Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumIt Looks Like Hillary Supporters Are Now Working Against Her .....
I just read a post here where Hillary said to CNN that she'll work together with Bernie on the Dem Platform and she came off sounding sincere. Two posts down from that in a Hillary Group post - her supporters were very nasty in a post taking shots at Jane Sanders and by proxy Bernie.
IMHO that's a hellava way to try and win the cooperation of Bernie Supporters here if her supporters can't get behind Hillary and echo her same sentiments. Instead they remain negative making it hard for Bernie supporters to come around and support Hillary should she become the nominee.
As such - they are sending mixed messages that make one suspicious as to whether to even take Hillary at her word.
So if they think that everyone should rally around her for the GE they need to get on the same page as her otherwise they will continue to do damage to a coming together of sides.
Myself - I'll follow Bernie's lead when this comes to a head. I just think Hillary supporters should do the same and start following the lead of their candidate.

(5,402 posts)I'm leaning that way myself, especially as I've seen her true colors shining through so many of her bully supporters.

(14,255 posts)any thing from Bernie's platform is, I gotta say, a delusional fool.
Hillary wants Bernie's supporters and his money and his grassroots organization. His email list. That is ALL she wants.
She is pretty clear that she will not change any of her stances or policies for him - the only time she is being honest.
I believe, if it came to that, Bernie would tell us all to support Hillary. The thing is, for me, I support Bernie, because of his ideas and policies. He is a wonderful human being. But he cannot get me to support Hillary and her Third Way hawk self. Bottom line for me.

(3,343 posts)All the Clintonites on here have claimed to not be willing to support Bernie because of unicorns etc. If Clinton starts selling the same unicorns they'll have to admit that those unicorns aren't unicorns and they were lying this entire time - not likely - or admit that candidate Clinton is just playing a game to scam Bernie supporters - more likely.
Either will certainly hurt their own chances at winning over Bernie supporters.
The lols will be had - all the way up to Trump's inauguration.
