He's been my Senator for years. I am donating time and money and I will fight for him the way I once fought for Dean.

An Open Letter to Howard Dean. [View all] Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 OP

How DARE he support a candidate other than the candidate I support! Metric System Sep 2015 #1

Would you like to debate his reasoning? Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #3

I take your silence as a "no." n/t Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #15

My exact thoughts. still_one Sep 2015 #4

You realize that peopel are allowed to disagree, and to communicate their disagreements, right? Scootaloo Sep 2015 #44

sure but they can't dictate people's responses. yet roguevalley Sep 2015 #62

And shall we start calling all Sanders surrogates shills for him? hrmjustin Sep 2015 #2

It's asymmetric. Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #7

And do you think Den wants to destroy the planet as you say? hrmjustin Sep 2015 #9

No. Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #20

Deluded huh! Or maybe he wants to protect the gains we made. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #23

No, it's time to play offense. Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #29

I can not speak for the country on howleft or right we are. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #31

Yet, imo you should look up 400 ppm and sixth extinction nadinbrzezinski Sep 2015 #40

I shall when i get a chance hrmjustin Sep 2015 #41

I know what both are and non of our current candidates seems to have a plan... Agschmid Sep 2015 #58

To be fair, none do nadinbrzezinski Sep 2015 #59

Bernie's stump speech addresses these issues. n/t Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #105

Can we criticize him without insulting him? mhatrw Sep 2015 #90

What gains have we made? zeemike Sep 2015 #52

Choice, Marriage Equality, workers rights, etc. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #53

The GOP controlled SCOUTS gave us that not Dems. zeemike Sep 2015 #55

My point is if we don't have a nominee that can win then we lose those things. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #57

Well then you should be for Sanders. zeemike Sep 2015 #88

That is how my Tea Leaves and Cat Bones are looking. bvar22 Sep 2015 #108

What workers' rights? mhatrw Sep 2015 #91

What gains have we made? brooklynite Sep 2015 #69

Message auto-removed Name removed Sep 2015 #85

But you seem to believe Sanders will..........who's deluded? Historic NY Sep 2015 #102

Then how come the GOP controls the house and senate now. zeemike Sep 2015 #87

There are Sanders threads bragging how they have "loaded" Howard's Facebook/twitter account", by still_one Sep 2015 #10

Disgraceful if they hacked his account. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #14

Hacked is the wrong word. I'll change it. They are overloading it with pro-Bernie anti-Hillary still_one Sep 2015 #18

Well that is ok but they need to just get over it. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #19

that road runs both ways roguevalley Sep 2015 #63

How so? hrmjustin Sep 2015 #65

And what is stopping Hillary supporters from congratulating the good doctor on mhatrw Sep 2015 #92

Why do they think this behavior is acceptable? Don't they realize it could reflect on their Metric System Sep 2015 #16

I used the wrong word, and changed it to "loading it with pro Bernie anti Hillary" rhetoric, but you still_one Sep 2015 #24

Why? Fawke Em Sep 2015 #86

Based on the comments by Sanders supporters on Dean's Facebook, it's safe to say they haven't been Metric System Sep 2015 #5

There is some truth in that. Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #12

Most of what sanders has are 'FANS' not supporters... revmclaren Sep 2015 #27

you hit the nail on the head lunamagica Sep 2015 #32

Just keep telling yourself that. hedda_foil Sep 2015 #89

You will get 1,000 Clinton voters to 10,000 Sanders voters. mhatrw Sep 2015 #93

So a mark of "fandom" is 400,000 people signing up to do actual volunteer work? eridani Sep 2015 #95

And a lot of supporters tavalon Sep 2015 #104

Bernie is running for POTUS. His supporters are not. Got it? L0oniX Sep 2015 #45

Tend the beam in your own eye, Metric System. Scootaloo Sep 2015 #47

"I will vote for Hillary if she wins the primary" PowerToThePeople Sep 2015 #6

I hear you. Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #8

PUMA movement? Are you for real? Are you forgetting Pres. Obama's two election wins? Metric System Sep 2015 #11

