2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I think Bernie will concede later today in that speech [View all]peace13
(11,076 posts)11. Sander's has been in a lose / lose situation for a year. Second guessing is just that.
Our deciding what he should do is of no value. His life has been an example of real action. He doesn't need to 'start' doing that. People should stop judging and let this play out. In the end our opinions won't make a bit of difference. Imagine if he did what you suggest and use your words. 'This is just the photo op for posterity'........I don't think anyone who knows Bernie would consider that a compliment. People should keep their attention on what is happening on the Floor. Our country is in crisis and we need a resolution. We do not need photo OP's. Thanks for the opportunity to speak.

People need frequent reminding. Otherwise it will go throught one ear and come out

Can't imagine him doing that, and maybe not ever, even at or after the convention.

He gave his word he would endorse and support the nominee, why would you not believe him?

Bernie's day-to-day movements, thoughts, decisions, whims aren't that relevant anymore.

Why then point out the irrelevance of the irrelevant unless they are yet relevant?

Agreed. Not that he can't walk it back, but that he can't unsee what he and many more have seen.

Meh! Ennnhhhhh! I think he waited too long for it to have any meaningful impact.

A true leader of a revolution needs to have some sense of drama in order to succeed.
