Bernie just got Booed by his supporters

[Cattledog]

When he said support Clinton/Kaine. MSNBC

[kstewart33]

1. Awful news and the media will gorge on it for the rest of the day.

[eastwestdem]

2. I hope they do. It discredits Sanders supporters, which is exactly what the party needs right now.

[L. Coyote]

15. If they booo Bernie, they are not Bernie supporters nor are the with us on this: #StrongerTogether

[MichiganVote]

52. I suspect they'll prove you wrong on that.

[mcar]

60. This should make the media realize that these protesters

are not Democrats. I doubt they ever actually supported Bernie too.

[boomer55]

3. probably because were pretty damn sick of the status quo.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. And they say Berniebros are a myth?

[geek tragedy]

12. they've always been there.

their numbers are greatly exaggerated because they're very good at seeking attention

[SidDithers]

34. Yup...

Sid

[we can do it]

94. Could not agree more.

[stopbush]

9. Or, maybe they finally realized that anyone who spends

their entire professional life in government - whether mayor, Rep or Sen - is part of the status quo.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

42. Including Bernie Sanders himself.

[pandr32]

85. And he was in contest for the nomination

He did promote plenty of anti-Hillary sentiment because he was in a contest and I believe he really did want to win and was up against a very strong opponent, but now that cat is out of the bag with some of the supporters--there is no putting it back in.
I believe at this point Bernie should squarely face the residual negativity and call it out. It was politics--nothing more (all is fair in love and war--and politics, right?). He is behind her and Kaine now and we have a fascist dictator wannabe to send back to his gold-plated tower.
Time to grab this thing head on.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

98. Agreed on points. I hope it's not too late.

[pandr32]

110. Me too!

[RonniePudding]

10. Well you might get your wish about the status quo

Only I don't think it's the change you're looking for.

[emulatorloo]

31. probably because they never supported Bernie in the first place

Some fantasy Bernie who never existed. Not the life long progressive who's spent years in the 'status quo' us govt fighting the good fight.

[Loki Liesmith]

63. did you mean "we're"?

[RBInMaine]

69. Probably because they are being wildeyed radical NUTJOBS who have no sense of reality.

[MFM008]

4. More likely anarchists

That true Bernie supporters.

[workinclasszero]

6. Or Greens

[HerbChestnut]

8. They're his delegates

[Maru Kitteh]

32. Doesn't mean they aren't anarchists or Greens or some other filth.

It all gets back to the same thing. Witless fools or conscious disruptors, either way they're working to aide Putin and Trump.

[emulatorloo]

51. Then why are they booing him?

[anneboleyn]

74. Great. So Trump will nominate Supreme Court justices b/c these idiots provide excuses for the media

to focus on anything other than the positive messages of speakers at the DNC. And because of their petty protests, Trump could actually win and among many other things nominate justices who dominate the court for decades. What a bunch of fucking selfish pig idiots.

[DemonGoddess]

5. jesuschristonapogostick!!!

What the hell is wrong with them?

[CrowCityDem]

13. That's what's wrong with America. If you don't get your way, you say "fuck everyone else".

[TeamPooka]

20. Millennials, can we give them a Participation Trophy and tell them they won?

[SFnomad]

23. How about if we give them a binkie and tell them they have a time-out in the corner? n/t

[we can do it]

95. They'd throw it like little steph curry when he didn't get his way.

[JaneQPublic]

28. LOL.

Funny, but there's a lot of truth in there. If Bernie were to be elected president, you know in 3 months, they would toss him aside as a fraud, because he hadn't accomplished everything he promised, just as many did a few months into Obama's first term.

[sarae]

67. +10

[pandr32]

89. Exactly!

[Armstead]

40. The Establishment does that too

It's just that they have the money and corrupted power to get what they want most of the time

[CrowCityDem]

45. Yeah, Hillary giving massive ground on the platform was a real "fuck you" to Bernie. Please.

[Armstead]

50. It works both ways -- Just admit it

[CrowCityDem]

53. Admit what? Those Bernie people never gave an inch, and they still expect to be coddled.

[totodeinhere]

14. I don't think they were booing Bernie personally. What they were boing was the idea that

we all need to get behind Hillary. But the booing was a big mistake IMO.

[RBInMaine]

78. We DO need to ALL get behind Hillary, unless you want the Crazy Scumbucket Trump. Period!

[Blanks]

16. They're used to being against 'things'...

Some folks don't understand that sometimes you have to be 'for' something.

