Who is this "we" which Sanders is referring to in the speech he is giving right now?

[CajunBlazer]

He keep saying that "we" are going to raise the minimum wage, we are going to do this, we are going to do that.... He doesn't get it - "he" is not going to do a damn thing!

[Jackie Wilson Said]

1. So if because of Bernie many of these things happen under President Clinton, he still

gets no credit?

Why do you dislike him so much?

All honest people must admit that much of what can happen now, is because of him.

[Ned_Devine]

2. Yeah, I'd love to hear that speech where he tells his supporters to stop dreaming

[NWCorona]

6. That's Hillary's job nt

[artislife]

25. Zing!

[CajunBlazer]

63. You can't even recognize sarcasm when you read it.

I guess we'll have to use the emotion from now on.

[artislife]

81. I think you need to look at NW profile.

It may spell it out for you.

And how did you magically get off my ignore list.

This is like the 6th one of you people.

[CajunBlazer]

83. I would love being on you ignore list

I could talk about you and you wouldn't even know about it to defend yourself. That would be fun. Take care of that would you.

[artislife]

84. See, you don't give a shit about issues

just ego driven posting.

I don't bother posting about you. No one would care.

[840high]

29. Bam!!!

[HassleCat]

3. Sanders "we" is Clinton "me"

One says we will do this, we will do that. The other says I will do this, I will do that. Neither is correct, I suppose. Take your pick.

[Cooley Hurd]

4. He is a trim tab in the Buckminster Fuller sense...

Like it or not, but Senator Sanders has impacted this race in most meaningful ways.

[KingFlorez]

5. He thinks that he's won the nomination

Let him have his fun.

[jazzwinders]

51. Lol!

[JaneyVee]

7. Downticket Dems. Oh wait...

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Why so angry?

Enough.

[bigwillq]

12. Was just going to post the same thing.

Sounds angry. No need for it.

How is your day going?

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Good. Started out with no orders... ended up with 3.

150 product descriptions.

6 category descriptions

and 4 buying guides. Yay.

How about you?

[bigwillq]

19. Oh, love when that happens.

LOL

At least you're busy?

I'm ok. At work now. It's kind of slow because it rained AGAIN here in CT. Thanks for sending the rain this way. Hope it's getting better down there with the weather.



Trying to find a cool political meme to post on Instagram. LOL

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. Any time I can help; it's sunny here now...

My new favorite is the Carly-Cruz holding-hands GIF

[bigwillq]

30. Hysterical

And I've watched her "fall" video like 1202 times and laughed every time.

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. Oh me too...

There's just too much good stuff out there. It's hard to keep up.

[bigwillq]

33. WE are cool people. WE are awesome. WE are funny.

WE care about other human beings. WE care about this planet. WE love. WE FIGHT for what is right. WE survive.

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. WE do...

...and always will.

The one great thing that I take away from all these years at DU, is a terrific friend.

[bigwillq]

36. Same here.

[CajunBlazer]

35. I'm not angry, but the man is knowingly lying to his supporters

Now if you are saying that his supporters know he is lying and don't mind - that's really sad.

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. Hmmm... you simply seem angry.

Internet message boards are not worth it. Take it from me.

[highprincipleswork]

9. Well if you don't want to do those things, then I can see your point in not wanting to be part of

the "we, the people" that will get that done.

[CajunBlazer]

37. You are not getting anything done

You supported a defeated candidate that is either lying to his supporters or lying to himself. I wouldn't mind one bit if he continued to press for his issues, but implying that he can still win is flat bullshit.

[highprincipleswork]

85. Enjoy your bitterness. I'll have none of it.

[Loudestlib]

10. If you want to hear more "I"s and "me"s switch to the Hillary speech.

[CajunBlazer]

39. She can say I and we, she is winning

Sanders, not so much

[Loudestlib]

43. She's winning democrats.

Independents vote in the GE.

[CherokeeDem]

11. All hat... no cattle....

I could give that same speech and get the same response.

Just once I wish Sanders would say how 'we' are going to accomplish all these things.

Same speech every time I see him... nothing new. He's tapping into emotion just as Trump is.... no substance from either one of them.

