Hillary Clinton
Showing Original Post only (View all)Bernie: the Ego Continues. Sad for Him. Sad for Us. [View all]
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/05/17/1527238/-Bernie-the-Ego-Continues-Sad-for-Him-Sad-for-UsWont be the nominee but continues fighting for the sake of the ideology.
Or: Wont be the nominee but continues fighting because hell be to old to run again in four years and is intoxicated by the crowds and attention.
Not for superdelegates when they're for Hillary: its not a fair system, but for superdelegates if they switch to him (So: How many fanatics does it take to screw in a light bulb? Two. One to steal the bulb, etc.)
When asked if caucuses are fair even if theyre less democratic, he said, I think people should be forced to participate more vigorously in our democracy. Meaning, for those who have to work during caucuses, too bad
All the words of a politician
Wants a revolution but didnt price it out, didnt consider how hed get it through Congress. Those are just details and hes clearly not a detail guy.
The thing is Bernie, no one told you: you cant get a country, or a party, to change by putting a gun to their heads.
But in democratic socialist, the democratic obviously doesnt derive from democracy. Or from Democratic Party.
The party needs a revolution, you say, though you never joined, and the majority of party members dont chose you.
Its easy to destroy things. Try to create sometime.
And by the way, we who voted for Hillary would expect her, with the most votes and the most pledged delegates, to win.

I look forward to the day when we can speak freely everywhere in DU, not just this group.

He won't condemn it outright. He'll just passively say that it's not what he "condones"…
