Bernie taking women up to Canada to get their breast cancer meds was one of the high points of his career in Congress.

He has always walked the walk!

Thanks, Uncle Joe!

He is the epitome of mensch for sure.

I wish we had more representatives and senators in the mold of Bernie Sanders. I guess we will have to settle for having one in the white house.

As it is until the disastrous teaparty is thrown out on their ass, little to nothing can be done.

Would they work with Hillary over Bernie?

Bernie over Hillary?

Neither, I am sure.

Their stated goal is to destroy the government as we know it.

As I'm sure you know, their brains got washed by rightwing media sources. Bernie's entire message rests on the premise that government exists to serve the people -- and he has cogent, detailed propositions for making it do just that. If they could compare Bernie's message with that of their rightwing media and see the difference between a straight talking, honest statesman and slick Fox/Limbaugh-styled propaganda, they might very well begin to open their eyes to the truth. Because truth is more compelling than falsehood.

No way Hillary could do that for them. But Bernie can, because he reaches people; they hear him.

That's why the oligarchs, including the Hillary campaign, are trying so hard to ignore and silence him.

This is why you see little to no difference between Cruz and Clinton?

The other one is a senator from Texas.



But, seriously, Hillary is fine on social issues, but her economic and FP stances are too corporate and hawkish for me.

you say the same

I was responding to that -- to the teaparty's opinion of government. Government. Get it? Where did I say it was "All about economics?"

And this: "This is why you see little to no difference between Cruz and Clinton?"

I never said that, either. Although I don't care for either one, but Cruz is phony-nuts, while Clinton is phony-smart. Different flavors of phony.

Ohhhh .... I see what you're doing. You're falling back on hackneyed memes about1) Bernie Supporters caring only about the rich vs. the poor and 2) the meme du jour: Bernie supporters won't vote for Hillary over a Republican. Right? Well I don't want to dance around with these boring memes. I thought we were having a reasonable discussion. Sorry I misjudged the situation.

It's a boring, hackneyed meme. It makes y'all sound like dutiful, programmed little foot soldiers, insincere and incapable of genuine discussion or any kind of authenticity. Which, sadly, describes your candidate.

Do they send you out on a mission to grill Bernie supporters about whatever it is you've decided to obsess over this week? Have you nothing better to do?

May you break free, randys1. May you step out on your own and be your own person, never, ever to let Hillary-land dictate your commenting behavior again.

FREE RANDY!!

Take that authoritarian filth back to Camp Weathervane.

Now quit harrassing me or I'll write you off as a troll.

I don't give a single fucking about being the more inclusive and secular wing of the Republican party, that weak shit will no longer hold my vote.

the Democratic Party than if Hillary were elected.

The Republican and Tea party opposition would be greatly weakened should Bernie make it to the Oval Office.

If they are going to refuse to work with any Democratic candidate then we may as well have the most progressive possible candidate in office.

Are genuine. He has always worked for the average American. In a time when Wall Street, Corporations and Bankers own our government, we need someone like Bernie to stand up for our interests. We need him.

want her to stand for. They say "Jump!" and she asks "How high?" Apart from that, the only thing she stands for is her own self-advancement.

I don't know how anyone can trust a word she says, when she's changed her stance on so many cut and dried issues. Anyone with a brain knows she'll pander to the banks and other oligarchs once she's in office.

I am not a Bernie supporter, but will vote for him in the general election if he wins the nomination. Will Sanders supporters vote for Hillary in the general election if she wins the nomination? Many of my Sanders supporters friends have said they hear a vote for Sanders is a vote for Republicans. I am here to say I believe that false.... Will Party win out, or will complacency win out?

Why do they continue to trot out this stupidity?

Blah-blah-blah-not a Bernie supporter-blah-blah-will you vote for the lesser of two evils-blah-blah.

Let me put it to you this way. If I have a choice between an original home cooked meal or a McDonald's heartstopper super-sized fuck-me-over burger, and the corporate media keeps shoving that godawful piece of over processed corporate filth into my face until it is time for dinner, I will give that dilemma the thought it deserves before I take a bite.

