If the current polling holds, Sanders will face an insurmountable lead. He won't just need to win every state left, but he'll need to win them by margins that may not be possible even in an uncontested race.

This post spells it all out. Nobody is winning CA with 87% of the vote, which is what Bernie will need if things don't change.

He's run a very impressive campaign, and he deserves to stay in as long as he needs if doing so helps him be to be sure his issues will be appropriately represented by Clinton in the general. He's earned that right and I certainly wouldn't oppose anything that keeps attention on our candidates (as opposed to the virtual car crash on the GOP side).

I am supporting Bernie and if he does not win, I will leave it to her supporters to get Hillary elected to the presidency.

I am 72 years old. I have seen the corporate world from the inside. I will not vote for a corporate candidate like Hillary. Never, ever, ever.

But, Greens, Democratic Socialists, Democrats, and left-leaning independents should be able to openly discuss things without this type of control management being exerted.

Fri Mar 4, 2016, 07:14 PM
Mar 2016

From Daily Kos folks about whether I am still here at DU, and whether there is tyranny or freedom.

I also am getting some secret stuff about how Hillary cannot survive until September. There is a scandal or something worse than a scandal, about to break forth. (This information is not related to RW web sites, but instead to remarks made by some of the witches and shamans my husband is involved with. When South American juju experts say her future is BLACK, and they don't mean African American, one has to listen, if one is psychically inclined.)

Also Katy Perry revealed that she received some $ 70,000 to throw her support over to Hillary. that might explain Olivia Wilde's statements when she was on Colbert the other week. When asked about who she was supporting, Wilde said very briefly, "I am a Hillary Supporter."

When Colbert, who is also adamantly for Hillary, queried her, she said, "I have my reasons." The pair then locked eyes, and I was left wondering:

1) How much did Ms Wilde receive?

2) How much did Colbert receive?

Fri Mar 4, 2016, 06:21 PM
Mar 2016

that I wish we'd see more here. It's just as important as who running for president.

That means, we will focus our attention not just on Donald Trump or his rivals, but also on the Senate, the House, and state-level races. If you want the most liberal government possible, we aren’t going to get that this cycle in the White House, but we can keep building the bench down the ballot so that come 2024, we have lots of great liberals to choose from.


this is important:

There is much to unite us: There is near-universal hatred on the site, from all camps, for Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her mismanagement of the Democratic National Committee. Her resignation is a priority.

There is strong agreement that our primary process is broken and must be reformed—caucuses are a travesty of democracy (and both sides won their share, so it’s not a partisan issue), and a calendar that gives Iowa and New Hampshire dibs on winnowing the field, while most Democrats won’t have a real say, cannot continue. It does no one any good.

There is strong agreement that we need to reform the Super Delegate system. The idea that a group of party elders could overturn the will of the party voter is deeply offensive and undemocratic. (Add to that, I’d close all primaries, because why should non-Democrats have a say in who the Democrats nominate? But I get that’s a more controversial position.)



As for the Bernie v Hillary thing. He clearly states that if Bernie is still competitive than the primaries continue.

Do you know what else we all agree on? The Supreme Court… Even assuming the worst crazy shit people say about Clinton, fact is the next president will get to determine the Supreme Court’s direction for at least a generation, if not longer than that. It will be a new liberal Supreme Court that will overturn Citizens United, that will protect voting rights, that will protect labor unions, that will end partisan gerrymandering, that will undo the myriad roadblocks to citizens participation in our democracy...


I'll wager HRC achieves exactly zero of the above, if elected. At least with Bernie we had a dim possibility.

68. Not exactly: "IF Sanders eats into Clinton’s big delegate lead by March 15, then we carry on."
Fri Mar 4, 2016, 06:50 PM
Mar 2016
As of today, Hillary Clinton has 596 delegates to Bernie Sanders’ 407 (not including Super Delegates, because fuck them they don’t count). That is a 59.4 to 40.5 percent split. Over the next two weeks, By March 15, nearly half the delegates will have been awarded. By all indications, Clinton will expand that delegate lead.

If she doesn’t, and Bernie Sanders overperforms expectations and the polls, then congrats to him, this primary continues! But if he continues to fall short, the math becomes prohibitive. If your state hasn’t voted, don’t sweat it! You can still vote for whoever you want when it’s your turn. But don’t get upset that your vote doesn’t matter. That’s the way the primary calendar works. Iowa and New Hampshire’s votes matter the most for no rational reason, and everyone else gets to pick among the scraps until the scraps are gone and the math is determinative. It’s a bullshit system, but it’s what we’re stuck with. We can all work to change it next time around.

