2. If you actually read Hillary's platform, you'd see we're not far off from those.

Instead of pretending Hillary Clinton is a crypto-fascist, ever actually checked out her policy positions?

[AgerolanAmerican]

3. Before dismissing that she is a crypto-fascist

Have you ever actually checked out her record of destroying entire nations and crafting proposals to allow corporations to supersede our laws?

[Csainvestor]

5. why do billionaires fund her?

the most disgusting and selfish people on earth fund her. do they just fund her for no reason?

[YouDig]

7. Because they are liberal.

[MariaThinks]

26. why do some stupid people support Bernie? It doesn't make him stupid.

[leftynyc]

37. That's ridiculous

Should I hate Bernie because some of the people who support him are loathsome?

[B Calm]

14. I can't believe she wants to legalize marijuana, stop fracking, going to war for

corporate interests, etc.

[Csainvestor]

21. she does not want to legalize

and she takes corporate money.

[B Calm]

22. Oh, I guess she lost my vote!

[rhett o rick]

17. LOL. You are miles away. Her "policy positions" that she has recently made up are even miles away

and I don't believe her at that. Where does she stand today on the TPP? I will tell you, she doesn't like the wording. I don't think it would take much "rewording" to get her approval. She loved the concept before the campaign started and now she doesn't like the wording. Not close on that one.

How about fracking? Does anyone know where she stands after her 5,000 word explanation of when and where she would be for it or against it on tuesdays and every other friday? She loved it before the campaign. Miles apart on that one.

Medical marijuana. One would think that would be an easy one. Nope, she will deny it to those that need it because "it needs more study". Really? I don't see any empathy there. Not close on this issue.

How about tough drug laws and stiff sentencing that she has always supported? Fill those Prisions For Profits and get those Super-Preditors off the streets and render them ineligible to vote. Read my sig line. Nope not close.

Min wage? She wants to keep min wages to below a living wage. Not close there.

Not close on the Iraq War support. On the Patriot Act support. On support of domestic spying.

There is a large chasm in our Party with the Progressives on one side supporting the 99% and the non-progressives supporting the 1%.

[Sparkly]

34. +1

[anotherproletariat]

4. Agreed...but these don't align with what Sanders has been preaching...and

he never laid out plans to implement any of his causes. It made his candidacy seem like a poorly planned, fringe movement, which turned many people off.

[Csainvestor]

9. the democratic party has done NOTHING for the middle class

College and daycare costs more than ever before.
Women DO NOT have paid family leave.
Health care costs more than ever before.

Seniors are living in poverty, while Obama and Hillary are against increasing the cap on social security taxes.

The democratic parts has become the party of the rich. Obama is not using the bully pulpit, and neither has Hillary to champion the working class.

Bernie brought all of these issues to the table, Hillary is funded by the corporate class, and the rich billionaire class.

[libdem4life]

11. There is truth here. He wasn't waiting in the wings. He got kind of sucked

into it because no one else would challenge her and the Democrats wanted their Coronation.

She had truly done her time and put lots of effort into the Party. The mistake, IMO, was not allowing anyone else in to challenge her. It created a vacuum for we Liberals and somehow Bernie became the one. I believe the fact that he Was Not a registered Democrat was the only reason she had any challenge.

At least he has years of governing and a clean record, comparatively speaking, to fall back on. Obama had nearly no experience...he'd won one Senate race? and he did OK. Certainly he got elected.

[PufPuf23]

36. You explained better than I the one fundamental error made by the

DNC and Democratic establishment.

By treating Hillary Clinton as an incumbent and presumed nominee, other Democrats did not enter the competition for POTUS.

This was compounded by the facts that many inside the Democratic party had a pre-existing poor opinion of Clinton and that Clinton is a poster child for neo-liberalism.

Bernie Sanders stepped up into a major vacuum and offered a refreshing look to antiwar liberals.

[libdem4life]

6. I'm not a Bro, but count me in. We're #1 in military crap and #24th overall.

That, to me, says it all. Hell, we wouldn't even need more taxes if we built fewer tanks and airplanes and bombs. Someday, that will sink in...or some group will make sure it sinks in...to our Check-writing Congress Critters.

And don't get me started on abandoning our Veterans.

[Armstead]

8. You didn't mentin the most horrific one

AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE.....Yahhhhhh! Head for the Hills!!!!!

