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.

Real revolutions are started by people facing true hardships: life-threatening poverty, violent corruption, gross injustice. They are not started by people experiencing relative prosperity who are just really, really upset that they’re not getting their way. This is not a revolution, it’s a revolution fantasy. Berners…
Sanders and Trump voters are the same but opposing ends of the spectrum. I don't think Sanders and Trump are alike but the base of their voting bloc are.
“But how, just how in the fucking world are my fellow Dems/progressives devolving into such rabid zealots. . .”
It does not even remotely surprise me that delegates didn’t show up. My husband and I caucused for Sanders in our state; the first time we’d ever gone to a caucus. Sanders won our state, and delegates were selected at the caucus. Neither of us volunteered to be delegates. We didn’t put our names in to be delegates,…
I missed this. Why isn’t this getting more press? What the fuck does that even mean?
it goes without saying that I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals. But
His organizational skills lack basic follow through at the primary level. How the hell is he going to manage to run a country? His go to for answering questions he does not like is to just walk away from them. But yes, he will totally be able to take on Congress!
Our campaign has held giant rallies all across this country
You’re probably right, but I’ve always thought that Sanders entered with the idea that he had no prayer of winning but just wanted to pull Clinton to the left and at least get these issues on the table.
I have been reluctant to blame Sanders as his supporters get more and more batshit in the face of inevitable loss. No more. The statement he put out on this is pure bullshit. You supporters got VIOLENT — they threw chairs, they issued death threats, they acted like spoiled Trump-supporting creeps, and the statement…
I swear to God these Bernie Idiots are like fucking Nazis! Seriously they are exactly like the Hitler Youth. Let’s see, shall we?
The lack of organizing has been the death of the Sanders campaign. They put all their money into huge rallies, TV ads, and internet presence. They trained no one. His supporters do not understand the process, so they’re all ready to believe whatever ridiculous conspiracy theory or imaginary delegate math scenarios…
Bernie really needs to tell some of his supporters to sit the fuck down. This is the type of shit that the Tea Party does, and it’s going to alienate supporters who are on the fence about him.
64 Sanders delegates at the convention were disqualified, according to the state party, either because they failed to show up, failed to register as Democrats by May 1, or because they didn’t respond to attempts to confirm their phone numbers or addresses.
