54% of the pledged delegates and 80% of the super delegates is a drubbing in a two candidate race.
So we better all pull together like hell if we don’t want Trump. And Trump is still courting Bernie. Dark money plays dirty.
On to the general now! Sanders supporters fought hard for their man, but only one person gets the nomination. Now it’s time to get behind the idea that Trump must never be elected President.
Good on Hillary. Now. On to the main event. Wonder what Bernie and the Bros will do now? Wonder what the Prez will tell Bernie in their meeting?
I guess that means she won’t be “limping” to the convention, huh.
That image of HRC in glowing white – her open arms to the public… just wow. I knew when I saw that happen in real time, the moment would become an iconic image. Just beautiful, meaningful and spontaneous. This is who she really is – and we are fortunate to have her.
And later that evening, when Sanders barely mentioned her in his speech, and his people booed her and he didn’t stop them. I will never forget the ugly pettiness of it.
A basketball metaphor?
I doubt he’ll do that, death knell for his career and he’d be the 2nd most hated man in the country. He’s bitter, but not that bitter. He’d never get any of his ideas or agenda put forth, Trump would do to him what he does to his contractors. Bernie’s not that dumb, he’s sees the big picture and he’d be a fool to choose that path.
Trash talking the more progressive half of your own party is no way to plan for the general. HRC can not and will not win without our solid support. Keep alienating and demoralizing us and see where that gets you six months from now.

Anybody who bases their voting decisions on what anonymous commenters on the internet say—as opposed to what the candidate and his/her campaign says—is using some pretty interesting criteria.
Sanders is himself filled with resentment, on edge, feeling like he gets
no respect – all while holding on in his head to the enticing but
remote chance that Clinton may be indicted before the convention.
I don’t give a shit if Sanders goes back to Burlington and sits on his porch and doesn’t lift a finger for Clinton or downticket Democrats as long as he endorses her and refrains from attacking her. If he actively campaigns for any Dem candidate I’ll be very pleasantly surprised.
He ran a far more successful campaign than anybody would have predicted last year, and for that he merits congratulations.
So, sulking and pouting it is, then.
President Trump.
The threats are endless…
Some … I took it as more of a threat —
How 'bout this…
Constantly being a petulant whiny little baby and threatening to “sit out” the election proves the lie that you’re the “more progressive wing”. A true progressive would do anything to advance the ball forward in the name of progress (there’s that word again I swear it’s a root word for a political label) even vote for a candidate that is in the end indistinguishable from their preferred candidate in the end goals, but different on (and can actually describe HOW to get there) means to those ends, a fake “progressive” will do the opposite and prove they never actually gave a crap about actual progress just the freebies a charlatan and con man offered them in exchange for bolstering his ego.
Yes, I can see that. I’m hoping the romantics and idealists will come round. I don’t hold out much hope for the purists and Clinton Derangement sufferers.
Es una caracteristica de personas sin un minuto de experiencia viviendo en un pais lleno de fascismo.
If you think the US isn’t already swimming in fascism, you are blind as a bat. Fascism, or the 1% by any other name, is precisely why Sander’s message got so much traction in the first place.
Ah, we can add Fascism to the list of things you know jack all about.