[Csainvestor]

10. the list is endless

but i didn't want the hillary supporters to accuse me of being a unicorn loving pony.

[libdem4life]

13. ...

[potone]

23. I could tell you were in favor of miscegenation!

Ponies and unicorns, the horror! Almost as bad as voting for Bernie! Now that I have the vapors, I need to lie down, while clutching my pearls, of course.

[Txbluedog]

12. That's nice

Now tell me how that plays in a GE---when was the last time someone who promised to raise taxes was elected POTUS

[JudyM]

15. When the math shows you're getting more and paying less it's a little different than just

raising taxes.

[Txbluedog]

20. Yeah elections are won on soundbites

Bernie will increase your taxes---most people won't care why or if it actually benefits them

[timmymoff]

42. maybe a sound bite like the sniper fire she took

will help her. Or maybe the sound bite of her on and off southern drawl will help her. Or maybe the sound bite of her sayng she will " look into " releasing her wall st. transcripts will help. maybe the sound bite of her thirteen minute Iraq war speech will help.

[libdem4life]

16. Bush #1?

http://www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/george-bush/videos/read-my-lips

But he'll have his message honed better. It's a mixed bag. It won't be easy, but more honest.

[Progressive dog]

18. Free college for poor kids is

not what Bernie is campaigning on. That wasn't one of his proposals.
The rest of your demands are things that Hillary has proposed.

[Qutzupalotl]

25. Hillary proposed ending cannabis prohibition? News to me.

[Progressive dog]

27. Oh so all the demands weren't there

because they were stupid and the OP knew it. Very sneaky.

[Qutzupalotl]

28. And expanding Social Security?

Is that stupid too?

[Progressive dog]

32. When we can put a plan in 3 words

we don't have a plan, we have a slogan. Thanks Bernie.

[Qutzupalotl]

39. Dig a little deeper and you'll find

that lifting the cap is a much better plan than means testing.

Means testing is part of the Republican strategy to kill Social Security. Once someone is forced to pay into a system from which they can never benefit, they have standing to sue. Better to let everyone pay in and draw out rather than gamble the whole system in court.

[Progressive dog]

40. Bernie has lost, his ideas have lost with him,

he is now working at burying them in the dustbin of history.

[Qutzupalotl]

41. Now that's a slogan. nt

[Progressive dog]

44. No, it's an obvious fact

[Qutzupalotl]

45. His ideas will not die

now that millions of people know they've been lied to about what is possible.

[Progressive dog]

46. Demagoguery lives for ever and bad ideas

never die. That is a good slogan for the Bernie supporters.

[Qutzupalotl]

47. There will always be a place for good progressive ideas

except among authoritarians who can brook no dissent.

[timmymoff]

43. by proposed you mean evolved

[winter is coming]

19. Faker. You forgot to muahahahahaha as you were leaving. n/t

[FlatBaroque]

24. I have video of you at the Nevada convention

[B Calm]

30. Who could ever forget Bobby Knight. I remember watching that game.

[Jude the Obscure]

38. I was thinking the same thing

"Isn't that Bobby Knight?"

[coco77]

29. And...

no more tax dollars wasted on weapons that sit and collect dust while many Americans are living on the street..Affordable housing.

[rdking647]

31. simple question

If hillary is the nominee will you vote for her.

the only 2 people that have a chance to win this elections are the nominees of the dems and the gop.
that gives me the following options

1. vote for the dem nominee
2. stay home
3. vote for a third party as a protest vote

#2 and #3 make a trump win more likely. That I will never do

therefore I will vote for whoever is teh democratic nominee. period

[Vinca]

33. OMG . . . a screed from Lucifer himself.

[Codeine]

35. You predicted a 45 net delegate gain for Bernie in Oregon.

And a 100 net gain from OR, KY, and IN. Safe to say nothing you say should be taken seriously.

[Jitter65]

48. Tell it to your Republican Congress. nt

[BootinUp]

49. You don't achieve great things by pursuing DIVISIVENESS.

The battle for the nomination is OVER. Continuing to spread the anti-Democratic Party rhetoric is only going to LESSEN our numbers to fight the REAL enemy.

[NCTraveler]

50. Enraged Hillary supporter here.

Wait. What? Nope, not enraged and I like your list. Sorry it had to be followed up with the rest.

Grrrrr. Lol
