In reply to the discussion: Sanders booed by House Democrats [View all]LakeArenal
(29,949 posts)First I think it makes the Hillary camp look like sore winners. To boo anyone is disrespectful. I loved Clinton. Back in 2012 I had a "Clinton 2016" sign in my yard. Even then I thought she is in the pocket of big business. Bernie came along and said all the things I want to hear from a candidate. Many things such as one payer are things Clinton used to stand for.
Now what I think is, Bernie has met with Hillary and they have discussed just exactly how things should play out. They are all showmen. They are going to build the Bernie endorsement up with a big crescendo. Like at the convention, when there is a lot of airtime, drama and pathos.. Bernie is going to surrender with all the pomp and circumstance the new queen deserves. She is going to accept his endorsement on a grand stage. There will be a lot of sweet talk and love.
If the party is divided, it's not Bernie's fault. Contrary to what some Dems think, we aren't sheep. We want to hear the party platform take on as many of Bernie's stances as possible. When others boo, I feel they are booing me.. This continuous dismissal of Bernie Sanders gets under my skin. The boo crowd divides me from them not uniting. We will all support Clinton in the end.. Just hold your water and hold out a welcoming hand.