[Peigan68]

17. This could get even worse

I've heard rumors that some of Bernie's delegates plan on chanting "lock her up!" when Hillary's name is put into nomination on the convention floor, in order to embarrass her in the most humiliating way possible, by using the chant from the RNC against our own party's nominee.

I wasn't sure I believed it until I heard about the way these delegates acted at that breakfast this morning and now the way they are booing Bernie himself.

[Maru Kitteh]

46. Anyone chanting that at the breakfast should be ejected.

Anyone behaving in a hateful, disruptive manner should be shown the door.

[demwing]

62. "I've heard rumors"

where did you hear that?

[TeamPooka]

18. One Bernie marcher just said 4 years of Trump as Potus will teach America for ignoring them

She just said it tio reporter walking next to her on MSNBC
So that girl can go fuck herself.
Anyone else who believes the same can go fuck themselves too.
If you think drowning makes someone a better swimmer then you're a fucking idiot.

[Justitia]

37. These are the people who brought us GWBush & 2 right-wing Supreme Court appointments. -eom

[WhiteTara]

38. Would she be one of the paid demonstrators?

I just read a few minutes ago that that is a thing.

[TeamPooka]

43. Well, she earned her money there. nt

[RBInMaine]

71. Simply INSANE people. Totally INSANE. Their minds are nowhere near reality.

[anneboleyn]

77. And 40 years of Supreme Court nominees. Fuck these idiots. This goes WAY BEYOND "4 years of Trump"

[Tatiana]

19. I really believe many of these people are grieving.

And others are Republican plants.

Real Democrats will do what is necessary to stop Trump.

[SticksnStones]

21. In an interview just now on MSNBC

A Sanders supporter marching in protest: " we are not democrats. Many of us will never vote for Clinton. I want Jill Stein or Bernie Sanders but I think four years of Trump will do less damage than 8 years of Hillary "

These are not allies.

Why are we reacting as though the vocal Sanders supporters are in practice, democrats? This is Democratic National Convention, FFS.

All that booing, he can't lead his own supporters!!

[TeamPooka]

24. Funny thing about a Golem but it always turns on its creator. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

65. Greens don't have a fucking brain cell in their stupid little heads. They are NOT allies.

Privileged little lilly-white shits who are perfectly happy to drown the entire country so they can prattle "I told you so" and imagine a triumphant victory that, in actuality had no chance whatsoever of being realized.

To them I say, FUCK YOU ALL.

[NurseJackie]

22. And to think ...

... they actually wonder why it is that they are held in such contempt, so frequently ridiculed, and seldom taken very seriously.

To quote Susan Sarandon ... "FUCK THEM!"

[SticksnStones]

26. ^^^^^THIS THIS THIS^^^^

[liberal N proud]

27. Exactly

[treestar]

33. and complain we need to listen to them and we'd better listen to them

and "court" them. There is nothing that would work besides just giving the nomination to Bernie. Why would we do that?

[NurseJackie]

44. Those individuals who are making asses of themselves cannot accept reality...

... they never have, and they probably never will.

[NurseJackie]

80. I was accused of "hate" today because I wrote that I was looking foward to hearing ...

... the speeches from Booker, the Flotus, and Warren. By not mentioning Bernie, I was demonstrating how much I "hate" him.

They're never satisfied.

[Loki]

87. It has become the new "Determined to be Offended" reaction,

and the sad realization that nothing will satisfy them, so it is time to stop being the enabler

[DemonGoddess]

61. ^^^This!!!

EXACTLY!!!

[JaneQPublic]

83. Looking at the bright side...

...at least there have been no reports yet of the "Fart-In" they threatened earlier.

http://www.npr.org/2016/07/24/487081526/rallies-marches-and-a-fart-in-philadelphia-gets-ready-for-the-dnc

Way to keep it classy, BerniBros.

[NurseJackie]

91. Oh dear me! :-P

[Blue_Tires]

25. To be fair, that's a Frankenstein of his own making, sadly...

[SticksnStones]

29. Was THAT Speech the best he could do

to tamp it all down?

I think not.

[Armstead]

48. No sadly it is the making of an abusive Establishment

[geek tragedy]

56. Those people being idiotic nutjob assholes is nobody's fault but their own.

These are the people who wanted Bush to defeat Gore.

Their deficient temperament, intellect and values are not Hillary Clinton's fault, or Obama's fault, or DWS's fault.

