Bernie is nice ever when he's in attack mode.

You just won't find a nicer candidate.

and what he really didn't want to do...mano-a-mano with Hillary. Once he gets started on that damning list posted elsewhere, which applies BOTH to Hillary and the Republicans, the majority of the American people are not stupid. When someone helps them connect the dots, they'll get it and they'll not like it At All.

about Americans now being stupid..


From Norway, from Portugal, from Germany, from The Netherlands, from Japan.... Americans, as a bunch, look... pretty fucking stupid.

in Europe, and back then I got an earful.

Germany, France, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands. We spoke to a number of people and they were pretty happy that we were supporting Bernie. I swear they know more about our politics than many Americans do.

have an investment in The Winner. Canadians, too.

I'm sure they can watch it if they want to, but it's not intravenous over there, like it is here.

Those countries I mentioned, are just where I have been fairly recently.

I mean my experience traveling has ALWAYS been that others know more about America than too many Americans do.


My friends and colleagues around the world are mostly in the arts in one way or another, whether directly or indirectly, many musicians, and they think Bernie is our only hope. And not only for the US but, by association, for them as well. They LOVE the dude!

Friends in Korea, Taiwan, Russia, hell, even Oman. Same thing..

People I know in China, of course, say they could NEVER, EVER even imagine having someone like Bernie Sanders.

Kardashian but has no idea who represents his/her state in the Senate or district in the House. Mention Joe Biden and get a blank stare. And it's not just government. Americans also have no clue about basic geography.

My elderly mom likes to watch Wheel of Fortune. When I watch with her, I never cease to be amazed at the level of sheer ignorance of the contestants. The other night a puzzle referenced Venice, and the man who solved it was asked what country Venice is in. The boob responded "Paris."

Shakes head.

….are idiots. Go see Michael Moore's brilliant new movie "Where To Invade Next" if you want to see the faces of Europeans being stunned by Americans.

We're all stupid really, that we've allowed democracy** be completely taken over by corporations.

I always asterisk democracy** because I know for minorities, it never has been a real democracy.

Moore's movie makes the link actually between our having never dealt with slavery and the rise of predatory capitalism. The country has too much rot and hypocrisy at its core to be thriving now.

He lied !!

I just knew he couldn't keep a promise.. I just knew it....

I did !!!








Really....

I did....

Bernie pointing out what everyone has seen, as "an attack"

Oh, you were using .
My bad.

people would serve themselves best to remember that.

I agree in part, Hillary is a more polished politician, but Bernie is a superior political leader.

The post and thread that I just presented to you is prima facie evidence of the corporate media conglomerates' motivation in dampening Bernie's message they blacked out coverage of Bernie for most of last year and he's done remarkably well despite their complicity in trying to eliminate or diminish the political revolution.

The answer to the first question of course is conservative and yet.

Well done!

Bernie after the amazing year he has had! The MSM still paints him as a far left radical kook. They know that their whole shadow government is threatened by him and his call for Publicly Funded Elections. This would shut off the legal money spigot. No more Republican candidates being interviewed by greedy billionaires!

Bernie is the real deal, he is no lightweight, and I am glad that he has stopped taking shit from them. He called Hillary out on the corrupting influence of all of that money. This is what needed to happen. Hillary is the prime example of what he is fighting against in the first place! She won't release her transcripts, yet she brags about how she will be tougher on Wall Street than Bernie. Trump will do it to her anyway if she wins the Primary.

they've learned to play the game too well.

They may have had authentic, altruistic goals when they started, but they've played the game so long, the goal posts have changed. They've convinced themselves that since money drives the game, they have to have that money to stay in the game...so all rules pertaining to money and how you get it and what obligations it conveys, are necessary.

Good thread Joe.

Peace to you.

She doesn't fool Bernie's supporters one whit with that behavior.

In my view, she is doing it because she knows damn well that millions of people believe Bernie has the better stances and policies. It is classic, as has been said TOO many times, Rovian shit. It makes me ill.

1- You have no idea for whom I will vote. Stop making up shit.

2- Rovian shit... No. NO chance whatsoever.

Seems you're engaging in a bit of preemptive gloating here. Your utter certainty of her victory is a bit premature.

I just think it's a bit early to start gloating. I could give you several historical examples, of when what people thought would absolutely happen... did not happen, or vice versa. Politics in this Country are constantly on the move, constantly changing, from tweet to tweet, from soundbite to soundbite, from poll to poll... you get the idea.

I'm not going to say that Clinton absolutely won't win, or that Sanders absolutely will - because it's simply too early to tell. Consider the growth of the Sanders campaign over the last several months... it has been gigantic. Consider the sheer number of individual financial contributions that have been made by simple people like me (over 4 million reached - recently). The delegate count is even. If Clinton gains an enormous lead over Bernie, I might be more inclined to agree with you, but it's still much too early.

I've been through this a few times too - if you are suggesting that having accurately predicted the results in NV suggests that you can (absolutely) accurately pinpoint the results of other primaries, or of the ultimate victor... well, hell, if you can do that, you should immediately go out and buy a whole ton of lottery tickets.

You've got a right to your own opinion - but not to your own facts, which is what makes this premature... and gloating.

Just calling it like I see it, too.

brought on herself.

a corrupt batshit crazy lying war mongering repuke. Not that it will matter if I vote for her or not. She is a sure bet to lose us the election.

That pretty much says it all.

Nothing sums up Hillary better than that.

It's not fun to have your message stolen, but it is a regular part of the play

just as stealing a message is a regular part of political play, so is calling attention to this and it should be done.

And I would have no problem with pointing out in the future that she has turned her back on the programs she steals.

"press conference" a generous description.

Tad must have told him to get out there and do something. So he repeats his stump speech.

Are we back in grade school?

assuming one has become an adult.

last night on another site. People know she is doing it.

It was like she ran though her super pac, only said she was going to stop them.

Bernie was still and Independent when Hillary was addressing this issue on behalf of Democrats.

Everyone knows he's been addressing these issues while hill was still on Wal-Mart's board. And everyone can see she been parroting him.

They don't come any phonier than Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Where oh where may those transcripts be, where oh where can they be..........

K&R for my street fighting man.

I want the real progressive not one who sounds progressive for the length of a campaign speech.

down for the count rather than the candidate who swamped Hillary in NH, came within .2 percent in the Iowa caucuses and a couple of percentage points in Nevada -- and judging by what I've read, those Nevada results may well be suspect.

Good for Bernie, though. Keep the pressure on her to release the transcripts, and bring up at every opportunity those millions she's collected from Wall Street. Bernie clearly has her number.

The official tally showed a virtual tie.

What would the tally be if it were a primary, where the state, county and local clerks' offices are involved (NOT calling Harry Reid or Elizabeth Wasserman-Schultz liars or friends of Hillary)?

Looks like a success to me.

Hillary is copying his message. It is so obvious I figured it out before Bernie even said anything.

So did this guy.

:large

Now Clinton.
