this whole bernie not being a dem

[okieinpain]

is like blm wanting to have a "blacks" only meeting, shit is stupid and I don't even like Bernie. the truth of the matter is do we want to live better or not, me personally I want to live better and I don't care how I get to that part. independent, republican, democratic, jewish, catholic, Baptist, atheist, I don't care I just want to live in a world that is getting things down and not somewhere like Turkey or Russia.

can we just work with the people we need to work with and get the job done.

1. Well put

I believe it's trolling.

[left-of-center2012]

2. IMHO: Bernie bashing will hurt us in 2018 and 2020

We need to look forward and work together.

[Maven]

3. You know what will hurt us in 2018 and 2020?

Giving too much power and a platform to someone who gives the side-eye to Democrats (unless they're his anointed peeps of course)

[okieinpain]

5. I can agree and disagree with you. no one should have all power

and having said that I think we gave Hillary Clinton to much power and a platform too.

[Vesper]

8. I'm sorry, but what do you mean?

Hillary Clinton was the winner of the primary, what power was she given? And why wouldn't the candidate get their platform? I thought it was weird that the guy who los was dictating things, but the person who won shouldn't have a platform?

That is not how American government works. What are you suggesting, that a winning candidate not have a platform or any say?

[nikibatts]

12. THAT!! But that will get an Alert!

[okieinpain]

23. the purpose of my post was to say enough

with who is the boss and who said they could be the boss, how about we get something done.

[trueblue2007]

14. silly comment .... she won against Bernie, he should have given "his power" to her.

Instead he kept it.

[okieinpain]

15. not silly, as it turns out it was stacked against him, but he could

have turned the other cheek and played nice. but my comment wasn't silly, Hillary was crowned king and as it turned out she didn't do as good a job as needed to be done. and yes I know about the Russian's still doesn't excuse her not campaigning like she needed too.

17. Neither Clinton nor Sanders will be on the ballot in 2020.

Vote Democratic.

[okieinpain]

4. +1 n/t.

[randome]

9. You know what else will hurt us? Supporting those who support abortion restrictions.

6. I just heard him say that on the sattelite radio the other day.

I don't understand the fuss being made here about Bernie and his own words.

I don't understand why he was attacking the GA Democrat (forgot his name), nor why he is supporting anti choices who were pushing forced ultrasounds and harassing women seeking abortions.

People supporting anti choicers are not doing anything to help quite a lot of us live, period, much less live better. I personally do care how we get to progressive ideals, if it must be through denying my basic rights, violating my trust with my doctor or state sponsored rape via unnecessary medical procedures, I fail to see how this is better than Turkey or Russia, where they are NOT doing this. This is not a world that gets things dow, this is so reprehensible that it is dystopian fiction, that not even the worst regimes engage in.

We need to look at the people we are working with and evaluate if tolerating such things really gets any job done.

7. It's fine to want to work with Bernie

But he shouldn't expect everybody to treat him as the head of the DNC either.

[trueblue2007]

18. he isn't the head of our party. He isn't even in our party.

How come it is bernie bernie. it should be ELIZABETH!! JOAQUIN !! ADAM !! EARL & RON & JEFF !! AL !!!

TAMMY !! NANCY !! MAXINE !! JACKIE !! JOHN LEWIS !!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

20. I agree

I feel like there is such a singular focus by the news media on Sanders that other (actual) Democrats are being routinely ignored (and then Sanders complains about the Democrats being weak)

[Orsino]

10. It's early days yet...

...the malcontents are few, and by the rules it's allowed. Sanders will have plenty of time to prove himself an ally of the party, and not just of the people. And of all the people, too.

[uponit7771]

11. another BS strawman argument

[trueblue2007]

13. I. JUST. WANT. HILLARY.

I STILL WAKE UP with deep feeling like something great is missing.

[okieinpain]

16. see i just want to live better n/t.

[Demsrule86]

19. I just want people to understand that neither Hillary nor Sanders are running again.

This unity tour is fighting the old 2016 battle...it should be ended ASAP.

[okieinpain]

22. agreed n/t.

[fun n serious]

21. He is the one who seems to want to let it be known. nt

24. Time to pass the torch to a younger generation

As my 25 year old neighbor says,
he wants someone who's not his grandparents age.