[Armstead]

16. Clinton is a master at word salad

She says in 300 words the exact same thing that Sanders can say in 50.....Hers is filled with all kinds of nice empty phrases that lack protein.

[CherokeeDem]

32. Why yes... she is quite articulate....

and she puts forth plans to solve the issues Bernie so glowingly pontificates about.

[Loudestlib]

45. Reminiscent of Palin.

[CajunBlazer]

40. It's easy to express grandious dream in a few words.

[yodermon]

13. "We the people of the United States", yeah wtf were they thinking n/t

[RadiationTherapy]

15. "We" are the millions of families who cannot afford a $500 emergency.

"We" are the millions of families with stagnant wages and negative purchasing power.

"We" are the millions of families crushed by health insurance companies who insert themselves between us and our caregivers.

And so on

And so on

[CajunBlazer]

42. You are probably rich, so you are niot part of the "we"

[RadiationTherapy]

65. You nailed it!

Whatever pumps your post count, dude.

[Ash_F]

17. Clinton would not even say she supports a $12 minimum wage if not for Sanders.

[CajunBlazer]

44. It's easy to say an old BS. Prove it!

[Ash_F]

48. She lobbied against a 61 cent minimum wage for Haitians.

[CajunBlazer]

58. You have provided no proof that's true.

And even if it were, what does that have to do with $12 minimum wage in this country. I will say right now that I am all for a $15 dollar minimum wage in China - what does that have what I support in this country?

[Ash_F]

61. Read about the story and learn about how it speaks to her interests.

http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-suppressed-haitis-minimum-wage/

[Broward]

18. The "we" doesn't include right-wingers so don't worry about it.

[CajunBlazer]

46. Are you calling me a right winger?

Of course from your prospective everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders is a right winger so probably you are.

[Broward]

62. Are you supporting Hillary because of her policy positions?

If so, you fit the bill.

[CajunBlazer]

64. Yes, I am looking forward to a third Clinton term

And fricking proud of it.

[boston bean]

20. LOL!

[Roland99]

21. Yeah...because voting for Hillary to maintain the status quo is SO AWESOME!

[Joe the Revelator]

22. "We" progressives. 'You' moderate republicans can get on board or not.

[CajunBlazer]

49. Hillary is going to be "your" candidate whether you like it or not

At least I didn't pick a socialist to support; if that makes me a moderate Democrat, so be it.

[Joe the Revelator]

70. She won't be 'my' candidate, but she has killed 'my' party with her personal ambition.

[CajunBlazer]

78. Well I guess it isn't "your party" anymore

unless you want it to be "your party".

Hillary is going to be President for the next 8 years even if not one of Sanders fans on DU vote for her. You have better get used to it.

Of course, even in your opinion it could be worse if Trump or Cruz were to win (of course they won't), but still, just think of all of the reasons you will be able to find to bitch about during her two terms in the White House.

[Joe the Revelator]

80. That's a shame. If you're right, and Hillary is the nominee, I'm fairly sure we'll get to pick a

real progressive in 2020 to beat back Trump's second term.

Luckily, we still have a chance right now to nominate Bernie.

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. ....As opposed to Hillary's "I"

[Blaukraut]

26. I look at it as a call to all of us to make it happen

Regardless of who wins the nomination. There are a lot of things to be outraged about, but this isn't one of them.

[NCTraveler]

27. Overall I agree. We is in reference to Democrats.

And Sanders will be a vote for us in the Senate.

[CajunBlazer]

53. If he isn't thrown out of the caucus if making too many demands for his support

Then he will truly be a man without a party.

[NCTraveler]

57. Clinton will have his vote on legislation.

It's been been around two months since he voted with the republicans on legislation. I do worry as he has been known to side with them on major pieces of legislation like when voted against a pathway to citizenship for over ten million people. But more often than not he will be a Clinton voter. Including in the GE.

[CajunBlazer]

74. I think he will push to get big concessions on all of his major issues

If he is smart he will settle for minor concessions which won't hurt Hillary in the general election. If he makes too much of a public stink, after the election he might well get his status in the Democratic caucus reduced dramatically. And if that happens his usefulness to the State of Vermont will be questionable at best.

