Bernie is just exposing Clinton for who she really is, he isn't forcing rational progressives to be repulsed by what they find. We do that based on the what we see of Clinton; her lies; her corporate lapdog/whore ways.
Similarly, Bernie didn't take a chisel and force a fracture in the party. He just lifted up the rug and exposed the fault line that has been simmering ever since Turd Way Democratic Values have infected the party that courts "progressives" in its base.

(1,134 posts)God forbid, but if Hillary Clinton is selected at the convention, I really think Bernie should run as an independent. The rift that was there all along has finally been exposed, and I don't think we can go back.

My disgust with the party has nothing to to with Bernie, but the way the party is acting towards Bernie and his supporters has deepened my disgust. I will be "not affiliated", and I have been a Democrat for my entire (very long) life. The party left me, and I will not move to the right with it.

Easier to create one thread in response then to kick all the separate ones posted. Almost seems like Brock put out a memo today on what the meme for today was.

The server was vital to keeping their extortion racket off the government radar. Plain and simple. That disqualifies her for any and all elected office, let alone POTUS.

(9,385 posts)like the rest from HRC's side. It's all Rove ploys, irrelevant. That garbarge works for a short while, but not very long. With each one, she is found to be more and more of a liar.
