Damn....I just read the latest that Barbara Boxer smacked down Bernie Sanders

[Cali_Democrat]

Has she been tossed under the Bernie Mobile yet?

[JaneyVee]

1. Probably. If not, soon. That bus is never late.

[Wilms]

2. This post doesn't belong here.

It belongs in the shit-stirrer's forum.

-edited to add an apostrophe...ie: own it, turd-twirlers-

[stonecutter357]

3. Yes she has.

and it's disgusting

[speaktruthtopower]

4. Mistake..

to attack Bernie. He avoided attacking Hillary last night...signaling that there would be party unity in the end.

Not smart to risk changing that.

[Betty Karlson]

5. Very true. And sadly, the establishment is throwing caution to the wind at this time.

Something to do with a near-loss in Iowa, I guess.

[Nay]

22. Agreed. It's never very smart to hassle someone who has been civil

to you. It only makes you look like an asshole.

[immoderate]

6. Doesn't she warrant being taken seriously?

Or do we laugh her off?

[mcar]

7. You known she has

All the usual comments.

[whatchamacallit]

8. More authoritarian tallying?

Glad I don't need to validate or buttress my beliefs with the opinions of others...

[SheenaR]

9. We are to believe that you JUST learned this

since it's been talked about for almost a full day now. Your act is tiring.

[Stand and Fight]

10. So, now DU is supposed to turn against the ONLY senator...

So, now the Bernie Brigade on DU is going to expect everyone to turn against the ONLY senator who had the guts to oppose the electoral votes of Bush/Cheney in 2004? I'm not for Hillary or Bernie at this point, but sometimes Sanders supporters here would do well to TRY to have as much class as Senator Sanders has in his pinky. So much vitriol can't be good. Thank God Senator Sanders isn't that way.

This place is fucking nuts sometimes. Rather than pausing and reflecting, they want to attack Barbara Boxer now? Nuts. Just fucking nuts. People like that don't see any grey areas -- it's black and white. With them or against them. Sad.

34. If Boxer wants to dis the most liberal member of the Senate,

while laughingly claiming that Hillary is a "progressive every day", then she deserves to be taken to task for it.

[Hoppy]

11. --- another one that needs to be primaried.

D.W.S.,
Pelosi,
and now, her.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. Barbara Boxer is not running for reelection

So who are you supporting in the primary?

[jillan]

15. She retired. fyi. Not running for re-election.

Sad, she was (is) a great fighter for progressive ideals.
And no, I'm not mad at her that she supported Hillary over Bernie.

[jillan]

12. Barbara Boxer can support any candidate she wants to. It doesn't matter.

When the primaries are over she will be campaigning for the nominee.

As will I.

[DrDan]

14. not sure there is any room left under that bus

[Logical]

16. FFS, more little birdie crap? Nt

[Cheese Sandwich]

17. Hillary supporters will try to bait Bernie supporters into attacking popular Democrats

I saw a post that used lies just to try and bait Bernie supporters into attacking John Lewis.

Similarly some would love to start a thing against Boxer.

What she said actually wasn't that bad.

[VulgarPoet]

18. +1

[frylock]

24. It still had no basis in reality.

She's entitled to her opinion just as those who disagree with her are.

[unc70]

19. Remember Boxer's daughter married HRC's brother

[riversedge]

30. SO. Of what relevance is that?? BTW--they have been divorced since 2000. Update yourself and you

won't be posting crap

[djean111]

20. Does "under the bus" now mean "still supports Bernie no matter who endorses Hillary"?

I always read this phrase from HRC supporters, as if they have refined its meaning, and are hoping for the worst. Also, how many people can ACTUALLY throw someone "under the bus"? Not like all that many of us live in the same state and/or district or whatever.

I cannot think of any endorsement that would get me to support a politician who is in favor of war, fracking, cluster bombs, and increased H-1B visas, and the TPP. Even if Bernie dropped out, I cannot support a politician who is for those things. Used to be, of course, a politician who espoused those things would not have a "D" on their jersey.

[frylock]

26. Mild disagreement equates to throwing someone under the bus.

Yes, they have completely distorted the definition, much like they have with racism and sexism.

[SidDithers]

21. DU rec...nt

Sid

[frylock]

23. WHY ARE BERNIEBROS SUPPRESSING BOXER'S FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS!!?

[SheenaR]

25. I don't see anyone doing that

I see people pointing out she is incorrect. Sanders caucusing with the Democrats for 25 years and working side by side with Boxer on several issues shows me her flawed logic.

She can say what she wants. She's wrong.

[frylock]

27. Sorry

[SheenaR]

28. My fault frylock n/t

[frylock]

29. Nah, you're okay.

It can be hard to tell around here anymore. I can't believe some of the crazy crap being posted around here by supposed liberals.

[malokvale77]

31. It's amazing to me...

the way so many so called Democrats revel in the idea of a good man being "smacked down".

[Number23]

32. Damn, Cali... can I get some CONTEXT or something?

What did she say? What were the comments regarding??

[Cali_Democrat]

33. Here:

Bernie said Hillary wasn't a progressive and Boxer responded:
