We're gonna need every cent we can get in fighting the Nazi and the end of the planet.

as long as she doesn't shift right in her positions.

she's already there

or a primary contest.

Most of her policies align with most of those that vote for her. To us, there is no "liberal" and there is no "progressive", there are only Democrats. Might come as a surprise to Bernie-ites, but this isn't our first election that we have participated in. We were for "everybody" before Bernie-ites were even born.

She's a hawk, and a big business Wall Street lover. If she gets in, expect lots of bombing, and lots of cuts to social programs.

bernie actually DOES want repub support, just like hillary does

These are donors not voters that Hillary is going after.

perhaps it was her famed planning ahead that led to announce how she'd be willing to compromise abortion

They know a disaster wearing a Tribble hat when they see one.

neoconservative on foreign policy, liberal yet flexible on social issues, and pro-Big Business on most everything else." The very definition of The Third Way. Give em a little social justice while you are busy picking their pockets.

She's going to need all the $$$ she can get for the campaign.

At this point, that's what matters most of all. And if Bernie's supporters believe that a Hillary victory would be worse than a Trump victory, then they have lost all sense of proportion and reality.

Bernie's campaign is over. He could win every pledged delegate from here on and he would still lose.

I and tens of millions of other Democrats are focused on the general election. Because if Trump is elected, a man who considers as an option, dropping the nuclear bomb on the Mideast or Europe, we are in much deeper trouble than anyone can fully realize.

Especially when it's not needed. We aren't even outside of the primary and she's swinging to the far right.

No she isn't. She's moving to the middle which is where she belongs to win the election. The voting public is not progressive. Too few are to win elections.

She's doing what she needs to do to win. That's the primary objective.

There is a reason why the real results of the progressive movement in the last few decades have been disappointing. The movement is too extreme. Bernie's true agenda is one that can't win.

So what can we do? Well, you can continue to insist not to compromise for progress, to be a Bernie, an ideologue with admirable objectives. But in terms of real results, Bernie hasn't much to show. It's because he is an ideologue and won't settle for less than what he believes. He sacrifices the good by insisting on the perfect.

It's very admirable. But as a result, very little is achieved. I admire Bernie's commitment to his objectives, but he's not the kind of guy who will ever get real results. Because he won't compromise. He won't settle for incrementalism - the small steps by steps to get a result. Because he insists on his result. Which is not possible in this country.

So you won't get in bed with the Bushes, or whatever. You won't settle for a bit of progress and so the movement stalls and no real progress gets done. That's been the history of the movement, and it looks like that history is its future.

Bernie has a real opportunity here. He has started a movement with real potential to achieve great results. But he, like the movement, can't abide by the foundational rule of politics - compromise.

I'm compromising with Hillary. Because it is the best bet to achieve the only objective that matters - defeating Trump.

"No matter who wins, we lose."

Go Godzilla!!!!

That's how national, state, and local campaigns get funded, and even more than the presidency, we need to get Congress back. We need more governors in the statehouses and more state legislators to vote against things like obscene absurdities "bathroom laws".
