Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumJust a slighly sarcastic comment
Skinner should add "Eeyore" as an avatar. It would be perfect for some doom n' gloomers here. Good grief folks. When Bernie loses it upsets me too but - if you give up now why were you in, in the first place? If this were to be easy for him, this country would be different already. As it is it's a corrupt right-wing virtual corporate utopia. What did you expect?

(1,090 posts)I don't know about anyone else, but I knew it was going to be a long haul. But even if Bernie loses we win. The things being brought into the light of day, kicking and screaming, being shown to more and more people, will help all of us in the long run. By electing more progressives in the smaller venues we can, just like the right wing has done for the last 30 years, change the game plan of this country.

(45,251 posts)this will make some kind of point. I donated $300.00 to the Sanders' campaign yesterday morning. That is not a meaningless amount for me and is far from my first donation. I would have done the same if an Archangel had descended from heaven and told me Bernie would not be the nominee.

(279 posts)I was admonished unfairly for discussing sad Bernie supporters last night.
I'm just warning you that irrational people are here and will get nasty if they feel like it.
Personally nothing has happened this whole time that wasn't predictable with the exception of the bird on the lectern.
Our crowd SHOULD be supporting Sanders since he has espoused all of the goals that this party has sold us on for all these years. I have no idea why anyone who fancies themselves aprogressive would support Clinton. Only fear of getting what they want comes to mind.
As a feminist as well, I'm tired of being a hostage to the belief that supporting Sanders over Clinton requires me to turn in my Feminist card as well.
This is a slot for sure but its all worth it, win or lose .