I suggest you do the same.

I pretty much know what you would do.....

As soon as March 1 when Bernie drops out, he will support Hillary though. Count on it.

Is that all that matters to you? Don't you have anything more productive to do with your online time? Why don't you try to make a cogent argument for why anyone should vote for Hillary Clinton? At least that might be pertinent.

Do you think for one second that you can control the feelings and decisions of other people? What are you going to do now? Badger him/her?

This is ridiculous.

Try to have some creativity, it will alleve the boredom.

perhaps you could start a separate OP to address it?

Besides, it makes no sense to try to associate Bernie with "complacency." If anything, Democrats who fall back on the familiar image of Hillary Clinton, despite the fact that she is about as close to Republican as any so-called Democrat could get, are the very definition of "complacent."

I'll let her know after the election.

so quit even trying to force feed them because I aim to spit them out with extreme prejudice.

If that sort is who you want to elect then get to work getting TeaPubliKlans to start breathing through their noses and to stop seeing free market Jesus riding dinosaurs to the rescue of Muricka.

Clean up the conservative party instead of working to give it two wings.

It isn't just a question. It seems to be the main question.


Next!

H.A. Goodman happens to be a very good journalist. He is 100% for Bernie, not Rand. So go find another one meme to cling onto..

Becoming predictable, DanTex.

It's so hard to keep up. (There doesn't seem to be a smilie for abject ignorance.)

Asking for proof of a poster's claim, usually met with *crickets*.


senz!

Don't you get sick of them? I'm totally fed up. What a cynical, bland, boring lot they are. They've been sent out today to grill Bernie supporters on who they're going to support in the GE -- and that is ALL they want to talk about. I wish there were a gif showing a cat kicking sand over its you-know-what. Shot from behind the cat so the viewer feels like the you-know-what. That would be a nice response to their lizard-level blather.

Oh well. Hi bmus! Hope you're having a good Tuesday. I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday, so now it's like getting three extra days.

When I wake up thinking it's the weekend and it's not I'm a little sore.

All's good here, little hot today but considering what's happening in SC I can't complain.

But I'm retired, bmus; it's just one undifferentiated day after another.

Yes, SC is on the receiving end of man-made climate change caused by global warming. Just searched my bookmarks for one of the warnings about just this sort of thing and located one from 3 years ago but am pretty sure I read about it earlier.

Too bad "Hillary and the Republicans" (my favorite music group, has this middle-aged blonde out in front of backup singers in tuxedos, top hats and spats) don't dare antagonize the fossil fuel industry or any other big donors.

Because when someone wrote that to me, I thought they knew I was Latina.

sit.

Apparently the memo didn't include details.

The picture they made of Red Scare Bernie Minion shows they don't know the difference between Communism and Democratic Socialism either.

They evolve with the polls!!!!

Gun nut last week, didn't support lgbt rights was yesterday and today, maybe EEK HE'S A SOCIALIST! tomorrow?

Got to keep that compost churned.

He's unelectable!!!!!!!!!!!!

environment, civil rights, tax policy, unionization and government's role being just a few.

I swear!!

the same truth.. every time.

you never have to think about it.

thanks uncle joe!

That's as good as any.

I've noticed you posting a lot lately, and every one a gem! You are one of the stars in the DU firmament.

Peace to you.

Thanks, Uncle Joe.

I will bookmark this as well.

You can do it, leftofcool. I know you can.

You know, that media that is so "in the bag" for her, but takes Trey Gowdy and Lindsay Graham seriously on Benghazi.

Has Hillary Clinton ever issued a press release stating she's "Breaking her silence today/tomorrow/next week"?

The choice should be obvious.

Thanks for posting this highly relevant article, Uncle Joe.

But I feel like we haven't seen the real Hillary in years. It's like she's been focus-grouped and micromanaged out of existence. We're seeing the real Bernie.

that add up to me thinking Bernie is more than just another politician: he is a LEADER!

Go, Bernie!

Peace to you.
