No endorsement at all. Also, Obama is campaigning and actually trying to defeat Trump. Obama is campaigning with Hillary. Warren is campaigning with Hillary to defeat Trump. Others will be doing the same. Where the hell is Sanders and his supporters? Where?

President Obama is far more important than Sanders Gothmog Jul 2016 #6

Yes he is important to you, because if he wasn't you wouldn't post about yet you do it virtually JRLeft Jul 2016 #11

Sanders failed to appeal to key groups of the Democratic base and lost the nomination Gothmog Jul 2016 #12

I'm responding to your post that he doesn't matter to you when he clearly does. JRLeft Jul 2016 #13

It wasn't. Elizabeth Warren lied to you about that. Senators had access to the rough drafts from BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #19

I appreciate your thoughtful response, but frankly, I don't believe it. earthshine Jul 2016 #22

Stiglitz, Sanders, nor Chomsky know everything the president of the United States is privvy to. BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #30

What is he privvy to? The process of trade negotiations should be transparent! earthshine Jul 2016 #32

Just because you say Sanders wasn't pro-LGBT doesn't make it true... GeorgiaPeanuts Jul 2016 #33

Lots of things need to be negotiated in secret, in order to shield from political pressures. DanTex Jul 2016 #20
