I'm feeling the BERN! Obviously, so is everyone.

What has gone down has done nothing but:

Make my resolve stronger to help elect the the only candidate that is truly for the disenfranchised, the marginalized, the minorities, the unions and the 99% -Senator Bernie Sanders

Show me that friendship means nothing to some people, that the total disrespect shown and outright lies told about people, is indicative of what certain campaigns are truly about. Which just increases my resolve to elect the only candidate that is truly for the disenfranchised, the marginalized, the minorities, the unions and the 99% - Bernie Sanders

That we must move forward, fight the bullshit, ignore the idiocy and the liars and help elect the only candidate that is truly for the disenfranchised, the marginalized, the minorities, the unions and the 99% - Bernie Sanders

That they have proven who has supporters that are just truly evil and we need to elect the only candidate that is truly for the disenfranchised, the marginalized, the minorities, the unions and the 99% - Senator Bernie Sanders

So, let's do what we do best, get off our asses and work hard to elect the only candidate that is truly for the disenfranchised, the marginalized, the minorities, the unions and the 99% -Senator Bernie Sanders

My total political focus is on Senator Bernie Sanders, 2016 Democratic primary nominee, nothing else. That will be the reality until at least Super Tuesday.

Senator Sanders will either win the 2016 Democratic Presidential primary or he won't. Either way, he will have spread to millions of Americans, very clearly and straightforwardly, a message they desperately needed to hear, having been deceived for so long. (I, for one, learned that I am probably a Democratic Socialist and so are most Americans. http://www.democraticunderground.com/12779483 )

Meanwhile, what the Democratic Party chosen to become is also exposing itself. Both things are revolutionary. Any politician who doesn't "get it" as to this paragraph is in for an unpleasant surprise.

I believe Senator Sanders can win. If he doesn't, I will re-assess then. Meanwhile, I'm working and donating to the very best of my ability.

All else is frippery and shiny objects distracting magpies, including early polls.

Beloved, I heartily recommend all the above to anyone who supports Senator Sanders for President.

Great posts.

I won't have to reasses if Sanders doesn't win the primary. Because he will win the primary.

On Thu Sep 24, 2015, 02:33 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

I'm feeling the BERN! Obviously, so is everyone.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/128054611

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling other Democrats, other DUers, who support a different candidate "evil" is way over the top and incredibly divisive.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Sep 24, 2015, 02:40 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: First, Hillary is going to win the primaries. I proudly support her. In the unlikely event Sanders does wins, he gets my support then, and only then. Just so you know where I stand.

Although I find the OP ridiculous, it does not call out anyone by name, just makes a broad, silly statement, but certainly is not hidable, especially not in a protected group.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Yeah, and that is never seen in the Hillary group. Nice try.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Being a victim of a word is a lot easier than being a victim of an action. Get over it.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It says that some of them are evil. Which is indeed excessive but not reason to hide the post.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Of overcoming young voter complacency, and the popular meme that voting makes no difference. Bernie gives me faith that the "illusion of choice" between Demicans and Republicrats finally has an honest option. The problem for us all is to get many of the youth to pay at least enough attention to care, motivation to GOTV.

that you might be one of those Bernie supporters that I have heard about. I could be wrong, but something tells me that you are under the influence of Bernie-mania.

It would be nice if he scheduled an event for the Chicago area of Illinois.

I was up at the McHenry County Fair this year, and there was a Sanders booth I that rural area. The two staffers were very passionate and well informed about the issues.

Because I have not seen them utter one single honest answer to these questions

1) Where is Clinton's crossover appeal?
2) What issues is Clinton better than Bernie?

Good luck, young padawan. May the Force be with you.

But they can't stop you from talking about Bernie's positions on most issues that is better than Clinton. That's how we intend to convert Clinton supporters - and show them that Bernie is indeed electable. Bernie deserves our help and even if the DNC is being obnoxious assholes intent on giving Clinton her coronation by all means necessary - people will *LOOK* at that facade and say: What bloody hell is all that shit about a true progressive compatriot that should be a party of principles, not a party of personality cults.

Printing and making Bernie souvenirs to give out as I post. I don't think I talk about much beside Bernie these days.

In fact, I been adding the fact that the DNC is ignoring all candidates aside from Hillary as a talking point and people are really responding to it.
