Editorial: Bernie Sanders Keeps Fighting the Good Fight [View all] Donkees May 2018 OP

'Respectfully decline' hah Demsrule86 May 2018 #1

Bernie will run, but I doubt he will be a major factor as he was in 2016. kstewart33 May 2018 #101

I hope you are right. I certainly won't vote for Sen. Sanders in a primary. I did last time, and I Demsrule86 May 2018 #140

Me, too. kstewart33 May 2018 #158

This makes me like him even less...how could he risk this if he truly cares about the policies he Demsrule86 May 2018 #159

Bingo. kstewart33 May 2018 #173

Totally agree. Crutchez_CuiBono May 2018 #179

You do realise that if he runs as an indy in 2020 (he will never win the Dem nomination) Exotica May 2018 #98

Who said run as an Indy? Sure as fuck wasn't me... InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #107

Did Bernie attack Walmart over the same issue? dansolo May 2018 #13

I'm so glad you asked. Voltaire2 May 2018 #14

That's January 2018. "Repeatedly"? George II May 2018 #16

Yes it was January. Was that a bad month for attacking Walmart? Voltaire2 May 2018 #18

Once again, "repeatedly"? At least you didn't say "for the last decade (plus)" George II May 2018 #23

Down thread you reference another Sanders speech Voltaire2 May 2018 #24

Even the first two pages of a simple google search yield references in 2013/2014 Hassin Bin Sober May 2018 #27

Than you.... pangaia May 2018 #29

The anti-Sanders contingent really needs to get it together. SMC22307 May 2018 #54

"Lil engines that could".. disillusioned73 May 2018 #144

They have to know this... but hey, anything to bash Bernie, which includes ignoring facts. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #28

Oh, you know the point. George II May 2018 #37

No I really don't know what your point is. Voltaire2 May 2018 #40

How about longer than the last decade? This is from 2004 Uncle Joe May 2018 #59

Why Google when you can just invent your own "Poo-gle" reality? InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #36

Lol. Only for like the last decade (plus). Hassin Bin Sober May 2018 #15

The oldest citation I can find was in 2016. George II May 2018 #17

Your googles must be stuck on 2016 Hassin Bin Sober May 2018 #21

And what does this have to do with Sanders presumably fighting Walmart for "the last decade (plus)"? George II May 2018 #22

Does that mean Bernie won't be getting a seat on the Wal-Mart Board anytime soon? InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #34

Why doesn't this ruthless maneuver to keep citizens Hortensis May 2018 #19

Ask the Vermont Democrat Party. They bless it. aikoaiko May 2018 #25

Some "message." Sanders VOTES Democrat, Hortensis May 2018 #49

His supporters' priority, as far as I can tell, aikoaiko May 2018 #53

I recently read that Bernie's approval numbers in Vermont are down. kstewart33 May 2018 #100

As of the first quarter 2018 America's Most and Least Popular Senators Uncle Joe May 2018 #102

Thank you. 72% approval rating in Vermont! mountain grammy May 2018 #147

Well said mountain grammy Uncle Joe May 2018 #148

The ruthless maneuver prevents a rat fuck candidate Voltaire2 May 2018 #30

This is well-known policy - third time is been done - any candidate is free to run. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #38

So why not just accept the nomination? NT Adrahil May 2018 #43

If one nonsense attack fails just move on to another. Voltaire2 May 2018 #48

That's not an answer.... Adrahil May 2018 #61

This is the arrangement... tonedevil May 2018 #63

Still no answer. Why doesn't Sanders accept the nomination? NT Adrahil May 2018 #117

Another no answer... Adrahil May 2018 #119

Another no answer. Adrahil May 2018 #120

aaaaannnnd.... no answer. Again. NT Adrahil May 2018 #118

That is a really bad assessment of what is happening. What IS happening is that Sanders runs as JCanete May 2018 #45

Wasn't his mantra about choices for voters?? R B Garr May 2018 #46

he is running unopposed because nobody is opposing him. This has nothing at all to do with JCanete May 2018 #47

