Enough, Bernie, enough: Sanders needs to hang it up
Editorial from the New York Daily News...
Sanders insists that he deserves powerful sway over the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton, whom he savaged during the campaign as an unqualified stooge of Wall Street.
As they say at closing time: Bernie, you dont have to go home, but you cant stay here.

Their words, not mine. Thing is, though, I agree with those words!

(7,820 posts)You guys keep thinking this was about the primaries and now the nearly half the party that supported Bernie are just gonna shrug their shoulders and go away. Not. Gonna. Happen. This is about long term change and reforming the system and the Democratic Party can embrace that or get left behind.

This isn't' about protecting the power status of the party. IF you think it is you are part of the problem.

(1,446 posts)Queen Hillary can either start LISTENING to the real progressives among the Democrats and championing their causes or watch them abandon her AND the political party that, apparently, abandoned them a long time ago.
And if you think Bernie is in this for the ego trip, I've got 2 things to say to you...
1. You don't know shit about Bernie Sanders.
2. Take a long look at your chosen candidate and tell me that she's just in this to help the 'little guys'. Go ahead,...tell me.........with a straight face!
