I love the idea that you think Hillary is too conservative. What are you? Mao? The Liberal, Progressive party is so radical left that they/you think Hillary is too conservative. Scary shit.........

You’re an idiot. And you expect people to be okay with it because you’ve got a reason. Sorry, your reason is fucking childish.
Bernie and his team wanted—nay, demanded, like it was somehow deserved—the support of a massive political entity that he has, for 26 years, refused to be a part of. He spent a quarter of a century telling the Democratic party to fuck off, and now when he wanted their help and support, no surprise, he didn’t get it.…
Name checks out. More substantively,
There are two things about Sanders’ rhetoric lately that are really frustrating me and both center around the fact that he has openly talked about not being a Democrat and only running as a Democrat because it allows him to reach a broader base than running as an independent:
By this reasoning, Sanders is more flawed than Clinton because he earned the votes of far less people in the Democratic primaries. Which are held for the express purposes of deciding who’s the best person to be the President of the United States!
...do you mean the asshole Bernie supporters that are currently clogging up my feed/life? Because no, they don’t need a raise, most of them are very well compensated.
The really pathetic part of this whole thing is Sanders (and his supporters) railing against Clinton for taking soft money, when he’s doing the essentially the same thing by only using the Democratic party when it’s most beneficial to him as a politician. He could afford to run independently for Senator from Vermont,…
I was wondering when the progressive Tea Party would show up. This may be the nascent stages, where they begin organizing primary challenges to politicians who are viewed as insufficiently progressive. We’ll get our own Sharon Angle, Todd Akin, Richard Mourdocks up there and fuck up winnable seats in Congress.
I like your spirit. I also like the idea of having a shot in hell of a more liberal leaning judge being named to the SCOTUS. Ergo, fuck all that.
The way I see it is none of this matters; the Democrats could have an overripe banana on the ticket and I’d still vote for that over Trump. Clinton doesn’t have to EARN the votes of Bernie supporters; she just has to point at the alternative and let common sense take over.
Nobody seems to understand that local elections are at stake in this election. If these BernieBros were there to impact the democratic process, not raise sh-, we’d hear a different tone. So they’ll whine about sh- and not bother to get themselves and their community to vote.
Gore won the popular vote, homie.
This is a reasonable and correct take and has no place in Kinja.
Here’s my message to Bernie supporters, the precious snowflake Millennials:
I’m fine with Bernie staying in the race to accumulate votes and show Democrats that there is broad, national support for a progressive agenda. I am not alright with him staying in the race in a desperate bid to win.
Bernie’s current strategy is to flip super delegates at the convention, convincing them to go against the winner of both the popular vote and pledged delegates...sounds oddly like what he has been complaining about the whole time
I’m sorry, I have to say something. I’m a Bernie supporter, and a longtime Jezebel reader, AND I was there in the room. I shot some videos that have been aired on major networks, and I actually have a relatively neutral perspective.
Does it honestly not bother you that Bernie supporters are sending death threats to a woman who, as far as I can tell, was just doing her job? I get wanting to have positive coverage of your preferred candidate, but any coverage of the event that leaves out the booing and death threats is still pretty slanted - it’s…
The missus smacked me around a bit for the 3rd time in our 17 year marriage -i never even raised a finger -ever!
