Related: About this forumOne thing I can guarantee when Bernie wins. I will not call Hillary supporters losers.
That would be juvenile and unproductive. Plus, we will all be winners if Bernie wins even if they don't know it.

But Sanderss shots at Clinton havent inflicted much damage this time around, largely because theres so little breathing space between the two candidates on foreign policy. Both Clinton and Sanders are seasoned interventionists, often advancing their hawkish policies under the ragged banner of humanitarianism. (See: Queen of Chaos by Diana Johnstone.)
Sanders supported Bill Clintons war on Serbia, voted for the 2001 Authorization Unilateral Military Force Against Terrorists (AUMF), which pretty much allowed Bush to wage war wherever he wanted, backed Obamas Libyan debacle and supports an expanded US role in the Syrian Civil War.
Happy reading!

(1,473 posts)Hillary has won and Bernie's bunch is calling us losers anyway. So I seriously doubt that would be the case.

(1,473 posts)I realize this concept is foreign to Berners but voting is the system used to elect a nominee.
Hillary is kicking the pants off of Bernie in popular vote, pledged delegates and SDs. and there's no chance there will be enough SDs to turn in his favor as has been explained numerous times. its a math thing...and you can't beat the numbers
oh yeah , that and the latest polls show Hillary beating Trump by double digits. Its posted in HG right now. Its not that I care about polls, it just blows Bernard's argument of polls showing that he is the only candidate that can beat Trump sky high.
That's okay.
Hillary still won and there's not a darn thing Bernie and Co. can do about it. .
Pack up some pop tarts, Funyuns and protest your little hearts out.... so cute.
bye!