[Blue_Tires]

59. Bingo... You just said the magic word again!

So please tell me how an "abusive Establishment" prevents them from showing a basic form of civilized fucking courtesy? Take as much time as you like

[Agnosticsherbet]

30. I am sorry to see a man with his integrity tossed

Under the buss. But I am honored to share the space.

[brooklynite]

35. Just to be clear: these were his DELEGATES...

...not protestors or a rally crowd.

[WhiteTara]

47. OMG. Okay for them.

[Walk away]

36. So much for the revolution...who do they want to lead them into the future???

No one is pure enough. They will just have to go stand somewhere and yell. Oh wait...that's what they are doing.

[CrowCityDem]

54. There's more to being a progressive than trade deals. You might want to figure that out.

[leftynyc]

58. Stop the

DRAMA QUEEN BULLSHIT. Kaine is NOT a right wing conservative by ANY stretch of the imagination. Frankly, at this point, you should be banned from here for even posting that repulsive bullshit. I'm sick to death of the purity trolls around here. Especially you new ones.

[leftynyc]

102. Yawwwnnnnnnn

This is the DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND - look up its mission statement and stop your pathetic bullshit AND your pathetic whining about censorship.

[leftynyc]

109. LOL - ANYONE

who calls Sen Kaine a right winger on the DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND doesn't belong here and hasn't said one fucking thing about "ideas". Go cry about censorship to someone who gives a crap.

[qazplm]

72. you should turn in your brain card

I mean if you aren't going to use it...

[RBInMaine]

73. What you have just said is beyond the realms of reality. Simply off the wall.

[obamanut2012]

76. Kaine is neither RW nor a Conservative

He is an actual PROGRESSIVE. And, I hope we have sixteen years of HRC and Kaine.

[JaneQPublic]

82. Yes, and a solid Left Liberal, according to his On The Issues Chart

...based on his voting record:

[MineralMan]

99. No. Not here. Not now.

Do not attack Democratic candidates in that way.

[Armstead]

41. Correction -- They booed Clinton and then yelled We Want Bernie.....

[CrowCityDem]

49. If they have no respect, we have no obligation to treat them as anything but the garbage they are.

[oberliner]

55. It was more than just booing

It was sustained shouting out and general belligerency through the entire remainder of his speech.

[onecaliberal]

57. I'm a strong Bernie supporter but I have to say, WTF are folks thinking.

4 years of trump will teach us?!? This country won't survive 4 minutes with that piece of crap in office. We CANNOT let trump in office. Dear god make them stop and think. Fuck

[DemonGoddess]

64. Unfortunately

there are enough of them who feel entitled to whatever they want, and don't SEE the risk to the rest of us. I'm not saying you, or any other REASONABLE Bernie supporter. None of you fall in with this shit at all.

[peggysue2]

66. Anyone

And I mean anyone who believes that 8 years of Trump wouldn't gut the U.S. and the Nation's constitutional guarantees (which sadly we too often take for granted) is dangerously deluded and/or as unhinged as Donald Trump. Cutting off your nose to spite your face is childish and counterproductive. Anyone who followed Sanders and believed his message is spitting on both with that attitude.

There's a reason Trump loves Putin, a former KGB officer. The Donald wants Putin's Iron Fist. He wants the power of the man who steals shamelessly from his own people, who throws all dissidents in prison (or worse), who lies with impunity all the while strutting and preening like a peacock.

Russian exiles tell the horrifying truth about Putin and what he's done to their country They're warning us now.

Winter is Coming.

[anneboleyn]

68. Bernie getting booed + Trump's "bounce" = media story for the day. Thanks "supporters"

for giving the media and republicans a talking point to focus on ALL DAY AND NIGHT. CNN is hysterically yelling that DWS had to be escorted out by security, the clip of Bernie getting booed is being played over and over and over, and CNN hysterically discussing Trump's YUUGE "bounce." CNN hysterically discussing how "anti-Hillary" the crowd is -- not anti-Trump. And now they are showing endless loops of "Bernie supporters" screaming and booing and waving signs.

I am sorry but any idiot who was booing Bernie and contributing to the media hysteria is NOT a friend of the Democratic Party and is actively contributing to the election of Trump. Any idiot booing Bernie is contributing to Donald Trump nominating justices to the Supreme Court. Fuck these idiots.

[mvd]

79. If they are booing Bernie, then they weren't true supporters IMO

They just want turmoil. The media will try to blow it out of proportion, but in the end there will be enough unity to beat Trump.