If PUMA is not a thing, Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #13

Because it was discussed quite often on DU back in 2008. My point is that it amounted to basically Metric System Sep 2015 #17

I agree that it had no sustantive impact. Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #25

I can name dozens of Duers who said they will not vote for HRC if she is the nominee. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #26

I would bust my ass getting him elected if he wins the primary... revmclaren Sep 2015 #34

Same here. Nothing said here will ever turn me off to voting for him if he is the nominee. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #35

Yup revmclaren Sep 2015 #36

I have nadinbrzezinski Sep 2015 #42

True, every Clinton supporter I have seen promises they will vote for "Whoever the nominee is" Scootaloo Sep 2015 #48

Well i am friendly with most of the du HRC supporters and they say the same thing in private hrmjustin Sep 2015 #49

Here's my thing, hrmjustin Scootaloo Sep 2015 #54

I can say the same about Sanders supporters times 1000. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #56

And you have done so, probably thousands of times. Scootaloo Sep 2015 #64

What have I done? Be specific please. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #66

"I can say the same about Sanders supporters times 1000." Scootaloo Sep 2015 #67

Yes and i will continue to call out those who need to be called out. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #68

And again... Scootaloo Sep 2015 #72

You are aware there are people on DU who openly say they will not support HRC in a general.. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #75

Yup. Individuals do not a movement make. Scootaloo Sep 2015 #76

Lol nice try. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #77

I'm not "trying" anything. Scootaloo Sep 2015 #79

Don't kid yourself. There will be puma no matter which one is nominated. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #80

We'll see, won't we? Scootaloo Sep 2015 #81

We already see it. You just have to look. hrmjustin Sep 2015 #82

I'm seeing quite a lot of things. Scootaloo Sep 2015 #83

My guys are not out to destroy Democrats. My guys don't post op after op wfter op after op about how hrmjustin Sep 2015 #84

Here is my thing... Agschmid Sep 2015 #61

I disagree Scootaloo Sep 2015 #70

Well... Agschmid Sep 2015 #71

Might wanna add a sarcasm tag there. Just FYI Scootaloo Sep 2015 #74

I hear you. Agschmid Sep 2015 #78

But its not going to go the other way.....and Sander supporters are saying so. Historic NY Sep 2015 #103

I don't understand what you're saying. Could you rephrase a bit? Scootaloo Sep 2015 #106

It's sad this lady thought Dean was ever a lefty. m-lekktor Sep 2015 #21

The people who were fooled by Obama sure are paying attention now. frylock Sep 2015 #37

Remember when DU was all hot and bothered for Wesley Clark? Maedhros Sep 2015 #38

He always seemed like the trustworthy sort. mhatrw Sep 2015 #94

It's a disturbing spectacle to see Dean now spouting establishment nonsense on M$M. n/t 99th_Monkey Sep 2015 #22

Vermonters aren't surprised at all. cali Sep 2015 #28

No, but it's still disappointing. ozone_man Sep 2015 #50

I have to go work on the campaign now. Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #30

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Dr. Dean ibegurpard Sep 2015 #33

DLC, Thirdway, corporatist, 1%er ... LuvLoogie Sep 2015 #39

HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!! WillyT Sep 2015 #43

Howard had already started to work for Hillarry a long time ago Rosa Luxemburg Sep 2015 #46

Dean was never the same Geronimoe Sep 2015 #51

unrec BooScout Sep 2015 #60

I remember sitting in the 2004 Dean caucus with Mrs. LP BuelahWitch Sep 2015 #73

+1 n/t Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #100

Dean used to give me quite a thrill, then he drank the Kool Aid oasis Sep 2015 #96

Are you kidding?! I thought you were a Hillary supporter? Cha Sep 2015 #97

Of course I'm for Hillary. oasis Sep 2015 #98

I was thinking that must be the case.. you really did your Cha Sep 2015 #99
