Will Bernie be as hated by progressives as Nader

now that he is putting his ego ahead of his country?

And what makes people blow a lifetime of good work like this.

What a sad little man

Why Bernie should stay in the race.

At this point he is just making Clinton look better and better to the swing voters she will need in November.

Crazy guy on the Right - Trump

Crazy guy in the Left - Sanders.

Elder Statesman/presidential leader - Clinton.

Bernie is triangulating himself.

LOL

Confirmed: Sanders is selling a fantasy agenda.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2016/05/09/confirmed-sanders-is-selling-a-fantasy-agenda/

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has attracted a passionate following because he is selling his followers a fantasy. And not just any fantasy — but one of epic proportions. A group of respected, nonpartisan experts offered the public a sense of the scale on Monday, releasing the most thorough analysis yet on Sanders’s plan and finding that it is profoundly flawed. Before the Democrats agree to adopt his agenda, a price they might pay to get him to end his doomed campaign, they should be clear about what they are signing onto.

Sanders articulates broad principles — free health care for all; free college for everyone. When pressed on the details, he falls back on broad explanations — other countries to seem to do these sorts of things, so we can, too. But in the real world of policymaking, where specific numbers must add up and tradeoffs must be considered, his program is a flop.

Generation X is sick of your bullshit (millenials)

But whatever! Generation X is self-sufficient. It was a latchkey child. Its parents were too busy fulfilling their own personal ambitions to notice any of its trophies-which were admittedly few and far between because they were only awarded for victories, not participation.

It has been a great primary. Bernie's campaign was essential to keep

the party a progressive one. Now he needs to help solidify a progressive message for HRC to take to the people in the fall. Now, unified and motivated, the Democratic party with its liberal, moderate, and leftist members will smash the neo-fascist tea parties in an historic landslide.

Throwing money is such a dead give away of privelege.

White, wealthy privilege.

No wonder Bernie is getting clobbered.

His peeps jump a new shark almost daily as victory gets less and less possible. The money throwing thing is hilarious.

The Sanders surrogate problem.

Wealthy privilege. Mostly white but totally wealthy. All these douche bags saying stupid shit (from Susan Sarandon to Killa Mike) will not have their lifestyles affected one bit the way the poor will if a Republican is elected.
