May 2016

Its sad that I took a not-so-veiled threat of violence serious rather than the sarcasm it was intended as. Even 4 months ago I would not have made that mistake. But I just responded to a piss-ant threatening to cause mayhem in the streets of philly.

There is a reason the party distanced itself from the hard left radicals of the late 60's and early 70's. The were impossible to work with and are election kryptonite. And I am beginning to understand why Bernie has never really been able to ally himself with other notable Senators and get things done.

Funnily enough, Oregon's margin tonight knocked Sanders out. [View all] Zynx May 2016 OP

After Kentucky it went up to 70%. JaneyVee May 2016 #2

We will fight you and the oligarchy you revere until the convention and beyond. rhett o rick May 2016 #17

sounds like what Barack Obama faced when he was taking office bigtree May 2016 #32

The bullies are the billionaires and Wall Street that thinks they can lie, cheat and steal elections rhett o rick May 2016 #86

How many sick and dying American Veterans can you rationalize? How big a lie about 5% growth? KittyWampus May 2016 #62

I think you got it backwards. I was against the Iraq War. I assume you follow Clinton with rhett o rick May 2016 #87

"the oligarchy you revere" zappaman May 2016 #73

Even worse than that... Corporate666 May 2016 #20

That is the same math Steve Kornaki arrived at on MSNBC tonight.... bettyellen May 2016 #23

OTOH Oregon was a closed primary, CA is semi-open. (n/t) thesquanderer May 2016 #24

Agreed.. a single digit win in Oregon does not bode well for California. DCBob May 2016 #25

It foretells a double digit loss in CA n/t texstad79 May 2016 #30

Knock wood. :) Agree that a very modest win in Hortensis May 2016 #36

You probably should've waited till the votes were counted before typing that ignorant statement. phleshdef May 2016 #75

Ignorance is thinking there is any practical significance between 9 and 12% DCBob May 2016 #76

You said a single digit win. It was a double digit win. You can't take it back now. phleshdef May 2016 #77

I dont take it back at all.. the meaning is precisely the same. DCBob May 2016 #79

No it isn't precisely the same. Pick up a dictionary. phleshdef May 2016 #80

Dont need to dictionary to comprehend something that is common sense. DCBob May 2016 #81

So single and double mean the same thing and 9 is the same value as 12. phleshdef May 2016 #82

It doesn't matter. He's not going to concede. grossproffit May 2016 #34

SURRENDER DOROT....I MEAN BERNIE!!! TheSarcastinator May 2016 #67

Ha!! Bucky May 2016 #70

Oregon was a completely closed election. California allows independent voters to vote in the primary w4rma May 2016 #78

California also isn't nearly as white as Oregon. Zynx May 2016 #85

Bernie does nearly as well with Hispanics as he does with whites, Asian- and Native-Americans.nt w4rma May 2016 #88

Texas, Arizona, New York, and Florida suggest otherwise. Zynx May 2016 #90

I know. Only winning by double digits. Tiggeroshii May 2016 #89
