You're not entitled to any smugness OR any presumption of superiority.

This campaign would be meaningless if Bernie hadn't run.

It would be nothing but lesser-evil.

For some reason, I think you'd have preferred that.

to register on Democratic Underground to tell us you don't support democratic candidates. You might want to take a few minutes to read the TOS before you announce that you are not going to vote for the duly elected democratic candidate.

that one of those third parties ALSO has a female candidate.

They also don't understand that we're warning them, not throwing temper tantrums. We're telling them NOW that we won't vote for her. We're telling them why. We're not voting for the Republicans, either, because, quite frankly, if we wanted what the Republicans were offering, we'd have no trouble voting for Clinton.

If they don't take our advice, fine, but we won't be to blame when she loses because our votes went to Jill Stein.

term.

A leap backward for democratic process, for the environment, for social progress in the US, on and on... It will all be a financial calculation about what favors she owes (which will be bigger than ever) and who she deigns to favor, while Bill wanders the halls looking to expand his, er, influence.

Full Text of Pope Francis' in-flight interview from Lesbos to Rome


The Pope also discussed his brief greeting for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.). He said the greeting in no way represented an intention of “getting mixed up in politics.”
...

Second. This morning when I walked out, there was Senator Bernie Sanders who came to the congress on “Centessimus Annus.” He knew that I was leaving at that time and he had the courteousness to greet me. I greeted him and his wife, and another couple with him that was staying in Santa Marta, because all of the members of the congress, except the heads of state who I believe were staying in their embassies, were staying at the Santa Martha residence. I gave a greeting and nothing more. A greeting is an educated thing to do and does not mean to be mixed up with politics. If someone thinks that to give a greeting means to get mixed up in politics, I think he needs a psychiatrist.

Yeah, Princess Weathervane may well end up the nominee...this has been rigged for her from the get-go. But she has no chance in November. None. If that's what it takes to get the party to at long last abandon its bullshit, Third Way, rightward drift, so be it.

Just in case some of us were starting to think that DU is getting too vitriolic, and that we should all back off from attacking one another and each person's preferred candidate, along you come to remind us, once again, that you don't care about the wishes of the rest of the country and don't want us to have a chance to vote for our preferred candidate. I really would like to know how you consider that to be democratic. If Hillary is the winner so be it, but at least have the decency to support the right of all of us to have our say in the process up to the convention. Is that really too much to ask of people who claim to be Democrats?

Might want to look him up. We've only begun to fight. Win or lose, supporters of Bernie Sanders are not going away. Either the Democratic party will listen to us and stop supporting fracking, stop with regime change policies, oppose terrible trade agreements like NAFTA and TPP, support Wall Street regulation, and end Citizens United...or we will form a new party that represents what the Democratic should be.
