1. There are a lot of people running period.

A recent poll showed that Bernie was the 2nd choice of a lot of people who supported other candidates.
So, it will be interesting to see how this race plays out.

[NurseJackie]

2. You are correct... EVERY thing you say and ALL of your observations are true.

I never forget, and I do not forgive easily. In order to forgive, I need to see change or sincere regret. I've seen nothing at all like that.

I've been accused of "holding a grudge" but I think there's an important distinction. Grudge-holding is based in stubbornness and in complete disregard for someone's genuine efforts to change or their heartfelt apology. Neither of which I've observed.

I guess it all boils down to the fact that Hillary spoiled me. From now on, I'll judge all candidates using her as my "yardstick" and it will be very difficult for most to "measure up" to my higher standards and expectations.

31. If what the OP claimed really happened

I feel genuinely sorry.

I just hope the overzealousness of Bernie supporters is not held against his policies which are now copied and championed by many.

[RandySF]

34. It did. I was a witness, and a target.

[NurseJackie]

59. Sadly, it's true.

I'm heartened by your kind words and sincerity. But the same sentiments really do need to come from the top as well.

I do not have much confidence that such a thing will actually happen.

[fleabiscuit]

55. +1

[ret5hd]

3. Nice shitstirring. How do you handle such a large ladle?

[babylonsister]

4. Yawn, yet thanks. We know where you stand. nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Yawn?

[babylonsister]

11. Yes, since everyone and their

brother feel compelled to announce how they hate Bernie. I will just assume everyone does.

[fleabiscuit]

58. That's not a bad assumption.

[trueblue2007]

60. Well, I do !!!!!!!

[Cha]

10. It is NOT "yawning" to people

who lived through that shite.

[babylonsister]

13. What? Your candidate lost.

Move on already. Living in the past isn't helping the future.

[Eko]

14. Both of them did, Clinton and Sanders.

eom.

[Cha]

16. Oh Good god.. you have no idea what you're

talking about.

This has Nothing to do with Hillary losing to the russians. Really strange that you think it does.

I don't take "moving on" orders from you.

[Eko]

18. Wait a minute?

Didn't your candidate also loose? You did support Clinton after the primaries right?

[babylonsister]

21. Why yes, yes she did. But dead horses are

of no use to me.

[Eko]

22. Ya ought to edit that.

Calling Clinton a dead horse is pretty offensive.

[babylonsister]

23. Are you daft???

I wasn't calling Clinton a dead horse. I'm moving on. Is that easier?

[Eko]

24. Daft?

LOL, no Im not. Maybe what you said could be interpreted in a way you don't see. "Why yes, yes she did. But dead horses are of no use to me." Are you incapable of seeing how that can be interpreted or are you just stuck on your high horse? I mean that with all due respect.

[babylonsister]

25. I think you're looking for something that is not there and

wasn't intended.

[Eko]

28. I think thats entirely possible.

Im an open kind of person. Certainly been wrong before. Still seems kind of offensive. Think you could do me a solid and maybe change it? Would be much appreciative.
Keeponkeeponing.
Eko.

[Eko]

40. Sorry, didnt realize you anwser

was all encompassing of both, my bad and I apologize.

[chwaliszewski]

26. Oh, please.

She wasn't calling Hillary a dead horse. It's about the expression 'Stop beating a dead horse'. Bernie lost the primary. Hillary lost the general. It happened, it sucked, it's in the past. Let's try to focus on the upcoming election, OK?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. They know this.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Eko]

43. Seriously?

I just apologized and ya got to ruin it. SMH.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

44. Sorry to you then... but obviously didn't see your apology, which came AFTER my post.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Eko]

45. Ill take it.

But this may be instructive for all of us that sometimes we just don't quite understand what other people are saying and to have patience with each other.
Keep on keeponing InAbLuEsTaTe.
Eko.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

46. I will... you too!

And good luck to your candidate... hope Biden jumps in the race.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Eko]

48. Not disparaging any Democratic canidate at all.

but at this point Ill take a dead horse if its got a D after it over Dump. Just some humor lol.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

50. I hear ya on that one!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Eko]

53. Thanks,

and thanks for being you.
Eko.

[Eko]

39. Ah, didnt get it.

didn't realize the answer was in response to both questions. My bad, sorry.

[lostnfound]

20. Perfect answer. Nt

[forklift]

36. I think we Bernie supporters

should do better than show indifference. There are many fantastic candidates and as they drop off one by one, we will need their supporters to come in Bernie's camp.

[Eko]

6. I dont like the way he does things at all.

I don't care about him anymore. I voted for him in the primaries and now just, don't, care. There was one season that was totally off the hook. Done with him and his supporters.

