Sanders endorses three women running for Congress, and helping to raise money for them too.

[pantsonfire]

In fundraising appeals being sent Wednesday, Mr. Sanders asks for contributions to be divided among his campaign and those of Zephyr Teachout of New York, Pramila Jayapal of Washington state and Lucy Flores of Nevada. All three women have endorsed his presidential campaign.

1. Cherry-picking three candidates. Authorizing use of his photo and a quote on flyers and emails ...

... is a far cry from helping the PARTY in its effort to make down-ticket Democratic candidates more competitive.

All three women have endorsed his presidential campaign.

Is this quid-pro-quo? (Is that the right term?) Is Bernie saying that he's ONLY interested in helping Democrats who explicitly endorse him? That doesn't seem to be a very good way to run a revolution.

Hmmm... interesting. And revealing too.

[pantsonfire]

2. You have to crap on everything regarding Bernie Sanders...

...what about those three candidates? Are they running against Republicans? Has the party helped them in any way?

[NurseJackie]

4. Well... they're all three Democrats, so it's safe to say that the party has helped them.

In what capacity and the exact extent of that help is something that's unknown to me since I'm not involved with any of their campaigns.

But what I can tell you is that it takes more than three congressional candidates to change things in Washington. It looks like he's just phoning-it-in with his selective and half-hearted and conditional efforts.

You have to crap on everything regarding Bernie Sanders...

Not everything.

[pantsonfire]

6. "Not Everything"......really?

Why I feel betrayed by Bernie Sanders
Bad, Bad Bernie Buddies
Bernie's "meeting with the Pope" is a Hail Mary pass. you only do that if you're down with seconds
The insanity from the Sanders crowd is at fever pitch.
"Super predator warrior realist" vs "fantasist who’s at passionate war with reality"
The Cult of Bernie

8. I don't know, maybe she said she liked his tie or something once

[pantsonfire]

10. That'd be nice, let me just say....

I think Hillary Clinton is a great debater and has been unfairly criticized by the media (largely the conservative portion) for over two decades. She is a very willful person to have moved forward to where she is today, I'd be proud to have a woman break the glass ceiling and then proud to hold her accountable to her progressive pledges.

[JRLeft]

14. She's a conservative so she will govern as such.

[pantsonfire]

15. Perhaps, that's why we need to stay vigilant, even if she wins...

....the political revolution has just begun. #whisperofadream

[Ned_Devine]

26. I like the #whisperofadream reference

[NurseJackie]

16. Well ... you're trying to portray yourself as being a "victim" and me as being the "baddie" ...

You have to crap on everything regarding Bernie Sanders...

Not everything.

"Not Everything"......really?

... but what you've actually done is to quote the words of others in a ham-fisted attempt to attribute them to me. That's wrong. In your frenzy to copy and paste, you could have easily seen that none of those quotes/titles are mine, yet you quote them to support your accusation that somehow I "crap on everything".

You're trying to make me look bad, but frankly, I think such a tactic speaks more about your character than it does about mine. And it's not helping your candidate either.

But if that's the price I have to pay for Bernie's supporters to unwittingly sabotage his campaign, then I guess it's one I'll just have to endure. I'll "suffer" in silence, and smile while doing it.

[pantsonfire]

18. When you recommend something that says something about you...

Ham-fisted attempt....why recommend something? Do you want it be attributed to.....? We can simply agree to disagree on our attempt at arguing, since we are both going nowhere.

[NurseJackie]

19. Clicking the DU-Rec button means that I like or enjoyed reading the post. It also means ...

... that I think it's worth reading. If such things bother you so greatly, then perhaps an online political discussion forum isn't the best way to spend your time. (That's just a guess, I don't know you, so it's a judgement call that you're going to have to make.)

I suppose if you really want to get into some nitty-gritty research, you can also ferret-out some posts from Bernie supporters on which I've clicked the "DU-rec" button. Obviously, not as many compared to posts from Hillary supporters, but the fact that I have click the "rec" button doesn't mean that I support Bernie, it means that I thought the post was worth reading.

Make of it what you will, but I believe you're letting your anger and frustration get the best of you and you're lashing out at the wrong target/s. It seems that I get under your skin, so I'd make a friendly suggestion and recommendation that you add me to your ignore list.

No skin off my nose if you do. I won't be offended. The up-side of using the ignore feature is that you'll never see me "crapping" on your posts ... the downside is that when I do happen to "crap" on one of your posts, you won't be able to bicker with me about it.

It's a tough choice, I know ... but it's yours to make.

Good luck!

[pantsonfire]

21. I welcome your hatred, see you around DU. n/t

[NurseJackie]

24. Why should I hate you? That's silly.

I don't know you ... you're just an anonymous poster on an internet political discussion forum. Try not to take things so personally.

[pantsonfire]

25. I can express my opinions, I am a person, I stand by my statements...

....though you have hardly gotten under my skin. My friend and I have had hours of practically yelling at each other over Hillary and Bernie, you keep on trying, if that's your goal.

5. Of course he would give to "like minded" Candidates.

I donate monthly to Bernie's campaign and I would be PISSED if any of my $$ went to the likes of a Claire McCaskill, or a Tom Carper, or a Heidi Heitkamp, or any of the third-way crew just because they choose to have a meaningless "D" behind their name.

[Duval]

12. An "amen" is an appropriate response to this!

[pkdu]

43. Meaningless D...got it, thanks. Nt

[ThePhilosopher04]

7. He's helping the right candidates. God bless Bernie!

Real American Hero!

[virtualobserver]

27. That is exactly how you run a revolution

[ecstatic]

30. They're hypocrites! nt

[noretreatnosurrender]

31. Revealing?

Yes, I'd say your post was very revealing.

[brooklynite]

3. The downside to Sanders making these endorsements...

...is that the people who DON'T get endorsed stand out...

[Armstead]

9. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't

[passiveporcupine]

13. You got it

You had to know that was coming. Consider the source.

[pantsonfire]

11. They stand out and don't care or are secrectly endorsing....

....with such a large lead in endorsements why endorse now? She doesn't need any more incumbent support.

[fun n serious]

17. Yep. I vote NON Sanders endorsed nt

[LadyHawkAZ]

22. All three are Democrats

Are you now advocating voting against Democrats?

[fun n serious]

23. No nt

[colsohlibgal]

20. Seems To Make Sense

Going out of your way to support women who see things largely like he does seems fine to me.

I really like Zephyr Teachout, she is someone to follow who may well get to the top.

[ecstatic]

28. He bribed them to get an endorsement?

Hmmm...

[pantsonfire]

29. That's something you should look into....please report back. n/t

[ecstatic]

32. No thanks. I'm not obsessed like the BernieBros would be

if the situation were reversed.

[pantsonfire]

34. Ok, thanks for your thoughts, n/t

[redwitch]

46. Sen. Sanders is working to get down ticket Dems elected.

Which should make you happy. Ecstatic even. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. You should make up your mind.

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. Well done.

That is how you do it.

[GreenPartyVoter]

47. Exactly. Give to deserving candidates.

[Capt. Obvious]

35. Holy shit

I only see two posts in here

[pantsonfire]

36. NurseJackie likes to converse frequently, anything you want to add? n/t

[Capt. Obvious]

37. No

It's best not to give her attention.

[pantsonfire]

38. I suppose, I mean on this thread in general....n/t

[Capt. Obvious]

39. In general

Starvation diet

[pantsonfire]

40. Let me know how that works out for yah...n/t

[Capt. Obvious]

41. Works great

Feel free to feed them and let me know how that works out for yah.

[pantsonfire]

42. Off topic....I was talking about the OP. n/t

[pkdu]
