I’m not a Democrat, so I agree that the DNC should get fucked and needs serious reforms. But in the meantime, it ain’t changing before November. And as Bernie was running as a Democrat to be the de facto head of the Democrats, he understood the rules before the race began. I would take his complaints a whole lot more…

But that’s the sticking point, for me. Why? Why does “enthusiastic support” from a minority of Democratic voters override the wishes and “enthusiastic support” of the more enormous slice of Democratic voters who chose Clinton? Isn’t voting for someone the most enthusiastic form of support? Because if that’s the rubric…

And it’s strange that many of his supporters seem a-ok with that rigidity, knowing full well that it has completely destroyed the Republican party. It’s weird to imagine someone looking at the Tea Party and thinking, “Hm, maybe we should have one for the left?”

Did Obama do that? Kerry? Did Hillary turn into a right-wing asshole once she got in the Senate? Nope. She had a top ten liberal voting record. More so than Obama even. Yet, for some reason, her more than any Democrat that’s ever run, is going to swing right. No doubt in your mind, right? I’m sorry but I’m just sick…

Everyone has talked at length about the Iraq war. If the top comment here had been about the Iraq war instead of how the “narrative” around Bernie has changed, we’d be talking about that.

I can see that, totally. At various points in the campaign, Sanders or his surrogates have called out and potentially alienated some of the most progressive democrats—including my fantasy liberal boyfriend Sherrod Brown. Sanders’ ideological purity (which btw, dems should be cautious of—look what such purity tests did…

I shudder at the prospect of Sanders handling such a thing. And forget Trump.

This. I’ve been mansplained by white male Bernie supporters more times than I can count. My white male friends who support Hillary are gay and/or worked on her campaign back in 2008.

Get over the tired talking point that HRC is going to swing right. Just because she’s to the right of Bernie does not make her a soon-to-be Republican. It doesn’t even make her a moderate. Based on her positions, she’s one of the most liberal candidates to ever run for President and nothing based on her record as a…

Your final paragraph touches on some of the many criticisms his former colleagues have levied against him. It reminds me of when Barney Frank said that Bernie’s posturing and arrogance alienate his natural allies.

I’m saying this without animosity or snark—can you remember a past primary where the losing party expected to play such a major role in shaping the party platform as Sanders seems to expect? I cannot. Something about this line of thought strikes me as inherently hubristic. I mean, he lost. When has the loser dictated…

Preview of his convention speech:

A little slow on the uptake, there, Mr. Sanders, but you got there in the end.

Oh, I didn’t know it’s obvious statement day. I wanna play too!

He’s said he doesn’t want Trump to win.

Is it February 15th, 2016 already?

Bernie Sanders Realizes What Rest of World Has Known For Two Weeks.

So his entire campaign was just a long con just for a chance to speak at the Democratic convention? Well done Bernie.
