Why do you think Hillary asked Bernie to campaign with and for her?

A thoughtful suggestion to the Bernie holdouts... [View all] brooklynite Jul 2016 OP

This message was self-deleted by its author redstatebluegirl Jul 2016 #1

IOW, you would rather send an FU message than give them time to grieve merrily Jul 2016 #2

This grieving process is getting a bit old. Bernie is still alive and well. Trust Buster Jul 2016 #4

And so are the excuses for what the DNC did. Brad Marshall is STILL the CFO of the DNC.... think Jul 2016 #7

Bernie used the DNC for his political purposes. His staff tapped into Hillary's database. It was a Trust Buster Jul 2016 #9

Brad Marshall suggested using Bernie's religion against him. How it that fair and neutral? Why is he think Jul 2016 #15

He suggested it. Did he or anyone else do it? Nope. FSogol Jul 2016 #23

He's still there is he not? How would you feel if a member the DNC suggested using Hillary's think Jul 2016 #28

Sure, his suggestion was crappy, but it was a private conversation that should not have been made FSogol Jul 2016 #30

Harry Reid, Ed Rendell, and Howard Dean can all admit the DNC was unfair. Why can't you? think Jul 2016 #41

Why do you think that only 3 Democrats ran for President this time? FSogol Jul 2016 #45

Who cares how many others were running? How does that justify what transpired at the DNC? think Jul 2016 #47

Did you just read the subject line and ignore the argument I laid out? FSogol Jul 2016 #53

Please show me how your argument is anyway related to what the DNC did as that was what we think Jul 2016 #55

To hell with what the DNC did or didn't do. What did the voters do?? That matters the most. tonyt53 Jul 2016 #82

So DWS just resigned for fun right? think Jul 2016 #83

Did Sanders fire the staff members that accessed Hillary's database at the DNC ? Trust Buster Jul 2016 #99

The one RECOMMENDED by the DNC? Yes. He sure the hell did.... think Jul 2016 #100

I don't imagine the Sanders campaign would like to have their emails and phone conversations redstatebluegirl Jul 2016 #105

Bernie Sanders had the right to expect the DNC to act professionally and impartially. That did not think Jul 2016 #107

Didn't he? I saw Hillary campaign surrogates on Sunday talk shows merrily Jul 2016 #70

Don't worry he might not be more audio tapes are coming out. classykaren Jul 2016 #92

Weren't those (selectively) released emails ALL written AFTER...... George II Jul 2016 #77

Apparently the Revolution continues. They are grouping and formulating. Sheepshank Jul 2016 #78

Like an Italian widow, they should wear black clothing for the rest of their lives.... FSogol Jul 2016 #26

I don't mean grieve for Bernie. merrily Jul 2016 #59

Grieving is one thing. NCTraveler Jul 2016 #21

I am not defending anything. And that's done and history at this point, anyway. merrily Jul 2016 #24

I'm not that bothered by them at this point. NCTraveler Jul 2016 #36

smh merrily Jul 2016 #43

No thanks. Not into violence. NCTraveler Jul 2016 #51

That went over my (shaking) head. merrily Jul 2016 #52

Was just trying to be lighthearted. NCTraveler Jul 2016 #56

I got that you were trying to be lighthearted. I just did not know about "smack my head." merrily Jul 2016 #57

SMH works well as a response to foolishness. NCTraveler Jul 2016 #65

lol classykaren Jul 2016 #97

Grieving time is over. Time's up! Everyone has had over a month to accept reality. NurseJackie Jul 2016 #25

Just curious what you think an OP on DU is going to do to get those merrily Jul 2016 #34

It will have about the same effect as the posts from their defenders and other provocateurs. NurseJackie Jul 2016 #50

I'm good with that. Pretending it will result in empty seats in the convention hall merrily Jul 2016 #62

DU is a fun activity and passtime, I enjoy it and like it for what it is... NurseJackie Jul 2016 #66

