Because she didn’t. Sanders proposed the debate. She never agreed to it. Bernie doesn’t get to have whatever he wants just by demanding it. That’s not how life works unless you are a toddler.

She refused a debate with Bernie because she’s ready to move on to Trump. for Bernie to entertain this idea without her, shows how delusional, clueless, and arrogant he is. There isn’t debate without Hillary as bold as his ideas are.

If Trump wins, I’m blaming this on Bernie supporters. It’s bad enough he’s losing because all he ever did was promise golden eggs to everyone, but that he’s continuing to cause a drift with democratic support is fucked up (pretty sure he would want all those Clinton voters later if he were ahead in the polls).
Unless…

Does he have progressive support now? His followers keep threatening to support trump or at least not help the democrats win if they don’t get their way.

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.…

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’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.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS! I am so sick of all the “white feminists” on here being absolutely appalled that “we” are voting against our own interests. It can be great to have pipe dreams when if they don’t succeed, you’re just fine in your little bubble. Some of us can’t take that chance.

Hillary’s response is actually something people need to take seriously. She may not have said it in a good tone, but she has a point. One of the best ways to get a more diverse political presence is for people to get out there and run for office. It at least gives voters the opportunity to vote for someone other than…

If I just went by what I read on this site/the comments on this site, I’d think she was worse than all the Republican candidates combined. As much as I enjoy this site... I may have to peace out until what? June?

As a Latina also supporting Hillary: expect nothing but contempt from white commenters here. They know what’s better for us and they are baffled that we dare to think for themselves and have reasons to vote for Hillary. How can we? They know what is better and they don't agree. We must be ignorant!

Please do elaborate on my interests? Because Income inequality isn’t fixing racism and the supposition that it will is ignorant as all hell. Like it’s literally infuriating. As is the fact that Sanders voted for the same crime bill that they like to throw in HRC’s face. I’m old enough to remember the crack epidemic…

I think the aide was trying to “defuse” rather than “diffuse” the situation.

I’m black and voting for Hillary. #SorrynotSorry. I don’t find this condescending at all. Why don’t you get in government IS the right answer. I’m so tired of all these whiny people running around complaining all the politicians are in someone’s pocket or are “UNAUTHENTIC” . GO BE A POLITICIAN Then. That’s an…
