BREAKING! Bernie got an endorsement from a member of the Senate!!

[Chichiri]

Just kidding.

Bernie still has zero endorsements from his colleagues in the Senate.

[Perogie]

1. Hillary is still a warhawk

not kidding

[yurbud]

52. a million dead Iraqis, 30,000 dead Libyans, a military coup in Honduras...

[yurbud]

53. with a record like that, her Senate endorser do more to hurt themselves than help her

[seabeyond]

64. Sanders has not met a war, or a military budget he has not embraced, but one. And even that one,

He voted for it in all ways.... but one.

[Mika]

2. Ya think they want to kill the gravy train? Hell no! eom

[brooklynite]

9. So, how many of the opportunist Democrats will The Revolution (TM) be challenging?

[Mika]

15. Well, as for me, I'm working for the Tim Canova campaign to ditch DWS.

I really can't speak for the whole Revolution. Sorry.

[Beowulf]

28. I'm supporting Joe Sestak in PA and Donna Edwards in MD

Both are running against the party bosses' candidate.

[brooklynite]

34. Actually DSCC was ready to give support to Sestak...

...until he refused to take their guidance on campaign management and hung up on them.

[Beowulf]

63. Probably some history there going back six years or so.

He really got screwed over by the state and national party otherwise he might be running for reelection this year.

[brooklynite]

66. No, the other way around...

He pissed of the State Party by not coordinating any of his campaign efforts with them, and hiring family members as staff.

[Beowulf]

74. I thought he pissed off party leaders by refusing to drop out

after Spector switched parties. I would imagine when Spector switched parties he was promised party support to run for reelection. A lot of voters thought Spector switched parties because he was being primaried on the GOP side and thought his chances at reelection would be better as a Democrat. But Sestak stayed in the race and won the nomination.

Why Donna Edwards isn't receiving more party support is a stain on the party. Even the Congressional Black Caucus PAC endorsed her white, corporate Democrat opponent. I know the guy she primaried and beat to become a member of the House still sits on the CBC PAC board, so I suppose there's some payback going on. Last I saw Edwards was leading in the polls but has a severe disadvantage in campaign funds.

[Ned_Devine]

76. That's right! They got behind Spector out of some sense of duty or something

He lost badly and then died about a year later.

[brooklynite]

80. Sorry, what does Donna Edwards have to do about this?

This is an open Senate Primary; DSCC isn't playing favorites. If Edwards can't raise the money she needs (I turned her down; no point investing in a seat that's SAFE D), nobody to blame but herself.

[TheDormouse]

56. Ditto. They see no downside to endorsing him later, if HRC bombs.

They see plenty of downside to endorsing him now while it still looks like Hillary will take the nomination.

They realize they ARE the establishment he's fighting to change, and change is scary.

[virtualobserver]

3. as a motivational force against "unity" , you are doing a heckuva job.

[pangaia]

79. You also do NOT want to be in the Clinton's enemies list..

[Fawke Em]

4. Breaking: This election is about ridding ourselves of the establishment, so no one cares.

[atomingai]

5. To the trash it goes.

[villager]

6. I love the confidence this post exudes.

[cantbeserious]

7. HRC Is Still Owned By The Oligarchs, Corporations And Banks - Make No Mistake About Her Loyalties

eom

[riversedge]

12. While Bernie was repeating the same speech…

[HERVEPA]

39. Very pithy and intelligent comment. Hope you didn't have to strain too hard.

[MohRokTah]

42. Yo guys CRACK ME UP with that nonsense.

Y'all sound like Che himself!

[HERVEPA]

44. Oh, my mistake. Intelligent comment not your strong suit I guess. But great at copy/paste

[MohRokTah]

45. If you'd post something other than pure comedy gold, I'd respond without laughing.

Couldn't even make it through this one without CRACKING UP!!!!

[HERVEPA]

47. Are you three years old ..... yet?

[MohRokTah]

51. Add fifty to that.

You're never too old to crack up at comedy gold!

[HERVEPA]

60. Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant mental age.

[MohRokTah]

61. AND THE COMEDY GOLD JUST KEEPS ON ROLLIN!!!!!!!

[seabeyond]

65. Sanders Is Still Owned By The Oligarchs, Corporations And Banks - Like all mere politicians.

[cantbeserious]

70. Wrong On So Many Levels

eom

[seabeyond]

71. No. He protect F35 and lockheed, He does fundraisers for Wall Street, Banks and corps...

He has his Super PAC's

He is a politician.

