Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumIt's showtime folks. Just ask Ed.
Listen to Ed and Larry Cohen talk about how the CWA came to their conclusion. Very smart. 700K people had a voice in a bottom up result. The people have spoken. And 2M contributions. WOW
This is definitely huge. Maybe, just maybe, the MSM will start to listen.
Then Ed makes a point about this Saturdays debate. Corporate democrats - we're onto your rigged game.
Starts at 15:45

(13,877 posts)sitting on their proverbial hands...doing nothing. Let me guess why...they are corporations and are desperate for the Corporatist Candidate to win. The slogan, "Not the Billionaires", carries with it a threat to their 7-figure incomes.
It will be kicking and knuckle dragging even should Bernie rise even more, to give him much coverage.

I'm going to a Bernie party locally Saturday night to watch the debate.

(3,544 posts)I would suspect this is not true in most cases. When others are endorsed, I'm pretty sure it's the big wigs are making the endorsement, not the workers.
So why isn't this process in place for all endorsements? I mean, it's fair, honest, and accurately reflects "we the people".
I think we all know the answer.

I was never polled, and have been a member of AFSCME for 26 years. When I saw a post in a Discuss forum on endorsements (probably a link from here) I saw someone who stated that she was one AFSCME member for Bernie. I added my comment: So is this AFSCME member of 26 years. The next morning I saw over 100 "likes" between the two of us.
Even though a Clinton supporter here stated to me that there are more Clinton supporters in her neck of the woods than there are Bernistas, that it was good that AFSCME and other unions endorse Clinton.
I dunno, but the more I talk with folks, the more I find that they would rather have Bernie than Clinton. I am talking about Dems, Reps, and Indys. None of them want Clinton, yet they would vote for Bernie in a heartbeat!
Am I in a Bizzaro world, or what?
Update: I went back to the website with over 100 likes, and it is now up to 300. IN ONE DAY!

TWICE as many individual contributions as Obama had in 2008! Two million of them! That, my friends, is indicative of surging enthusiasm!!!
DFA has Bernie with 88% of the vote! Awesome!

(88,117 posts)That's how unions should endorse.
I am still furious over how the teachers' unions handled it.
Robbins
(5,066 posts)members don't support these endorsements.they cry bloody hell on social media.many support bernie over her.
union bosses can give union money to her but they can't force members to work for her and vote for her.
All the endorsements in the world mean nothing until people go to vote. Hillary has the big money in her pocket, but there are more of us than there are of them.
Feel that burn, turd way.

And they can now if this 1.1 trillion " last minute deal goes through" will chip away at this countries sovereignty
Rep Ryan with his talk with Schultz got it right, we the public want to know where are food is coming from, because even though this country has been eviscerating the USDA by the republicans, we want to know where our food is being produced and cleaned,
Great post -----------------------news instead of from the MSM ratings game
Honk--------------------for a political revolution it is about getting a progressive U.S. Supreme Court and Congress
