(135,425 posts)It's easy to gripe when you're not the one on the line.
What sort of BLM "message" should Obama send? Here, here's a nominee you'll never endorse? Let's pre-ordain failure? Let's give the Senate an excuse? Let them off the hook?
smh.
Obama's nomination hoisted the entire US Senate on its own petard. It was a brilliant choice. Republicans turning their back on Obama's nominee are on video praising the guy to the skies.
And then you broad brushed with "rigged" charges and insults directed at the front runner and likely nominee, that you really can't take back. Never mind the trash talking about voters who just don't agree with YOU when they go to the polls--no reason to name call like that, but you went there.
Perhaps you can introspect and see why many interest groups of Democrats and other left of center agencies, just haven't Felt That Bern. It's remarks like yours, mocking "ignorant voters" and flinging invective in a frantic way, that just don't foster any kind of unity. You clearly don't see how this kind of stuff comes off:
21. And most of the mainstream media is a long paean to Trump and Hillary.

I'm with Bernie for the long haul.
He is starting a movement, and I will be part of it.
I am very disappointed that Obama did not use his nomination to the Supreme Court to send Democrats a message about Black Lives Matter.
You can't pander to racist conservatives in Congress if you want Democrats to get excited about voting.
I will campaign for Bernie in California. We should not be disenfranchised by the relatively conservative, ignorant voters in the South and Midwest.
Not one Pacific rim state has voted yet.
This primary system is rigged (as are most politics and economics in America), and I will vote for all the California Democrats on my ballot, but I will never, ever vote for Hillary.
She is a wolf in sheep's clothing if I ever saw one. She is far too conservative for me. She is far too weak for me.
You can and will do what you want, and that's fine and dandy...but don't expect me to really care about your opinions when you spout that kind of invective. That primary system wasn't rigged when Sanders won Michigan, was it? When he won NH and ME?
I've always said that if Sanders made it to the finish line, I'd vote for him, because I care more about electing a Democrat than enduring four years of a GOP lunatic. The fact that you're throwing down the NEVER EVER VOTE card tells me you are more invested in personalities than the well being of the nation.
HRC and BS are more alike than they are different. They've been friends for 25 years. When this is all over, they'll still be friends, and if she doesn't find him a job in her cabinet, she'll likely help raise money for his re-election campaign in two years.
