Bernie Sanders
Showing Original Post only (View all)Surprisingly, I'm seeing some Bernie supporters dialing it way back today. [View all]
OK, maybe it isn't a surprise. We've seen people get dejected before in this campaign. New York is a tough loss though and all of the cautious Democrats who were seduced by the populist aspect of the Sanders campaign are now taking that deep breath and asking for that ol' party unity again.
I'm not sure where I am actually. I'd love it if Bernie just won out and got it by the popular vote but I'd take the nomination anyway we can get it at this point.
And losing the nomination and Bernie running as an indie? I honestly don't see it if the GOP gets solid on one guy. If Turnip runs as an indie though?... (He probably won't though because I STILL think he's a Clinton plant.)
What do you all say? This IS a discussion forum, right?

Fuck that. This isn't 2008, and Bernie isn't another establishment Party insider like BO and HRC.

It's not one damned way different than when Bernie won his primaries over Clinton.

No YOU go easy on discussing Sanders supporters. You want to discuss them take it elsewhere.

According to Bernie, it's not about Bernie, so it really cannot be just about his candidacy.
