I've been with him loudly and passionately, but won't be part of destroying this party in the fallEDWIN LYNGAR
Bernie should give a rousing speech at the convention and hammer hard at the party platform. Hes changed the conversation for a decade or more, but there is a fine line between supporting a candidate and adopting fact-denying, slanderous behavior that we rightfully condemn when its spewed from the right.
Im from this state and had many friends who attended the Nevada Democratic Convention, both for Hillary and Bernie. I was a precinct captain at the Nevada caucus. When my side won the caucus by a card draw, there were no hard feelings. Hillary supporters are my friends, family, coworkers and people I care about. My wife is for Hillary. As I watched the state convention implode, I was just relived that I didnt attend. There is no good, none whatsoever that comes from creating more hate and discontent in a nation already drowning in outrage.
Despite my warm, abiding love for Bernie, I can count. Hillary won Nevada, and she won the state convention. She has won more states and votes than my guy. Its sad, but Im not a poor loser. Nevada Bernie supporters are furious they werent able to wrest more delegates from a state that Sanders lost. We are better than this. Bernie and his movement have done great things, but all the hard word work and his important message will be lost if our country ends up moving backwards because of this petty, intraparty battle. This sideshow has taken the attention away from the real crazy.

(24,395 posts)St. Bernard's ego, his aversion to reality and his very apparent belief that he is entitled to the D nomination.
One does wonder what Sanders's reaction would be in his losing to Trump in a landslide. Would it be that the DNC rigged that election, too? Would it be that the state governments all conspired to participate in massive voter fraud? Would it be that Bill and Hillary were to blame for convincing Trump to run in the first place?
No, it would be that Americans are a stupid, immoral mob of people who ignore and even kill their own prophets, and who deserve all the shit our corporate masters heave upon us.

Like the grace HRC showed when she lost. She became a role model to her supporters at that moment!
I was proud of HER and I switched to Obama all the way!!! Proud of both of them! Proud of DEMS! lol!

(297,123 posts)she threw her support to Obama and wholeheartedly endorsed him.
Compare that to burnie who is losing supporters because he's "not an honest broker" anymore .. quote from Wonkette.
I was an Obama supporter, but I never trashed Hillary. Oh, I may have talked back to the TV a time or two, but I didn't hate Hillary. In fact, as a woman, I was torn. And I cried when she gave her concession speech. I cried again when she nominated Barack Obama at the convention, both for the stunning, unbelievable moment and for the fact she was so gracious and enthusiastic! It was then and there I pledged to do everything I could to see that Hillary would be Obama's successor. Now the time is here and I truly hope that Bernie will be just a fraction as gracious in defeat. (But I don't expect it)
Go Hillary!!

(521 posts)That's a good point. If Sanders wasn't in the picture at all, Hillary would've won the nomination long ago, and we Dems would've spent the remaining months of the primaries eating popcorn and watching the GOP self-destruct. It should've been a cakewalk for us this election, especially with Trump as the presumptive Republican nominee. Why oh why do Democrats often snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

Yes, Sanders LOST NV on February 20. Nice attempts at do-overs. But no.
