect that the photos of these "rally" events would show a greater mix of individuals that better represent the area and our nation.
But what do I know?
If someone is going to go off on some Secret Squirrel google mission and claim the photo and tweet are fake, they should at least get the facts straight. And also learn the difference between Anaheim California and Los Angeles California.
The church rally took place in the morning in a church.
The “theater” rally took place in Los Angeles at The Million Dollar Theater. Notice the Subway across the street from The Million Dollar Theater.
Plus, I got a free lunch! Looking forward to free college (so I can finish that pesky masters degree), and free medical care! Bernie will really stick it to those “millionayahs and billionayahs,” boy, will they be sorry. Fox News will give him a pass, because he’s so pure, even Trump likes him! Paradise is just a Bernie away, folks! If you can’t see it, you’re blind! Who needs Democrats, anyway? ¡BERNIE!

Primaries? Who is discussing primaries. What he says and does in 2018 is not about the primaries and we are all liberals here.
Seems to me that you are talking about DUers here. Are you really calling those that disagree with Bernie, trolls?
So. If I understand your post. Anyone that disagrees with Bernie is a troll TRYING to create discord and pumping up Trump. You also claim what he is quoted as saying in 2018 is us refighting a 2016 primary? What? Oh wait, you accuse us of being Russian as well.
Here is a fact. I am an American citizen. I am a Democrat who votes solely for Democrats across the board. I have never wavered with my vote or sat out an election because of a candidate not being 100% of what I wished them to be.
“Mildred, hold my glasses, I have to get in there and kick some ass!”
(Meanwhile, the republicans are gathered in the coat room, picking all the pockets)
Same old, same old.
He seemed very interested in our elections two years ago. Now he appears to have forgotten about them.
Clearly, it went over the heads of some. And to that point, I was going to also add "how sad", but... now that I think about it, in a way, the fact that some don't get it (or that some choose to pretend they don't get it) helps to make your post even BETTER and more illustrative.
if he had run as an Independent in 2016.
for only one thing. HRC lost for a myriad of reasons, voter suppression, outside foreign interference in OUR NATIONAL election being the most glaring and obvious.
I wish he had run as an Independent, a lot of votes along with those of other 3rd Party candidates would have gone into our/HRC's win column. We probably would have an experienced competent POTUS now instead of this laughing stock BS artist ruining ameriKKKa along with the GOP, grand old party my ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GORP is more like it. I know, I know, The primaries are dead and gone yet the repercussions are evident, I won't even engage nor comment on our mistakes in allowing minor leaders of a very minor faction in our Party to use our machinery and Party.
who got 45% of Democratic primary votes?
btw, this is nonsensical, "I wish he had run as an Independent, a lot of votes along with those of other 3rd Party candidates would have gone into our/HRC's win column."
If Bernie had run as an Independent, HRC would have gotten a lot more votes? 
just like mine is mine. have a good one
always will!
"Bernie was arrested in 1963!"
"And then he moved to Vermont a couple of years later"
"Why are you bringing up something he did in the 1960s?"
I can't believe that arrest is even a major talking point. It's nice that he did the protest, but only people who really don't understand the movement would think that what Bernie did was all that unusual among liberal white students during that time.
