Personally, I'm glad the people have a squeaky wheel.

The Sanders run has become quite a study in human pyschology, especially in the reactions of the ruling elite and their echo chambers in the media. As we approach the end of it all and the convention, we will see if it brings forth any fruit for the distressed and disenfranchised in this country. One thing for sure is, nothing will have done so without this run and the conversation would not have had some of the issues that need discussion.

If sanders keeps up this charade that the party is corrupt, primaries are rigged. Adding fuel to the fire when he aint got one snowballs chance in hell of becoming president.

I hope it will be worth it to you all for him to keep that crap up.

If it does bring harm to those never listened to, then those in charge will have ignored the squeaks.

4. Good luck with a republican president (TRUMP) that won't listen to one fucking thing you got to say.

But if that is what you think it takes, to punish people you feel are so horribly misrepresented in the Democratic Party, foolishly I may add, by destroying those who actually do care in some quest for purity and allow the party you know to be against everything you believe in to control the presidency... well... carry on.

and look how freaked out the entire establishment is about this advocate for the common good. He's violent! Damaging! Why won't he just go away! Leave the race before CA!

Unbelievable hysteria towards someone who just thinks we should share the benefits of our wealth a little bit more.
