But, whatever. Hillary is not going to win.

we should feel honored.

Laughing... At... Abject... Absurdity... Of... POST!

TFB buddy

THe delusion and tone deafness is astounding

If a right wing Corporatist Democratic Party is your goal -
Bernie is bringing the Party back to it a better day

a terrific candidate who has brought many young people into the process, and someone who can revivify the vision of the Democratic Party, enjoining its core constituencies to the greater cause before us, and for those reasons and others, I'm abandoning the Clinton campaign and throwing my support to Bernie!"

Well said, indeed. And welcome. Bernie's the real deal.

The party is already divided. Some of us are thrilled as fuck to finally be able to vote for a candidate we agree with on most issues.

I'm actually floored by the inanity of this OP.

I think it does - smells like desperation.

Or some of that "inevitability" is.

They just normally dont come out and say it.

If people were actually so clueless, my opinion of humanity would have to be negatively adjusted.

I lost track of how many times I heard "The Clintons are party heroes" back in 2008. Yet not once, ever, could I get anyone to explain exactly why. Most often, I got a response similar to the op -- condescending, insulting, dismissive. More than once I was called a political dilettante and told I should just stay home if I couldn't support "these two amazing people." Ugh. I'm getting flashbacks now.

Go Bernie!!!!

I like your amused attitude better than my initial gobsmacked one.

A socialist won there as well.

It was probably one of the happiest days in my life. Brownbackistan went full socialist, well one party did the other went full on Talibornagain. So, still, I never would have expected a primary vote of mine to ever count!

We do not need a Clinton third term. Party heroes? Geez, where do I start?

it would be too easy for Trump to savage Bernie on his socialism, given his business success

1961 called, and they want their red scare back. The time machine is locked up in Ft. Knox.

You mean, like all those times he's filed for bankruptcy-- more than anyone else in the last 30 years?

. . . but when I do, I avoid posting online.

One others should take to heart. But then, the Hillarians had a bad night last night; let's give them time to come to terms with it.

First off trump can't call out socialism when he accepted it as part of his business model. He also can't hammer Bernie about trade deals like he could Clinton. That dynamic changes when Bernie is in the generals because Bernie can say, " Just another billionaire taking advantage of free trade policies that need changed" Outsourcing etc. You can be scared of what the republicans may do, but I will be damned if I make a choice on what they think or could say. Her Corporateness is going down just like in 2008.

So you'll vote for Trump?

Bernie is "sowing dissent" the same way Obama is dividing the country (according to repubs).

I believe you have it backwards. Maybe Hillary should be stopped, she is causing dissent with her constant attacks, and less than half truths.

It is the Hillary campaign that specializes in Identity Politics ... half the posts here from Hillarians is about separating women and African-Americans from "white state" voters (that is from a Hillary supporter's post).

Sen. Sanders has been much more inclusive in his approach than Clinton. Hillarians may mock Sander's stance, but in the end a good job that pays at least a $15 minimum and affordable health insurance is important to everyone in this country.

What looks like dissent is the consequences of the Clinton political machine trying to steamroller any opposition into 'silent loyalty'.

Well, regular folks aren't having it -- we are all in this together -- it is the Sanders campaign that is being successful with that message.

I can just imagine you slowly backing away as you say it.

My children, 26 and 18 by the election: one will vote in FL's primary for Bernie, on will vote in the GE for the Dem nominee (he's hoping his first vote is someone he's inspired by).

Reports of a "fracture" are greatly exaggerated. There are those who are moved by someone who is willing to address (what used to be) the middle class, and those who look at politics as a football game. And then there are hundreds of thousands in between.

Trump would lose to a ham sandwich.

I am not afraid.

~ and yes, all of us will vote for the Dem nominee, whoever it is.

Is this satire?

If the Clinton camp had not used race baiting to make Sanders look like he was a racist. So matter what you say until these types of attacks are part of DNC then it is HRC that is Sowing Dissent Among Democrats.

Could be from any one of the commonwealth nations. Sheesh.

It's not a radical place. We could learn a lot from them, especially with infrastructure.

given how many openly and overtly fascist and communist parties are in parliaments there.

2) The reasons more radical parties(most of the left in Europe aren't communists, btw...they are left-wing socialists or left-Greens, and there's a big difference between those parties and the communists) exist in Europe is that the "moderate" parties have been united in imposing brutal and totally unnecessary austerity measures on ordinary people.

