Why thank you, Justin! boston bean Aug 2015 #4
And of course how dare you bring up such a point. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #5
Wouldn't an extremely principled candidate who is so against something boston bean Aug 2015 #7
Honestly I think he just might. But yes he and those who complain about this should be challenged. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #10
Why would someone so principled want to participate in something that is "rigged"? boston bean Aug 2015 #13
Great question. If he feels it is rigged maybe he should stand on principle and not participate. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #18
i do not think he would. he talks a good game, but he wants to stay in tight with dems seabeyond Aug 2015 #19
Yes. He wants to keep the party at arms length but won't let go. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #22
and i am ok with that. this man is a politician. i get that. i do not hold him to a standard seabeyond Aug 2015 #34
I just wish his followers would show a little realism. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #39

Fair enough. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #45

O'MALLEY has also complained Rosa Luxemburg Aug 2015 #85
yes. and he and his family are within the democratic party and have been a lifetime and will seabeyond Aug 2015 #86
I don't think there is a difference Rosa Luxemburg Aug 2015 #94
and i do think there is a difference. so we disagree. nt seabeyond Aug 2015 #97
Then he can test the dnc. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #90
Yes he did. Andy823 Aug 2015 #101
Except H. Clinton wouldn't come out of hiding to participate and the DNC would then exclude him rhett o rick Aug 2015 #51
Oh, poor bernie, participating in a process he feels is rigged. boston bean Aug 2015 #61
but principle. right? character. morals and integrity. here is the thing. of course, seabeyond Aug 2015 #62

Once again, it's the exclusivity clause that is at issue here.. frylock Aug 2015 #55
With all the positive coverage Senator Sanders is getting on weekends and for his huge rallies BlueCaliDem Aug 2015 #6
Ask Bernie. nt boston bean Aug 2015 #8
shows you want to complain but won't take any action. seabeyond Aug 2015 #11
If Sandrs were to do that he's be attacked for not "playin well with others:" Armstead Aug 2015 #20
he has a history. that history tells him that running third party is a loss. he isnt stupid. seabeyond Aug 2015 #29
First of all, he is certainly not saying "happy fun things" Armstead Aug 2015 #42
are you SERIES!!1!1. lol. htis, you and i disagree. free college, 15 an hour, free health care, seabeyond Aug 2015 #46
Those are called goals -- all candidates give them Armstead Aug 2015 #64
i see omalley and clinton addressing the same issues as sanders. i see their plans though seabeyond Aug 2015 #73
I like many of O'Malleey's proposals too. But here's an uncomfortable truth. You are right. Armstead Aug 2015 #77
this is not a new and unknown concept and not like it is not repeatedly said by dems. seabeyond Aug 2015 #92
Here's how I see it Armstead Aug 2015 #100
Lot of hot air, little action. BlueCaliDem Aug 2015 #23
supporters keep saying, people get to know sanders he will gain ground. i got to know the man. seabeyond Aug 2015 #31
This is exactly how I feel. His legislative accomplishments are wafer-thin. And it's BlueCaliDem Aug 2015 #60
i really do look at the candidate that i think will get the most done. that is high on my priority seabeyond Aug 2015 #66
I'd suggest that you look at WHY more of the things he has proposed don't pass Armstead Aug 2015 #72
Or go a step further and enter the General Election as a third party candidate aikoaiko Aug 2015 #12
What? And break his oft-repeated promise to not be a spoiler? BlueCaliDem Aug 2015 #26
Hey, Im not the one suggesting Bernie break rules to show integrity. aikoaiko Aug 2015 #57
Right, he will just follow the rules of a process he feels is "rigged". boston bean Aug 2015 #65
I know you HRC fans are sensitive to the integrity issue given perceptions of your candidate.. aikoaiko Aug 2015 #78
Bernie feels there is an issue. And he has said he feels it is rigged. boston bean Aug 2015 #80
Unless what? Seems you're having trouble finishing your sentence. aikoaiko Aug 2015 #84
i am not a clinton supporter. intergrity is important in my day to day life. i know it well. seabeyond Aug 2015 #95
Who are you saying has not earned the assignment of integrity? aikoaiko Aug 2015 #96
i think we assign a hell of a lot more to sanders than reality. he is a man, a politician. seabeyond Aug 2015 #99
Interesting. LWolf Aug 2015 #14
He believes it is rigged. He agrees with someone else who feels the same way. boston bean Aug 2015 #24
+ 1000 BlueCaliDem Aug 2015 #54
i do believe we need to get them going sooner. i am good with 6. i need 3. i compromise, lol seabeyond Aug 2015 #75
Bernie Sanders has always been a chickenshit Armstead Aug 2015 #15
Anyone can talk. He has a chance here to take a principled stand. boston bean Aug 2015 #16
Yes talk is cheap. Armstead Aug 2015 #25
I know sometimes it is difficult to hear someone give an opinion. boston bean Aug 2015 #27
Hey, you gave an opinion. I gave my opinion of it. Armstead Aug 2015 #30
i can stand up and say all kinds of shit that will make people happy and feel warm all over. seabeyond Aug 2015 #21
The point is that the OP is just snarky bullshit Armstead Aug 2015 #28
mmm. i see more. it is something i have been considering seabeyond Aug 2015 #40
OK Boston, but forgive me if I point out that your post may be a little self serving in that PatrickforO Aug 2015 #32
As if that would not be met with howls and shrieks of outrage because Bernie "did not follow the djean111 Aug 2015 #37
Wow, Hillary bucked the DNC! Why doesn't Bernie? nt boston bean Aug 2015 #38
Oh, my, as if you are not salivating at the thought of Bernie being tossed out of the Dem djean111 Aug 2015 #48
I'm not salivating about that. I'm pretty pissed he is saying a process he is boston bean Aug 2015 #59
I think he is correct. As is Martin O'Malley. djean111 Aug 2015 #68
You feel ok with his words regarding this, that is fine. boston bean Aug 2015 #70
Yep. I am good. Thanks for the permission. djean111 Aug 2015 #79
I wasn't giving permission. But you know that. boston bean Aug 2015 #83
The thing is, being sarcastic to me does not accomplish anything, and being sarcastic towards djean111 Aug 2015 #98
Funny how the establishment is awfully convenient BainsBane Aug 2015 #41
You help make it clear that Clinton is afraid of debates. She is hoping to hang on to rhett o rick Aug 2015 #44

Why do you seem to avoid posting in threads pertaining to actual issues? rhett o rick Aug 2015 #53
How's about this? I'll post what I like. boston bean Aug 2015 #58
