Related: About this forumTYT: MoveOn.Org Endorses Bernie Sanders
Another huge endorsement for Bernie Sanders. MoveOn.org is a massive grassroots organization sure to benefit any candidate they back in a Democratic primary. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"MoveOn is endorsing Bernie Sanders for president after the liberal challenger to Hillary Clinton won 78 percent of votes cast by its membership.
Ilya Sheyman, MoveOn Political Action's executive director, lauded Sanders for his run-away win and promised to help turn out voters in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire, where the group has 43,000 members and 30,000 members respectively.

They had a very democratic way of determining who they should throw their support behind. Maybe if you'd voted, you wouldn't have been moved to unsubscribe.

(5,811 posts)4. I did not participate in their poll.
i unsubscribed because I don't follow or subscribe to any forum or group that has endorsed Bernie Sanders.

(5,811 posts)10. I can see that. i don't like Bernie and hope he will not
be the DEM nominee. But if he is, I know i will have to vote my interest instead of my feelings. Meaning I would vote for Bernie.