Ah, it is interesting to see the thought processes R B Garr May 2018 #52

It is even more interesting that the experts here Voltaire2 May 2018 #56

I was thinking the same thing about Bernie smearing MY R B Garr May 2018 #57

I'd be happy if Feinstein were replaced by a less Voltaire2 May 2018 #58

It is certainly not appropriate for him to smear R B Garr May 2018 #60

Our Revolutions numbers are acutally pretty impressive for a new group....What's their win JCanete May 2018 #67

That is laughable to compare the Revolution to 30 R B Garr May 2018 #69

I think you totally missed my point. Would you discount democrats as a party worth supporting if JCanete May 2018 #74

More tangents. I support Democrats. Not 3rd party R B Garr May 2018 #80

My senator, Diane Feinstien Lordquinton May 2018 #104

My Senator, Dianne Feinstein, would be savaged if she dared R B Garr May 2018 #105

Yep. The California Democratic Party didn't endorse but Bernie is a bad guy for not endorsing. Hassin Bin Sober May 2018 #106

Imagine thinking that someone saying they are staying out of something Lordquinton May 2018 #126

First of all, there is no smearing going on. None. Lordquinton May 2018 #125

Those so-called endorsements are not what voters R B Garr May 2018 #136

So your problem now is that people you disagree Voltaire2 May 2018 #167

That makes absolutely no sense. Can I impose R B Garr May 2018 #183

So disagreement is smearing? Lordquinton Jun 2018 #185

You know you make no sense because if Feinstein dared to R B Garr Jun 2018 #186

This has been a trip Lordquinton Jun 2018 #187

Sanders' own words out of his mouth was that he wasn't endorsing R B Garr Jun 2018 #189

Be the change you want to see Lordquinton Jun 2018 #191

Take your own advice. If he said he wasn't endorsing R B Garr Jun 2018 #192

Exactly! mountain grammy May 2018 #149

What are you talking about? Show me where I've said that 3rd parties don't split the vote. I think JCanete May 2018 #66

All these paragraphs and not a single thing to do R B Garr May 2018 #70

well what the hell was your comment to do with. If you mean the design of your comment, i'm JCanete May 2018 #75

Obvious tangent is obvious. R B Garr May 2018 #81

I still have no idea what you were trying to say, and its you, not me, that likes it that way. What JCanete May 2018 #83

LOL, it is by design. R B Garr May 2018 #86

How does him running unopposed reflect whether or not choices are good? He can't exactly run against JCanete May 2018 #91

LOL, another sidebar. You manufacture scenarios R B Garr May 2018 #93

what actually happened? Explain to me how it would have been different had he run as an independent. JCanete May 2018 #94

None of this addressed my point. Again. R B Garr May 2018 #96

the funny part is I'm not trying to ignore it. What is it? I thought it was that choice is good, JCanete May 2018 #97

It's amazing that those who claim primaries/elections are "rigged" are perfectly happy... George II May 2018 #122

Thank you!! Several sidebars and distractions, but you R B Garr May 2018 #137

Fight the good fight, Bernie. I thank you. aikoaiko May 2018 #20

The guy never gives up, never gives in, and, thankfully, Bernie still has a lotta fight left in him. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #35

It's as if the man wants with a clear conscience when he meets his maker. nt Snotcicles May 2018 #44

Yes, and he will be truly at peace knowing he gave it his all. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2018 #51

Actually Bernie was opposed to the TPP going back to January of 2014 Uncle Joe May 2018 #95

+++I always thought his TPP attacks were really a back door R B Garr May 2018 #103

There is nothing "back door" about Bernie, he opposed NAFTA in 1991, policy Uncle Joe May 2018 #108

Bashing the Clintons has always been his bread and butter and 2015-16 was a feast. ucrdem May 2018 #112

Can you see the difference? I said "policy" is what Bernie is all about and you said Clintons those Uncle Joe May 2018 #114

The point is that once it became a Clinton policy Bernie's star rose swiftly. ucrdem May 2018 #115

The point is George H.W. Bush was President in 1991 when Bernie came out against NAFTA and more Uncle Joe May 2018 #142

What did his "good fight" get us again? Not Democracy, as we sit here today. Wwcd May 2018 #127

That is your opinion. Others saw another strategy, R B Garr May 2018 #116

You begin with "Democracy is in tatters" and yet your argument is basically counter Uncle Joe May 2018 #164
