In reply to the discussion: Math says to me that Sanders has a shot at winning the nomination [View all]Gothmog
(174,576 posts)160. Where you there?
I was there. I was shocked when I got the text from my whip because I could not imagine anyone booing Congressman John Lewis. The fact that sanders refused to stop this stunt is really sad but denying that this stunt occurred will not work in the real world
On the prior version of JPR, there was a sad thread about this incident. JPR is now on a new operating system and cannot be searched but I and others saved that thread. Nance has a nice thread about this incident where she copied many of the sad comments from the sanders supporters on JPR https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028476265 From Nance's post
Also on the JPR homefront: Trump is the legitimately-elected pOTUS, and all stories about his Russian ties are fake news. The Establishment is trying to steal his presidency away from him because they were planning a war with Russia, and the peace-loving Trump - as always mindful of the welfare of others - is standing in their way by pursuing a meaningful friendship with Putin.
Amazed at how the (alleged) True Progressives on JPR have so quickly morphed into Trumpettes? You shouldnt be. Thats what happens when a site full of malleable malcontents is overrun with RWers, and are willing to swallow any swill emanating from anti-Dem sources.
JPR takes the enemy of my enemy is my friend idiocy to a whole new level. They are now on-board with Mr. Tangerine Man, based solely on the fact that he saved them from the horrors that a Hillary presidency would have brought about like appointing billionaire, Goldman-Sachs-type corporatists to her Cabinet. (So glad we dodged THAT bullet!)
So beware of Trumpettes wearing JPR's version of True Progressive clothing. They were RWers (or RW wannabees) all along or sadder still, mindless sheep willing to follow the Judas Goat without hesitation, while pretending to be independent "thinkers" immune to being led by the nose to the slaughterhouse

I am a private facebook page for Clinton national delegates. There are still a ton of hard feelings and outrage at the conduct of the sanders campaign at the national convention. My whip was working for the DNC during the midterms and will no doubt end up on one of the major Democratic candidates campaigns (there is no way that he will get near a sanders campaign). There are a ton of Clinton campaign workers who will be glad to show up in ads on this issue.

I support Bernie. Whether or not he wins the primary, his voice will be valuable during the debates.

What exactly is "progressive" about encouraging anyone to smear and denigrate Democrats?

And John Lewis only said he never met Bernie. Because some of his delusional supporters claimed BS

The cheering by delegates was because we were warned in advance about this stunt

Not to mention, the whole point was that Senator Sanders had fewer delegates.

His campaign may serve as non-violent "brass knuckles" to promote progressive policy position.

That would mean both parties are running kremlin candidates. RT can host the debates.

Just like in 2016, Sanders will be effectively eliminated once the South and CA vote in early March.
