(2,900 posts)I neither know nor care if Sen. Sanders lies about Hillary Clinton. What I object to is your constant whining instead of helping your guy.
I'm pretty sure that Sen. Sanders knows what is at stake in this election. You will observe that he refrains from any of the immature, whiny and petulant attacks you are making on Sec. Clinton. There is a reason for that. He understands that there is a larger than zero possibility of him not being the nominee. Just as I understand that about Sec. Clinton.
Sen. Sanders and Sec. Clinton are both potential nominees. Gov. O'Malley is not. Both have the maturity to know that the country would be far more damaged by a Republican winning the White House than by their Democratic opponent. You seem to be missing that point.
Sen. Sanders is a far better man than his supporters that have restricted their support to whining like babies reaching for toys in the supermarket. That's what you and some of your friends come off looking like. Not all, but you are the ones that attract all the attention.
You want Sanders to win? Get out there and register voters to vote for him in November. If you don't do that, he will lose. I'm doing that for Sec. Clinton, and if she doesn't get the nomination, then I'm happy that I've done that for Sen. Sanders. But I do register anyone who wants to vote, including Republicans. The law requires that I not turn anyone away.
I will say, that Sen. Sanders is a much of a class act as Sec. Clinton. If he was like his more annoying supporters, I'd just be disgusted. Which is what I am with the whining brigade that is dragging him down. Nobody can win with that kind of whining.
