Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forum5 Things We’ve Learned About Hillary Clinton Since She Won the New York Primary
1. Clinton is now statistically tied with Donald Trump in national polling, while Sanders beats Trump by 10 points.
2. Charles Koch has revealed that Clinton is conservative enough that he might vote for her over any of the remaining Republicans.
3. It turns out that neither Hillary nor her staff ever had any respect for Sanders, his supporters, or the causes he (and they) have championed
4. Clinton has been paying millions of dollars to spread campaign propaganda illicitly, part of which effort was designed to play up the Bernie Bro meme.
5. There will be no attempt whatsoever to bring Sanders supporters back into the Democratic fold.

(517 posts)We have also learned that she is always in favor of the thing that gets her more power. She will be so accommodating to us that I personally will want to puke. I pledge an oath that I will NEVER vote for that woman, under any circumstances, EVER.

(5,400 posts)They'll be crying in their sleep as they try to summon forth a plausible way to appeal to Sanders supporters. For the moment they bitterly recognize how crappy looking their previous attempts came off. Bottom line to them is that the methods they've used project weakness and ineptitude.
So many factions on the left consider her record to be prohibitive. Squaring that circle while trying to figure out Trump's support and triangulating that is beyond her, or any, campaign's abilities.
They screwed up by mocking blocks of voters that don't just shrug that off.
If they can get Jimmy Carter, Michael Moore, and all the rest, to combine in a group hug, then maybe. But I don't see them as ignoring the many elephants that would be in the room for that hug.
Maybe if Chicago can spare Rahm Emanuel long enough so he can come back to charm us again?

We are your elders and we know what is best for us.
We don't rally. We vote. We know what is best for you.
You don't need *free* education because
we are going to destroy this planet before you get old enough to go to college.
*Free* Healthcare! What for?
We are going to send you off to war and kill and maim you anyway.
What makes you think you are worth $15.oo an hour? Yes, we made the equivalent or more in our youth but, we were worth it. You are not. Those CEOs are our generation. They deserve to make all those millions and hide them off shore.
and Young Women, especially for you: You are NOT the Master of Your Domain.
Ha! That was just an old Seinfeld joke and the joke is on you, now.
We, have every right to vote on what you can do with your body. Get used to it.
Don't worry about social security you won't live long enough to draw.
We got ours. Fuck you.
Now then, get out there and do your duty and be the selfish little greedy consumers we raised you to be.
with all our love,
Your Parents, Grandparents, Great-Grandparents.
PS. Mainly, what we are saying is: DON'T RAISE OUR TAXES !!!!

(22,000 posts)Though I don't think it matters whether or not Chucky Koch votes for Hillary or not, it would matter how much he uses his right wing smear machine to attack her and the amount of resources he uses to do that.
BTW I thought I had heard you had left us. Glad that turned out not to be a false alarm. The "purge" is trying to knock us out one at a time. They are a stain on DU.
