“Revolutions” always eat their own.
@wagonmound: in case you wonder I flagged you for the use of that insulting sexist word. You seem to like it a lot. Try arguments and sentences instead of name calling and sexist put downs.

They were looking for a reason to vent: enter Bernie
I get that. But they are venting at the guy who they think was “wronged” for him saying the flipping obvious, that Clinton needs to win and we need to support all the efforts to make that happen. So in their mind Sanders is wrong, and Sanders is a sell-out it seems (in BernieOrBust logic).
Amazing.

That is exactly why I think he is appropriate. His supporters won’t boo him and the Hillary folks must appreciate his endorsement. Unity!?
Posted a clip in another thread that captures the scene. Just incredible to watch.
Ah, they booed him this morning, as was mentioned in the very article we are commenting about.

Agreed, she’s finally doing what’s best for the party and what’s best for the election. But what took her so long? Why did she have to be convinced to do the right thing? I think that DWS should have “done the right thing” long before now.

However I suspect gaveling in the convention he would not be met with much negativity. And if he did he would be showing everyone his loyalty is to the nominee.
You present your statement as though you, yourself, are not part of the party …
Silly me ----

Heh heh.
Yes, comrade, we are all equal members of the party, from Penny Pritzker to the lowliest of the unemployed. They listen to us all, equally.
Meh … nice try though —
Yup

I know, right? I mean when I told them we should keep all Bernie supporters and delegates out of the convention they gave me some bs about the “will of the people” and how the delegates “won” their vote. And that the party decides by the majority vote. What fascist bs nonsense is that, eh? We should all get exactly what we want always, whether its possible or not.
P.S. You won the bet on the six pack. Granted it wasn’t for the original reasons you stated that she would be “removed” because of Bernie. But fair is fair. Well unless it isn’t.
Fair or unfair, she as the top of the DNC is the inevitable target of grievances. It’s inherently an unthanked position. “Did I do anything that deserves my resignation?” might be something that’s in her mind, which is entirely understandable, because she didn’t. But sometimes you need to remove yourself even if you didn’t do anything glaringly wrong. This is one of such times.

And it won’t be enough for you will it? You won’t settle for anything but the impossible will you? You’ll throw the country under a burning bus just to be a smug, sore loser won’t you? Your fees fees will never be soothed until you get everything you want on a silver platter will they? And if you don’t get what you want in total…well…then…you’ll just teach us all by giving us a Trump presidency won’t you? Then what will you do, sit at home and watch the country be destroyed and say, “See…look what we did, we showed them! From now on, everyone will do what we want! See!” And, by making it possible for Trump to be elected, every forward step your “movement” has made will be a total waste of time as you will never, ever get this kind of momentum again if Trump wins. What exactly is it, that makes you or any other rabid Bernie supporter any different than a Tea Bagger?
None.

I wouldn’t characterize it as him being booed. What was booed was the mere thought of voting for Clinton. There’s a distinction.