[Me.]

70. So I Wonder How He Liked It

Being booed

[onecaliberal]

75. Can't they round these people up and kick them out? Take away their credentials?

[msongs]

81. its the tulsi gabbard wing of the party in action nt

[Cattledog]

84. Friend of mine at the rally (he is a Bernie delegate from PA) confirmed

that there was a minute or 2 of booing but he thought it was more cathartic and he said that most people got what Bernie was saying.

[eShirl]

86. FORMER Bernie supporters

if they ever actually were

[StraightRazor]

88. Bernie didn't get booed...

The idea of voting Clinton/Kaine got booed.

Nice try.

[obamanut2012]

96. Yes, Bernie was booed -- he was the speaker

[forjusticethunders]

90. I wonder if any of these people are on Putin's payroll.

Sadly, this wouldn't be the first time an American leftist and/or populist movement has been used as a tool of the foreign policy of an authoritarian state (in fact, it wouldn't be the first time in this cycle)

[Maru Kitteh]

92. Those were not REAL Bernie supporters, they were anarchists, Greens & other ass-debris/infiltrators

Shame on them for booing Senator Sanders! They should be ejected from the convention.

Fuck them!

[zalinda]

93. You don't understand why?

A huge amount of people are in economic sinkholes which are getting deeper every day. Under Obama, I lost $20 a month in entitlements, when you live on $758 a month, $20 is a lot of money.

Bernie talked about ECONOMIC problems, which is one of the very reasons that he resonated across party lines. Hillary is a SOCIAL liberal, as is Kaine, which will not stop the decline of income. Both are ambivalent about the environment and both are supporters of fracking and the TPP. (I know that Hillary said she was against it, but she was under a lot of pressure to say so.)

Democrats used to be for the working people, whether blue or white collar, but that is no longer true. All you have to do is look at what has been happening in the last 8 years.

Let's face it, when you are losing your home, you don't care if it is a Nazi who helps you save it or a Gandhi. You hope for a Gandhi, but you will take anyone if it means you can take care of your family.

Trump says he is against the TPP and has said so from the beginning. He also says he is against NAFTA, a trade deal which lost many of them their jobs. A trade deal which was touted by Hillary's husband. They trusted him and they lost their job, they trained for another job, and lost that. I know one guy who went through 3 training cycles and is now unemployed again. He is 55 years old and for all intents and purposes is a broken man. Bernie gave him hope that he could find a job again, and that hope has been dashed. He will never vote for Hillary, he sees her as part of the problem. He is angry at the way the Democrats treated Bernie and has quit the party. He was a life long Democrat.

Others look at Hillary with the environment in mind. It is actually our greatest threat, much more than ISIS. We have reached a tipping point, a point that we, a species, may never survive. We are losing insects, which is food for the animals at the bottom of the food chain. Hillary has promoted fracking in other countries. We are losing clean water. When our leaders think that war is more important than the threat of species extinction, something is wrong. Poor people are being sacrificed to the war and environment gods. People with money can move to a more hospitable environment, poor people can't.

Bernie was a hope from many factions of the populace. He was booed to show their dissatisfaction with out come of the primary. The feel they were robbed of all hope in the future. If you were in their place, could any of you blame them? You are comfortable, at the moment, you have money and the ability to change your future living conditions.

I remember both Gore's and Kerry's candidacy, and how supporters were sure that they couldn't lose. We are in the same place in history. The Democratic Party again thinks that it can't lose, as they turn a deaf ear to the very people they need to get them a win.

[Yukari Yakumo]

97. Ever get that feeling of deja vu?

Bernieites are Naderites 2.0
Hillary is Gore (with more personality)
And Trump is Dubya on steroids

Ever get the feeling this is 2000 all over again?

[Armstead]

107. Maybe if the Democrats had paid more attention to the....

extremely legitimate points raised by Nader and his supporters about corporate control, the need for more democracy in politics, etc. there would not have been a 2.0.

To quote someone or other "Those who make reform impossible make revolution inevitable."

[beachbumbob]

101. Some Bernie supporters weren't really Bernie supporters....they were

The far left looking for a protest

[annavictorious]

103. Don't create a mob unless you're prepared to live with the result.

Looks like Sanders is under the bus.

[Armstead]

106. Enthusiastic support and passion is not the same as a mob

[B Calm]

108. and right now they have justifiable anger about the ways things were handled at the DNC.
