If it's not ego, then what is Bernie doing? [View all] YouDig Jun 2016 OP

He's moving us back to the left where we belong. tecelote Jun 2016 #1

How is he doing that? In a real concrete way, what "movement" is he making. YouDig Jun 2016 #3

You see what you want to see. It's a common affliction. But facts matter. tecelote Jun 2016 #16

That's in the past, before he lost. What's the point now? He's already lost. YouDig Jun 2016 #19

Yes I do. tecelote Jun 2016 #23

I think we should move left too. Believe it or not. YouDig Jun 2016 #25

If you believe he doesn't have any power to move... tex-wyo-dem Jun 2016 #54

The platform is a meaningless piece of paper. YouDig Jun 2016 #58

Hogwash...on both of your points nt tex-wyo-dem Jun 2016 #61

You sound worried. TheCowsCameHome Jun 2016 #62

I'm worried that Trump might win. You? You don't seem to care. Hmm. YouDig Jun 2016 #73

Not to worry, she's got it in the bag TheCowsCameHome Jun 2016 #75

He's making a bowel movement. OK? notadmblnd Jun 2016 #77

We're already on the left. And his current actions aren't doing anything to move the party. -nt- Lord Magus Jun 2016 #14

Ditto above. Links above. tecelote Jun 2016 #18

Then your "left" is no different than what Nixon was as President. nt Dawgs Jun 2016 #88

He's thinking "There are DUers I can be driving totally insane right now..." cherokeeprogressive Jun 2016 #2

Yeah, pretty much. In a larger sense. Also non-DUers. Democrats in general are being driven YouDig Jun 2016 #4

That's just a personal snipe. Who cares when I joined? I'm still an American and a Democrat. YouDig Jun 2016 #10

Sanders is not helping Trump. -none Jun 2016 #13

What are you talking about? Hillary is the one person standing between us and Trump. YouDig Jun 2016 #17

Why isn't Sanders standing between us and Trump? -none Jun 2016 #24

Because he lost the primary. YouDig Jun 2016 #26

The democratic convention has not happened yet. -none Jun 2016 #27

Serious? It's over, yo. She got more votes. By a lot. YouDig Jun 2016 #29

Yes, seriously. -none Jun 2016 #30

Yes, it's serious... BBG Jun 2016 #85

"ego" is the Broccoli message lately. panader0 Jun 2016 #5

You ducked the question. What is he trying to accomplish? YouDig Jun 2016 #7

He wants to influence the direction of the party. panader0 Jun 2016 #12

How is he going to do that by not endorsing Hillary? It's totally illogical. YouDig Jun 2016 #15

The only pissing off is being done by the Hillbullies. TheCowsCameHome Jun 2016 #20

What are "Hillbullies"? I believe in Democracy, and Hillary got a lot more votes. YouDig Jun 2016 #21

Good luck going it alone. TheCowsCameHome Jun 2016 #34

How am I alone? I'm with the majority of Dems and, also, the majority of Americans. YouDig Jun 2016 #38

Are you saying you don't need Sanders supporters this November? TheCowsCameHome Jun 2016 #49

We need the majority of voters. Every voter counts the same. YouDig Jun 2016 #53

Nice dodge. TheCowsCameHome Jun 2016 #57

Nice dodge. I didn't expect it, I gave you benefit of doubt. Oops. YouDig Jun 2016 #59

It's called politics AgingAmerican Jun 2016 #51

No. YOU are ducking our answers. YOU. YOU had this convo a week ago and STILL want to stalk ancianita Jun 2016 #41

She won...she deserves to move on Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #9

It is his giant ego...that won't allow him to admit he lost...bitter and angry. Demsrule86 Jun 2016 #6

He is representing the voice of 45% of Democratic primary voters, who all of you dismiss. He is highprincipleswork Jun 2016 #11

No, no. I'm asking for a concrete answer. How does he think this stunt will bring about YouDig Jun 2016 #28

Judging from media jehop61 Jun 2016 #22

There you go again. You keep asking this, and we keep telling you. ancianita Jun 2016 #31

Hillary doesn't deserve a sit down with him? oberliner Jun 2016 #32

Bizarro? I think it's bizarro for any Hiller to say she doesn't need ours or his support. ancianita Jun 2016 #35

Anyone who says that is also in bizarro world oberliner Jun 2016 #45

"Ego" is in the OP title. Thanks for your understanding. I'm all about the forging process. ancianita Jun 2016 #46

Yes, there are certainly posts of that nature oberliner Jun 2016 #48

Do you realize that Bernie lost? By a lot? YouDig Jun 2016 #33

Nope. Got 40% of the Democratic vote. A sizable -- sizable -- vote. Attention will be paid. ancianita Jun 2016 #36

In other words, Bernie lost. YouDig Jun 2016 #40

BUT NOT DROP OUT AND SLINK AWAY LOST. And you very well know why. ancianita Jun 2016 #42

So, has Hillary won the GE yet? TheCowsCameHome Jun 2016 #37

No, just the primary. Which Bernie lost. YouDig Jun 2016 #39

You can say that as many times as your stalking drives you, but Bernie won the debate. Hill knows it ancianita Jun 2016 #43

How did Bernie win "the debate"? What "debate"? YouDig Jun 2016 #44

Hillary will tell you. Berners have all told you. The media have told you. I have told you. ancianita Jun 2016 #52

As I can tell, H won the debate by, you know, getting far more votes than B. YMMV YouDig Jun 2016 #56

"There you go again." Channeling Reagan today, are we? anigbrowl Jun 2016 #66

Interpreting and then outraging over words. Now we know you like DWS. Why do you like her? ancianita Jun 2016 #70

He doesn't owe anybody anything. He ran a good primary. If he walked away now, it's his choice. George Eliot Jun 2016 #47

It's not a "debt." It's just whether he cares about defeating Trump. Does he? Who knows. YouDig Jun 2016 #50

It's NOT just about defeating Trump. IT'S ABOUT THE IDEAS THAT WILL DEFEAT TRUMP. ancianita Jun 2016 #55

Defeating Trump isn't his job. It is the job of Hillary Clinton and her machine. She's the nominee. George Eliot Jun 2016 #64

Oh yeah. "Not my job". Real courage there. Real principle in action. My god. YouDig Jun 2016 #68

As you keep saying - she won 840high Jun 2016 #71

And Bernie can be a force for good or a force for bad. We'll see. YouDig Jun 2016 #74

Or he can choose not to be a force at all. His choice. As some keep saying, he was defeated. George Eliot Jun 2016 #81

I doubt the sincerity of your question MrMickeysMom Jun 2016 #63

Especially since his question has 840high Jun 2016 #72

This is his basic MO since he got into politics. It's going to fail at this level the same as it BobbyDrake Jun 2016 #65

"He can make some of his angry supporters happy by giving the finger to the Democratic Party" SirBrockington Jun 2016 #67

IMO,she'll clearly win.If she doesn't,the establishment will have some serious self-reflection George Eliot Jun 2016 #82

Setting your hair on fire AgingAmerican Jun 2016 #79

When you post crap like this it is extremely obvious that you have no clue on what Bernie is about. jillan Jun 2016 #80

He's a man of his word. zalinda Jun 2016 #83

you, like Flakey Foont, will never understand. hobbit709 Jun 2016 #84

What answer would satisfy any HRC supporter in regards to this question asked? HumanityExperiment Jun 2016 #86

I don't know what he's thinking, obviously, no one does. Avalux Jun 2016 #87

That doesn't seem to be consistent with his actions these days. YouDig Jun 2016 #90

Details are available at his web site. Orsino Jun 2016 #89
