Endorsing Clinton says a lot more about the Endorser than it says about Bernie Sanders.

And I don't mean that in a good way either.

As they say, you are judged by the company you keep. Well I think that also applies to the people you endorse.

Note: This refers to the groups and politicians who know the score (though I'm sure you know that).

1. It says that board rooms are not connected to their members

[sufrommich]

2. Right. It's all a big conspiracy.nt

[HerbChestnut]

5. No conspiracy.

It's just classic corruption. Most of Hillary's big union and organization endorsements have come without any input from the members of those organizations. They're made by a few individuals at the very top of the hierarchy. The 1%ers if you will.

[sufrommich]

6. You realize they made their endorsements the same

way in past elections right? What's the difference now?

[tk2kewl]

7. no difference...

and that's part of the problem

[HerbChestnut]

9. Kinda supports my argument, don't you think?

Unions and political organizations have always been scrutinized for the way they operate at the top. It's no big secret.

[NCTraveler]

3. It appears I am currently in great company. nt.

[1StrongBlackMan]

4. The grapes be sour, huh? eom.

[Skwmom]

8. No. I am glad the corrupt hacks and sell outs in Washington haven't endorsed Bernie.

That was a big check in "Bernie is the real deal" column.

[1StrongBlackMan]

10. Yeah ... Okay. eom.

11. How many HRC supporters on DU

made - or implied - nasty slurs against DFA or MoveOn when they didn't endorse our candidate?

[Agschmid]

12. This one didn't. And won't.

[BlueMTexpat]

13. Exactly. eom

[randome]

14. Too many Sanders supporters post vitriolic and hyperbolic calumny against Clinton.

Not specifying anyone here. But your line 'judged by the company you keep' may be something to keep in mind should Clinton win the nomination.

I won't be terribly disappointed if Sanders wins the nomination. But those who have a 'burn all the bridges down' mentality may find things a tad...uncomfortable at DU should they not get their way.

Just saying it might be best to avoid the calumny when we can talk about issues instead.

And denigrating endorsers for endorsing someone you don't like is not a good way to win any debate.

[asuhornets]

15. Why is that the case?

When Bernie gets endorsed I am sure you don't complain.

[emulatorloo]

16. Endorsing HRC while Black or Endorsing HRC while female really seems to agitate some here.

I would love to hear your explanation as to how Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Travyon Martin is so 'corrupt' that she needed to be disparaged here at DU and have her Facebook page trashed.

17. Attacking Democrats says a lot more about the Attacker than it does Hillary supporters. n/t
