(1,309 posts)We Bernie people think for ourselves. We are not groupies following celebrities. We are not Obamabots supporting him without thinking. We look at the issues and make our judgements. In our view Bernie is right on the issues. Hillary is not. Thank you for pointing out the intellectual laziness of many Hillary people. This is a poor reflection of our society.

(4,106 posts)Have been voting for the lesser of 2 evils my entire adult life. For once I have someone I can feel good about. Someone who has been true to democratic principles his whole life. Someone who is honest and doesn't need to exaggerate to win over voters. Someone who wants to repair the damage Bill Clinton did when he repealed Glass Steagall. Someone who isn't scared to vote no about going to war. Someone who actually wants to protect the working class more than break a glass ceiling.

(6,199 posts)that so many of these "independent thinking thinkers who think independently for themselves" keep parroting the exact same words and phrases, most of them borderline or full-on RW propaganda.
Things that make you go hmm...

Take these lists. Compare them to 2008. Then list how many quickly moved to Obama, after she dropped out. Now that would be a list to view.
Amimnoch
(4,558 posts)Oh wait, in 2008, during her entire campaign, she never amassed 1/5th of the number of endorsements that she already has.

BUT, if that is what lets you sleep easier at night. Knock yourself out.
I know many on your side put such high hopes on those cute internet polls, nice turnouts for his speaking events, so I can understand why the shock is to much to bear as reality is finally settling in.

(3,544 posts)You apparently like oligarchy, and all the wonderful things associated with it.
Well, I don't.

With HRC, there will be very little forward progress, and she gives good speeches.

(36,649 posts)And these endorsements absolutely destroy the Berniestas idea that she's any bit of a conservative or Republican.
Amimnoch
(4,558 posts)It's her policy, and record that does.
Now, to say that many of those progressives in that MASSIVE list who do support her, do so for that very reason would be a more astute statement.
I mean really, just because Ben Cohen supports Senator Sanders doesn't make him any more of an ice cream maker either!

(168 posts)The political establishment might like her but among a good portion of the electorate there is not much enthusiasm and if anything a complete disdain for her.
In other words, she's a loser in the GE.
And I might add and something to consider, Sanders can win without previous Clinton Supporters, but Clinton cannot win without Sanders folks.
Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)With Clinton you can look forward to lots of disdain towards Sanders. Right now they are working on preventing Clinton from winning the nomination because they would have a much easier time defeating Sanders in the GE.

(168 posts)1. Young voters & independents will come out for Sanders, but not for Clinton.
2. Sanders has an overall favorable standing throughout the country; Clinton does not.
3. Sanders does not carry the baggage into the GE that Clinton does.
And who's preventing Clinton from the nomination?
The mainstream media? Sure, I didn't see her cut off on a reply repeatedly in a debate on an obscure Saturday night like Sanders was.
And Fox News? They would love to have Hillary as the nominee.....She's "easy pickings"
If she is the nominee, it won't take much time to figure this out.
Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)To vet Sanders they will produce the baggage, it is there.

(168 posts)I guess that's what you get with a 74 Year Old.
Anyway, I do have to tell you I'm from TX & met & supported Richards enthusiastically.
And nothing against you, but I don't think she would have been too happy with what the Clinton's have been about in the last 10 years.
Somebody who was such a "Straight Shooter" like Ivins, I believe would have a problem with how they currently operate.

(30,058 posts)Daughter Cecil Richards is the head of Planned Parenthood which just endorsed Hillary. Ann Richards knew the Bushes. Since she passed away in 2006 she also saw the investigations of the Clintons.
andrewv1
(168 posts)and they shouldn't of endorsed anybody with the situation they are in.
It's kind of like when you put it out to the members of Unions instead of the executives...The results seem to change on who they should support.

(937 posts)Clinton is ahead on another key measurement:
Voters say 59 32 percent, including 86 10 percent among Democrats, that she has a good chance of defeating the Republican nominee next November.