To reiterate, if Sanders eats into Clinton’s big delegate lead by March 15, then we carry on. But if he doesn’t, then on March 15 this site officially transitions to General Election footing. That means, we will focus our attention not just on Donald Trump or his rivals, but also on the Senate, the House, and state-level races. If you want the most liberal government possible, we aren’t going to get that this cycle in the White House, but we can keep building the bench down the ballot so that come 2024, we have lots of great liberals to choose from.

for him. He doesn't have any really bad states after March 15. Kos chose that threshold so that it would sound reasonable to the uninformed, but that Bernie would have no chance of meeting it. Really pathetic move by Kos.

Which means I've already cast my most meaningful vote for the Presidency as TX goes reliably Red. So I can vote for Bernie no matter what. It sucks that so many liberals want to help Clinton and the DNC end the primary prematurely.

69. DKOS, devolving into a HRC propaganda site.
Fri Mar 4, 2016, 06:52 PM

I am wondering if they were paid off.

I can understand doing this once a nominee is firm. But March 15?

This is nothing but a blackout of half of the Democratic party when we're in the middle of a primary.

Bernie could still win. Yes, it's a long shot. However, it's possible.

This is censorship and its designed specifically to disappear Bernie voices and give the appearance that Hillary has more support (and less opposition) than she does.

I'm thinking that it's high time that people get together and start their own discussion websites that are not so blatantly acting as PR devices for Hillary Clinton. Because that's EXACTLY what that site will become.

He even told people they couldn't use the word "neocon" as it relates to Hillary Clinton. Good God. Let's specifically mention how important it is to cover up her war engineering. Truly unbelievable.

They know we congregate online, and aren't influenced by traditional media that has been carefully been washed and filtered by campaign contributors. So, the next stop is places like this. There can be no sign of debate for the anointed one.

I guess the point has finally come when a candidate has tested the limits of the corporate gravy train, and we can't have that. Free thought. Free speech. It's no longer welcome. Not even in the democratic party. So if you don't mind, please protest in the "free speech zone", away from the cameras, and out of sight from anyone or anything you are actually protesting. And please disable your internet and camera, while we try to block any competing message. Because, 'Murika. GWB HRC does it matter? Do we matter?

have used the internet for our campaign from the beginning now they want to cut us off from that source. IMO anyone who operates a sight on the internet should refuse to be bought off - this is like all the other attempts to close free speech on the internet down.

If they do that before the end of the primary here on DU I already have several places that I know will not sell out. In no way should this site take our freedom from us after telling us from the beginning that they were for it.

Yet the party keeps moving to the right. We have lost a little more of congress each time. So is silencing dissenting voices the right answer?

Delaware
Maryland
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Indiana
Guam
West Virginia
Kentucky
Oregon
Virgin Islands
Puerto Rico
California

FUCK THAT NOISE.

I hear Honduras is nice right now. There he could experience the results of Hillary's SOS policies first-hand.


That site of his is SO FUCKED UP with so many scripts and ads, I can't even get the pages to load anymore. No great loss here.

151. Kos is only nominally a "journalist." In some ways, given his...
Fri Mar 4, 2016, 08:35 PM
Mar 2016

...lack of even a shred scientific knowledge or respect for subject as experimental as opposed to ideological procedure , he may fit the profile of an American journalist; if I'm correct he may have a degree in journalism. (This would explain his scientific ignorance, since I've long suspected that in America one cannot get a journalism degree if one has passed a science course.)

Nevertheless all of the touchy Feely stuff aside, he makes it very clear that he owns his website.

Now personally I happen to agree with Kos - and for personal reasons I have zero respect for him - that some of the contempt for Ms. Clinton is way over the top, but I say that as a person who trembles at the thought of the worst racist president since Woodrow Wilson, a putative President Trump.

I have been banned at Daily Kos for stating a truth about a obvious consequence of a scientific paper written by a prominent climate scientist to whom Kos and his waterboys used to appeal often (albeit in a less than comprending way) but as I'm sure Kos would happily point out, it's his web site and he controls for better or worse what can be said there.

Now. I can't apologize to him for telling the truth nor am I compelled to have any respect for him - I have a low opinion of him and I'm quite sure in my own way that as hard as he works for Democratic victory he's more a partisan than a person concerned with humanity but that said...

You have plenty of places on the Internet where you can express your opinion that Ms. Clinton is the reincarnation of Elena Caucescu if you really think as much - and I profoundly disagree with you on that score if in fact you think that. Although I don't like the guy and have little if any respect for him, I certainly understand where he's coming from having held my nose to go to the post to which you object.

Do what I do if you despise Kos. Ignore him.