[Peregrine Took]

28. Uh, heads up....you already posted that very interesting question~~

Might want to try a new one!!

[amborin]

41. "We" refers to Bernie and the voters, the people! Not the "I" this and "I" that

[CajunBlazer]

54. Exactly

And Sanders and his voters won't be doing anything if they don't get on the Hillary train.

[amborin]

66. Hillary and her supporters need to get onthe Bernie train!

HRC will not get the nomination. Moreover, she is under FBI investigation, initiated by the IG that Obama appointed. This is serious. She has violated a number of laws, the least serious being bypassing FOIA rules. But much more than that. Dismiss this at your own peril.

[CajunBlazer]

69. Not the ones on DU

Everyone of Sanders's supporters on DU could vote third party or sit on their hands during the general election and they wouldn't make up one thousand of one percent difference in the voting totals in any state. And that goes for the Hillary supporters on DU as well.

Let's not over emphasize the importance of anything said or done here. We are about as important to the general election as internet polls.

[slipslidingaway]

47. Bernie Sanders : How Change Happens

Thanks to Bernie93 for posting the video.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017365902

[CajunBlazer]

55. Tell me - what young socialist is going to pick up the baton when Sanders retires?

[slipslidingaway]

59. The shrinking middle class will pick up the baton, it is not about one person, hence the use of WE!

[CajunBlazer]

72. Sure, I know a bunch of socialist in the "shrinking middle class"

Just in case it isn't clear to you

But exactly which up and coming socialist politician will rise up to lead the "revolution" when Sanders is gone from the scene?

The "masses" don't lead the revolutions; they are rudderless without leaders. Who is going to lead the revolution?

[slipslidingaway]

86. Not sure why you think tossing out a label is more important than arguing for or against ...

an issue.

Leaders emerge that we cannot always foresee, it happens when people finally have had enough and take a stand. At some point a person emerges for their defiance to an injustice and people rally behind her or him.

That part of history is yet to be written, but we are seeing the beginning of the movement for economic equality.

[Nanjeanne]

50. WE the citizens of this country. Shouldn't Congress and our President be working

for us?

[CajunBlazer]

56. You are not representative "the citizens of this country"

Your candidate was outvoted by millions of vote and didn't even get the nomination.

[Nanjeanne]

60. Oh so Bernie Sqnders isn't a citizen then? Sorry didn't realize that. He and I have no

say I guess. I understand now. Citizens don't get to ask anything of our country. Mama Clinton will make all decisions. Her supporters will follow behind saying "thank you oh wise woman" and the citizens aren't allow to ask anything of our leaders I guess.

Thanks for the civics lesson. So valuable.

[CajunBlazer]

67. When people say "we" want .... and when thety say "we" the mean the entire country...

....they (you) are being disingenuous when it is clear that their positions are not representative of the majority of their fellow citizens. And that my friend is extremely clear. Otherwise your candidate would not have got his butt beat.

[Nanjeanne]

68. You asked who this "we" is. I told you. You don't like my answer. Stop lecturing me.

Don't ask a question if you don't want an answer. I'm sure you can have the conversation you want to have with the voices in your own head. Go Hillary!!!!

[CajunBlazer]

71. Then don't get upset when I find your answer disingenious.

Just because a question is asked doesn't provide you with some kind of magical immunity if your give a untruthful answer.

[Nanjeanne]

73. I posted my response. You tell me my response is crap. Since my response

is mine -- it really can't be untruthful but its amusing you need it to be. Hat I hear when someone says WE is mine to own. The word WE means citizens to me. Obviously not to you. But I don't hear with hillary ears.

UPSET? You overestimate your power over my thoughts. Magical immunity? You are wonderful really. I enjoy laughing and you have truly made my night. Thanks.

[CajunBlazer]

75. Okay, let's just say that I considere you 'misinformed" and leave it at that

[Nanjeanne]

77. Works for me. We doesn't mean citizens.

[CajunBlazer]

79. Never though it did

[bjo59]

52. Why bother to torture yourself by listening to anything Bernie says at this point? I certainly don't

listen to Clinton's speeches at this point. What's the point? We all know where we stand.

[Vattel]

76. you seem angry