[uponit7771]

8. Yeap, getting zero endorsements is notable

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. So how is that "unity" thing working out for you?

[Chichiri]

20. Not bad outside of DU, but around here . . .

I think satire is more productive. And certainly more fun.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. Your OP is not helping.

You are not promoting "unity" with satire and sarcasm.

[Chichiri]

25. Well I tried reason and logic.

To no avail.

If you think it would be worthwhile to give it another try, though, I certainly will!

[HERVEPA]

40. Uh, that isn't satire by the way, just stupidity.

[ScreamingMeemie]

69. It's pretty bad outside of DU.

I don't know why people think this is a "DU-based" thing... This massive split in the party reverberates across real-life interactions as well. My brother, who is pro-Hillary because he has an attorney for a wife and two daughters is currently not speaking to my Bernie-supporting dad. Neither participates on DU. Neither is particularly "involved."

It's a break between classes. It's not a clean break as there will always be those who fall to either side, but the majority of wealthy, upper-middle class friends and family support Hillary, while the majority of used-to-be-middle class, skilled and unskilled hourly workers support Bernie.

I'm not here to argue as I will vote for either, but that is clear to me outside of DU.

[Tarc]

21. Protip; the DU is not a microcosm of the average primary voter

[workinclasszero]

30. Thank God for that

[dlwickham]

37. preach!

[redstateblues]

86. Sanders' Supporters are so superior to the rest of us Democrats

They remind us every day with their condescending posts and badger us for not being smart like they are.

[riversedge]

11. Meanwhile its all #Hillyes

[CentralMass]

13. Because the monied interest and influence peddlers have either bought them or have the afraid to

step out of line.

[DURHAM D]

14. Wait. Stop the presses.

He does have one Super-D XSenator endorsement - Paul G. Kird, MA.

He had Ted Kennedy's seat for a few months.

Interestingly... he wanted to means test Social Security.

[Broward]

16. Fuck yeah, the corporate takeover of the Dem Party continues unabated.

The blue team rocks.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. More like they're afraid they won't get that nice campaign money

from the DNC.

[Lucinda]

18. LOL

[MohRokTah]

19. K&R

Can't wait until Elizabeth Warren endorses Hillary. I'm sure she will once Hillary locks it up.

[dlwickham]

41. all hell will break loose!

it will be fun to sit back and watch the meltdowns

[MohRokTah]

43. I think the Sanders bus will finally high center on that one.

[Cali_Democrat]

62. Warren has already been tossed under the bus by Bernie supporters:

--------------------------

by Tommy Christopher

With the Republican presidential primary devolving into a Jerry Springer episode shot on location at the Thunderdome, it’s easy to forget the sundry internal dramas playing out among Democrats. While there’s an obvious split between the Obama coalition that largely supports Hillary Clinton and the progressiver-than-thou wing that supports Bernie Sanders, there now appears to be a schism-within-a-schism developing between Sanders supporters and progressive saint Senator Elizabeth Warren.

At issue is Warren’s failure to endorse Bernie Sanders ahead of Super Tuesday, which supporters feel could have delivered Sanders a victory in the closely-fought Massachusetts primary. RawStory’s TBogg collected some Bernie fans’ reactions from Warren’s Facebook page:

Your unwillingness to endorse Bernie prior to Super Tuesday indicates to me that your fear of pressure from Hillary friends on Capitol Hill “trumps” your commitment to the progressive cause. I have lost faith in you and the DNC.

<...>

Is she really part of the establishment? How can she, as a representative of the people, as a self proclaimed progressive, not publicly endorse Bernie Sanders? Do you think she owes Clinton some political favors? hmmmm.

With every day that passes without your endorsement of Sanders, Wall Street rejoices, and the corporate owned Hillary Clinton is validated. Shame on you.

Sen Warren let all of the progressives down and the country by not endorsing us before Super Tuesday. With her help, we could have and should have won Mass. Why and what does she have up her sleeve???

Karl Rove’s money? Are you smoking crack? I love Elizabeth and would have supported her over Bernie had she chose to run, but I am deeply disappointed in her for not supporting Bernie when it mattered. She will lose ALL credibility if she supports Hillary at any point as Shillary is tied to Wall Street.

