Imagine that, a journal that endorsed Bernie is now conspiring with his enemies to spread lies about chair-throwing. Boggles the mind!

I've been told time after time that Clinton doesn't need ANY of us dirty hippies who voted for Sanders.

We're "loony lefties" who don't belong in HER party.

when were we supposed to have turned Republican?

Because I am pretty sure I've never even voted for one...

But, I guess not preferring Clinton is, in their eyes, the very same thing as adoring Trump.

There it is, it was a few weeks ago that we were "far left wing" and dirty hippies.

snip

As for Sanders, he has every right, as Hillary Clinton said in 2008, to make sure the “people who voted for me [are] respected and heard.” Especially when he keeps winning the battle of ideas. Only last week Clinton abandoned her longstanding opposition to expanding Medicare—and called for Obama to drop plans to push through the Trans-Pacific Partnership in the lame-duck session of Congress. Does anyone seriously believe either of those shifts would have happened if Sanders had quit?


Thanks for posting the article, tiredtoo!

Drumpf wins so they can then BLAME "certain" Americans and say "told you so?"

Not many I hope.

Unless Bernie wins the nomination, which is possible.

Privilege is not worrying about the wars that Mrs Clinton will start or escalate. Privilege is being able to withstand cuts in social security. Privilege is being one of the people who will get rich when social security or education is privatized.

You can rest assured that most of the "privileged white people" will be voting for Clinton (or trump I guess)
