there are thousands of others too.

and I will definitely chip in to do what I can.

if your candidate goes nowhere, is lost to scandel or M$M scorching, or...!

You will be energized by the homespun electoral process. It is invigorating...no matter the outcome.

I wish you the best of luck.

Oh, and BTW, I listened to Bernie on an interview about the 'big govenmint' postal service and he -swear to GOD- knew the name of EVERY postal head in every small town in his state. Now granted it's a small state. But still...he KNEW them.

So, YES, I was impressed by his down-to-earth passion about things.

or lift a finger for her.

She's a shitty campaigner so I still have a slim hope she'll screw her run up in the primary.

She's a centrist politician in a party that has moved steadily to the right and she's not more opportunistic than principled.

No more third way.

Other than her being for endless wars, pro-TPP, pro- Monsanto, and not all that enthused about legalizing marijuana.

If Bernie runs, I'll work for him. I won't be working for any campaign by HRC. She'll have to depend on others for that.

Time to make some phone calls.

She's just playing for votes so she can repay those she's beholden to.

What little money I have will go to Bernie

TMI

Literal vs allegorical.

Run Bernie Run!

my nook. (Replying to find the link later.)

Now is an excellent time to make a contribution -- it will encourage him to move forward and get into the race.

Thanks for the link.

He was all over the media this weekend asking for support, and said he is close to making a decision.

I need to put some people on ignore. I'm paying way too much attention to the ones who insist on insulting me and the only way that is going to stop is if I put more people on ignore.

you, you only suffer.

I always advocate people use ignore if only for a period if time.

I have 6 on ignore and it works.

Hopefully, he will announce that he will run
by the end of the month.

the hillary people have been out there long before she announced. i didn't the same for obama before he announced.

spread his quotes on the internet, etc. Sorry, but I don't actually campaign for people who aren't running. Will a "Bernie Sanders for President" bumper sticker do?

just from that is what gets them to decide whether they will get into the race .

with a lot of Americans. What we really need in the US is a major paradigm shift. I think some Hillary/Bernie debates would be quite interesting.

I also like Elizabeth Warren, but she seems hesitant to run.

I like them both, but Bernie Sanders is most likely to run. I hope he runs as a Democrat so that he can participate in the Democratic debates.

it will be as a Democrat.

for the warmongering corporate shill that she is. It would be a beautiful thing.

Same with Elizabeth.

Let's send Hillary a message. She looks like she'll win but let's give her a run for her incredible amount of money.

Let's all do it, and change the script!

-Your name is appropriate for the occasion.

that stinking show with the pig Wallace. Moron teabagger viewers of Fox will never care about Bernie. What a waste of his time.

If you exclude audiences, you exclude potential votes.

They hate anyone except republicans and the viewers are braindead having been pumped full of GOP propaganda and hatred for all progressives.

and kind of "in your face". Bernie has a backbone and won't let his message be controlled by the likes of Fox.

and he scolded Wallace no less than three times for trying to steer his answers, an opportunity to be heard by a non scripted interview, like the other candidates will by sycophant pitchers .

I also hope you will support the Democratic nominee in the general election if it's not Bernie.

But I still wish Barbara Lee would run on it because I want to vote for the first woman president, too.

If she would run, her positions would be very similar to Bernie's, no doubt.

Nice sign.

I haven't heard back from her.

I'm taking her request for the ambassadorship to Cuba as a hint she may run in the future, but needs more of an International profile.

Not sure where she'd get the boatloads of cash one would need for a Presidential election, though.

I could see that working, different people might relate to each one. I'd think Bernie would be on the top of that ticket, not sure though and I wouldn't care too much either way.

I also wrote Bernie with this idea.

Should have paid more attention to your exact words, missed the "on it" re Lee running. Let us know if you hear anything on this.

Bernie says everything I want to hear!!!

but then i'd love to put Angela Davis on the supreme court, too. if we're lucky she'd worry out the tenure of a few lump of lard bench warmers, too.

Both my nephews have already started to work on his campaign. Both are war vets and disillusioned with politics but Bernie has them riled up. I think Bernie has way more appeal than he's given credit for. My nephews are not democrats but like one of them said the GOP offers nothing to the worker.

Only figuratively speaking, of course.

He's an Independent.... No party backing.... He's already lost before he runs....He becomes Nader.

I doubt he will have party backing as a last minute switch up. Yes, he has caucused with the Democrats and he is a gift to the Progressive movement....He is a star in my eyes. That said, the " Game of Thrones " scenario in the Party will not embrace him.

A message TPTB had best listen to.

his message is a good message but I doubt that it is the only message that can win in 2016.

At this point in time I don't care what he runs as, he is more of a Democrat than most of the so called democrats.

Not much; I don't have much, but I sent him what I had. I stand ready to work my ass off for him when/if he declares. I'm hopeful.

I know good people like you just by your words on the site.

That really means a lot. I plan to put my heart into it.

I haven't been truly excited about a political race enough to volunteer, since I did voter registration etc. for Obama the first time around.

Now I'm retired, so I'd have even more time & will give it happily, if Bernie runs.

Run Bernie Run!!

This man has the message I want to hear. Run Bernie Run

Bernie will fight for the people and the planet. He's our democrat's Democrat.

they only get to write the whole script if we let them. There is the potential for a game change with Bernie (or Elizabeth if she ran). Let's do it!

... this is likely our last chance to right our Ship of State. I believe in what Bernie Sanders stands for. I believe in his ability to not sellout. I believe he WILL lead this nation into a brighter and better future.

Tried and true, the real thing. Nobody owns him, and he is brilliant and compassionate. I can't say enough good things about him either..

When Bernie was mayor... (that was a fun time at UVM)

I can't think of a lot of candidates for whom I'd want to drop what I'm doing and work on their campaign, but Bernie would probably be #1.

I hope he realizes he is really our last, best hope (I believe Warren, for now), not only for this country, but the planet.
Too much real suffering to play games.

I don't think he'll run but it is a good way to influence other candidates or public opinion. Trouble with Bernie is very large amorphous goals.

Your OP and the thread inspired me to send a little money to Bernie to encourage him. He would make a wonderful candidate and president. I'm 100% for Bernie.

Thank you. Let's hope he hears us!

My ass off!

If he decides to run in the primaries, he'll need all the support he can get.

you`ll find Bernie supporters make up quite a motley crew. Every single time I go anywhere in the state, I see Bernie signs, Bernie bumper stickers, Bernie tee shirts. Been that way for years. We love the guy. His supporters know he`s the real deal, a rare thing in today`s political scene.

I'm not ready for Hillary Clinton to be handed the nomination without a challenger from the left. RUN, BERNIE! RUN!

Whatever it takes to get his message out, I'm there.

You're saying Hillary is paying some DUers to steal people's avatars on DU?

See you on the battlefield. May the best wo-man win!!!

Go get 'em, Hillary!!!
