This is just the very beginning of a political revolution to end their control over the government and economy.

(2,546 posts)Hillary about all of her Brooklyn folks not allowed to vote... for various reasons... (ILLEGAL)! FUNNY, ALL THOSE WHO WERE DISENFRANCHISED HAPPENED TO BE BERNIE VOTERS!

He has long been an admirer of Pope Francis, who sees people in the same light as Bernie.
I know I'm talking way over your head now...

(4,187 posts)Way to help the Democratic Party's chances in November, to argue that the likely nominee is for sale and should not be trusted.
Really, are Bernie Sanders supporters simply incapable of making a point without making personal attacks against other people (Hillary or her supporters)?

Thanks - but NO thanks!

(30,613 posts)They are doing little or nothing about all the irregularities in Brooklyn, Illinois, and AZ. Their response is simply to spin the meme that "the votes lost should have been ours anyway, but we 'won' so oh well..." It's not good optics.

(2,054 posts)Just because Bill and Hillary have raked in tens of millions of bucks from corporations and Wall Street doesn't make them beholden to their benefactors.
That's just plain left-wing commie nonsense!
Isn't that right?

(424 posts)He was never non-electable. Clinton lost many states to him, and barely won several.
And, he's been getting elected to congress consistently for 40 years.

(1,166 posts)Polling has shown that for years. It also is, in substantial part, why people in this country vote in such embarrassingly low numbers. It is not a personal attack on the candidate you support when it is pointed out that Bernie Sanders is not for sale. He is one of the very few people in Congress and the Senate who is not for sale. Of course, that's not how those elected officials see it. Barney Frank, for instance, explained on a late night talk show around the time he retired that taking money from special interests and corporations was 'being nice to people when they are nice to you.' This post's statement is absolutely correct: Bernie Sanders is not for sale.