3) What is so terrible about having political figures and parties suggesting alternatives to the status quo? It's not as if the existing order is paradise in most places.

Some funny fucking shit right there.

Funny shit indeed.

Props.

She is sowing discontent by criticizing Bernie. Maybe she needs to be stopped.

I am committed to supporting whoever wins the nomination, but the arrogance and entitlement on display in posts like this is not doing Clinton any favors.

Those youngsters and independents are going to decide this election. You better start accepting that fact really fast.

We'll no longer be a sane political country? Best line, EVER.

That's what did it for me!

no surprise, starting to shit stir

I hope so. Otherwise it's idiotic. Fawns fucking forbid smart people dissent. It must be stopped!!! uke:

I came back for Bernie.

The DINO's that are the Clinton's will never get my vote.

...this *has* to be satire.

No one is automatically entitled to the party's nomination.

I have zero respect or admiration for the Clinton family.

I am not a youngster.

I am 62.

Some 31 replies, and hundreds of views and not a single DUer brought popcorn.

So here....

Good one!

And a big cold glass of iced tea, and I'm done.



Good seasoning for those of us who don't like spicy stuff and lots of pepper:

We need to get those youngsters to the polls in the fall if we're going to elect ANY Dem. Talking down to them doesn't make that happen.

Oh...and we've had "open race and class warfare" since 1981.

I can tell you this, harping about Europe while using Euro spellings is just odd stuff.

She should drop out now.

Bernie has a long history of uniting people from every side. The Clintons are one of the most divisive political dynasties in history. The DLC wormed their way into the Democratic Party as "Ex-Republicans" who wanted to "Make the DNC more business friendly", but many also said that the third way's intent was to "destroy liberalism in America", thereby making it a one party government. They've nearly succeeded, but many of us DON'T fall for the establishment bullshit spewed 24/7 on cable TV. The Clintons are not and never have been "party heroes" any more than their dear friends the Bushes are "party heroes" for the GOP.

And no, Bernie would NOT "raise taxes" on the vast majority of Americans. Most Americans would end up with more money in their pockets! See for yourself: www.BernieTax.com

Have you ever BEEN to Europe, or Scandinavia, or even South Africa? They GET MORE for their tax dollars than we do by a long shot.

I do believe you should write for SNL.

The Clintons have proven themselves to be traitors to REAL Democratic principles and ideals. NAFTA, Glass-Steagall reversal screwed America big time.

And millenials are feeling the consequences. A 30 year old today is making what a 30 year old made 30 years ago after factoring in sky rocketing college debt.

And, BTW, respect is earned! Young people have no reason to respect the Clinton legacy. In fact, none of us should.

Only honour to the party heroes.

All this time I thought heroes were folk who sacrificed themselves to help others!!!

I think they represent everything that is wrong with the political system in the USA.

Bernie is simply the only available avenue of expression of that dissent, relative to the Presidential race.

If Bernie disappeared tomorrow, that dissent would still grow as it has, until the reasons for the dissent are addressed and no longer suppressed.

He outspent Clinton in Flint 2-1 and by more than a million statewide, and every day for the last couple of weeks there's been a big steaming plate of fresh anti-Clinton oppo in every paper. Nasty stuff too. That's only going to help Trump come September and he's already jawing about the depressed Dem turnout in MI tonight.

Oh, wait...

Show some respect!

Of all the crap that still haunts us as a result of their hijacking the party you can't be for real. We have always had fresh, enlightened grass roots candidates who have been crushed by the Democratic Machine. You can start with George McGovern. The grassroots are fucking sick and tired of being told to 'hold their noses' and tow the party line and vote for whichever candidate is the 'Loser de Jour' and what has that gotten us? Freaking Hubert Humphrey, Al Gore, John Kerry, etc and NEVER do we get a REAL grassroots candidate.
I am sick of it and I've been voting since 1972.
CNN just announced Sanders WINS Michigan!!!!!!!!

Bernie will join him.

voted for Tricky Dick. Nixon STOLE McGovern's plan to get my peers out of the draft and Vietnam and that is the ONLY reason he won.
I was tear gassed at protests, pumpkin, and you have no clue what you are talking about.

As long as we're sitting here in perpetual denial that it is now the 21st century, and all.