[proud patriot]

7. Both sides

IMHO and speaking of only the most devout both sides burned bridges .

it seems both will continue to do so .. let's win this shall we ?

[R B Garr]

15. Supporting Democrats is not burning bridges. There is no

obligation to an Independent changing titles to strategize his election chances, so no bridge there to burn.

[proud patriot]

51. I'm not talking about the party

I'm talking about individual people .. Both sides have said horrible things ..

I voted for Bernie in the Primaries .. I voted For Hillary
in the General ..

I won't be made to feel bad , for observing what I have observed ..

My perspective is Valid ..

I was hoping both Bernie and Hillary would stay out of this election
for this very reason .. Bad Blood between Liberals as individuals ..
We agree on 90% of everything , why are we not celebrating our Goodness
on that 90% ??

Why ? because bridges were burned .. I don't blame Bernie or Hillary for those burnt Bridges.
I blame myself , I blame each one of us .. We allowed the division ..

It just truly Sucks .. I hate it when I see it ..

I will vote for the nominee .. I aim to stop Fascism the War machine .
I aim to help Millions of Americans by defending our Constitution ..

Hopefully we can do that .

My support for Harris takes root in the belief that we can get past the hurt.

We can Defeat trump and make the World a better place for all living things.

We must do it together

We must.

[emulatorloo]

19. Yes we will win. IMHO there are stronger candidates though

Will be an interesting primary that is for sure

[proud patriot]

52. Yes it will

[exboyfil]

8. I voted for him in the 2016 Iowa caucus

and I regret that decision given how things played out. He is near the bottom of my list now. I would still vote for him in the general election (or any Democrat of course).

[RazBerryBeret]

12. man, I'm already sick of this meme....

we have some great choices, I'm excited to get behind a strong candidate. Say what you will, but you can't take away the fact that the man raised nearly $10m in 24 hours. I'm sure he's not crying for your support.

[emulatorloo]

17. ...

Money Can’t Buy Me Love

[forklift]

27. Oh please

don't blame Bernie for what his supporters did.

I wasn't here back then but I apologize for what you claim happened to Hillary supporters. Must have been awful.

I just request that you don't hold it against Bernie.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. Good luck with that!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

49. Look back at the articles from 2008. There were the same complaints.

But then it was about “Obama fans” and how mean they were. In fact, Joan Walsh and Paul Krugman wrote almost identical articles 8 years apart about how mean online Obama fans were. They practically cut and pasted the same articles with different names.

Same shit different year. Politics ain’t bean bag.

[chwaliszewski]

29. I thought we weren't supposed to be bashing each other or the Dem candidates?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. You forgot the Bernie exception.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[watoos]

38. Tulsi gets bashed even more.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

41. Tru dat!! Not sure why that is.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[watoos]

37. That's what I thought.

The only way we lose in 2020 is if we fight among ourselves.

I have only 1 criteria to pick my nominee; he or she has to be tough as nails. I don't give a damn about policy, policy doesn't matter if we lose. All of our candidates are way better than MF45.

I see that Eric Holder is considering running, he is tough.

[still_one]

35. I think that it would have been better if Bernie and Hillary didn't run, but obviously Bernie

thought otherwise, and that is one of the reasons I think it is a good thing that Biden is running. I think Biden will reduce the odds of a brokered convention

and contrary to what some may believe, a brokered convention is not a good thing

[backtoblue]

42. I supported Bernie in 2016

Then voted for Hillary in the General.

I certainly hope I haven't burnt any bridges....

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

47. Too late!! haha!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[PatrickforO]

56. Yeah, same here, and I didn't burn any bridges either.

We ALL got burned by Trump, Putin, the Russian hackers and the Grand old Party. These people are still ripping us off every which way but loose.

What's that Roger Daltrey sang? "Get up my guitar and play, just like yesterday. Get on my knees and pray, WE DON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN!"

[JGug1]

57. Bernie

I think you are making a mistake. Bernie isn't my favorite candidate and I kind of hoped he wouldn't run. I hope Biden doesn't. I'm glad Hillary Clinton isn't running. But, Bernie has said the right things so far. I don't think he will hold up but he is leading in the Kos Straw Poll, as of now.
I'll come out strong for whomever gets the nomination. I hope every person here will, as well and I have no intention of bad mouthing any of them. Criticize their mistakes? Yup. Elizabeth Warren and her Native American stuff. Tulsi with her cowgirl visit to Syria and her previous positions on gays, lesbians and trans people, though she apparently has evolved. And so forth.