I'm really over hearing about the "grieving process" EffieBlack Jul 2016 #58

^^^^^ (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #79

More like, Go Away. Regardless of whether they "come around" or not. Lil Missy Jul 2016 #80

Nah. Nothing at all like that. merrily Jul 2016 #85

They've had months to grieve frazzled Jul 2016 #84

Not really. He did not endorse her months ago. merrily Jul 2016 #86

Well, that's his problem frazzled Jul 2016 #87

It's not his problem. His error, maybe, but not his problem. merrily Jul 2016 #88

To the extent that his error means he has to own it frazzled Jul 2016 #90

I would rather they join US in trying to defeat the fascist-Rand cabal that now controls the GOP. glennward Jul 2016 #3

But, they don't want to. leftofcool Jul 2016 #6

I watched the protests from the Hall last night... brooklynite Jul 2016 #10

The DNC wasn't fair or neutral. Ask Howard Dean, Ed Rendell, and Harry Reid.... think Jul 2016 #19

"At this point" being key. merrily Jul 2016 #37

And this is your way of unifying the party. . B Calm Jul 2016 #5

No, it's his way of saying, we get it. Go your merry way and someone will take your place. leftofcool Jul 2016 #8

Not cool man! B Calm Jul 2016 #11

Why? If they hate the DNC and Democrats so much why hang out with them? MoonRiver Jul 2016 #12

Not cool? Not cool that many of us will be happy to pick up the slack? leftofcool Jul 2016 #13

No. It's his way of stirring the pot on DU. merrily Jul 2016 #39

At this point, Bernie holdouts are not Democrats apnu Jul 2016 #106

If they're not on board at this point Bobbie Jo Jul 2016 #22

How can you pretend to know what will happen over the next 3+months? merrily Jul 2016 #42

Seems like a colossal waste of energy Bobbie Jo Jul 2016 #54

I think they are generating some buzz and more people are tuning in because of it. NCTraveler Jul 2016 #27

The BoBs are never going to vote for Hillary,time to cut them loose sufrommich Jul 2016 #32

That's because they were never democrats rjsquirrel Jul 2016 #40

Yawn. cherokeeprogressive Jul 2016 #33

Those ideas are not losers. They are items progressive's have been fighting for. glowing Jul 2016 #35

Hillary doesn't take corporate donations. Corporations aren't allowed to donate to campaigns. DanTex Jul 2016 #61

Lol rjsquirrel Jul 2016 #38

Thanks for the snark. tecelote Jul 2016 #44

80% of Bernie are already with us. It's the BoBs that need to go. sufrommich Jul 2016 #49

Some of the BoB and NeverHillary folks remind me of the infamous lady that was recorded on video 4lbs Jul 2016 #67

I was a Hillary supporter too and agree with you. sufrommich Jul 2016 #69

I believe she passed away a few years ago democrattotheend Jul 2016 #116

Is this your idea of unifying the party Chris? B Calm Jul 2016 #48

That shit only applies to warmed over Republicans. TheKentuckian Jul 2016 #60

At what point do the Bernie holdouts have any responsibility for "uniting the party." EffieBlack Jul 2016 #64

How is this any different than the MSNBC reporters running around the convention stirring up shit? B Calm Jul 2016 #68

That is a good point. n/t demmiblue Jul 2016 #93

Allow me to clarity my point... brooklynite Jul 2016 #71

Welcome to DU democrattotheend Jul 2016 #115

I love Bernie, but he is/was an Independent and just became a Democrat to run as President gg4usa Jul 2016 #101

And that independent voted for the ACA, which WOULDNT onecaliberal Jul 2016 #104

Yes, and Bernie's probably the most progressive of the bunch gg4usa Jul 2016 #113

He never planned on running. He did it for the people. He has never ever been selfish. onecaliberal Jul 2016 #114

at least you're intentionally being ironic. nt JCanete Jul 2016 #102