You have let all progressives down. Sanders can still win, but if he doesn’t that’s on you. And when Trump defeats Clinton that will be on you too. You’re a sellout. Your endorsement will not save Clinton and we will not vote for her. It’s worthless now

.

Warren is a wuss. Her silence will not be forgotten.

[Doctor_J]

24. I was hoping Kissinger would endorse him

but alas, Henry's soul mate is running against bernie

[jonno99]

26. You're mean! nt

[workinclasszero]

27. Got me!

Well played OP

[LAS14]

29. Clever, Chichiri!

[whatchamacallit]

32. Badge of fucking Honor if you ask me

But if having the endorsements of thieves and liars floats your authoritarian boat, sail on.

[wendylaroux]

33. brilliant!! so your working for the Stein vote?

[dlwickham]

35. meanie

[wendylaroux]

38. Stein

[HERVEPA]

36. Wow, what an asshole post!

[Onlooker]

46. What's the point of this kind of obnoxious post?

All you're doing is being mean, by getting the hopes up for Bernie supporters, and then letting them down. Why?

[arcane1]

49. To be a childish prick, it seems.

If there's a better answer, I'd love to hear it.

[Avalux]

48. You're not doing your candidate any favors with this crap. n/t

[berni_mccoy]

50. This is another prime example of why there will be no Unity for Democrats in the General Election.

[nadinbrzezinski]

54. Your work to unify the party, has been noted

[yurbud]

55. How many millennials are voting for Hillary? Corporate Dems are relying on dying demographics

Eventually, their cancer will be starved of votes the way the GOP is now, and hopefully they will die out of the party before they kill the whole thing.

[Chichiri]

58. 52% to 19%.

In the general election against Trump.

[LW1977]

77. Doh!!!!!!!!!!

Pesky facts!

[yurbud]

89. it's still the primaries.

[yurbud]

96. good job sticking to the new taking point

About the primaries being over.

[NurseJackie]

57. Ha! :-D

[coyote]

67. Thank god he hasn't

At least I know he is on the right track. Establishment people do not endorse non-establishment people.

[choie]

68. You're a nasty piece of work

M/t

[pinebox]

72. My ignore list gains another

Meanwhile.....

As fitting as it gets.

[Chichiri]

73. Bernie as Moses. I really should stop being surprised. nt

[basselope]

75. We know... Senators LOVE their Pac money!

[WiffenPoof]

78. Nothing Pisses Me Off More...

...than misleading thread titles. They come up constantly and are a complete waste of time. This title is particularly wrong.

[Matariki]

81. GD:P kind of sucks

With snarky posts like this. Welcome to my ignore list and so forth.

[femmedem]

83. Congratulation! You managed to post something even uglier than the OP.

Way to alienate Sanders supporters.

[LonelyLiberalOhio]

84. I sent an alert about this. Clearly misleading.

Yea OP YOU SUCK.

[PaulaFarrell]

85. you're nice, aren't you?

Just kidding.

You are not nice at all.

[w4rma]

87. Practically the entire Senate should be voted out of office and replaced. (nt)

[snowy owl]

88. You mean THE ESTABLISHMENT? Like faux-progressive Sherrod Brown?

Like "Progressive" Sherrod Brown- not. Some people are just too propagandized to get it. In the end, even Brown turns out to be a disappointment and certainly not progressive.

[DesertRat]

90. How does he expect to get anything done

if his Democratic colleagues in the Senate don't support him?

[ecstatic]

91. The fact that NOT ONE of his colleagues is willing to vouch for him

after decades of working with him on the hill, it's telling. Talk about red flags!

And let's not use the "Clinton's are so powerful" excuse. These are the same folks who turned on Clinton back in 2008 to support a senator with not even one full term under his belt.

Again, this lack of endorsements says a lot. It tells you how effective a Sanders presidency would be.

[DesertRat]

92. And many of them are superdelegates

Who Sanders is counting on to change their support to him....

[Luminous Animal]

93. Let's see… They are beholden to corporate cash to maintain their seats. They are, for the most part,

multi-millionairres. They vote, regularly to enhance their probability to enhance their own wealth.

Obama gave zero threat to undermine their wealth and power.

Bernie does. Even so, Obama's congressional endorsements were woefully thin compared to Clinton's/

[uponit7771]

95. all of them?! really?!

[jfern]

94. Actually he got an endorsement from his colleague former Senator Paul Kirk D-MA
