With a picture of Bernie..is that really fair?

Don't you think the guy feels some obligation to the all the people who came to his rallies and gave their hard-earned money? Not like they were Wall Street billionaires.

... 100% effort behind defining Trump as the used car salesmen he is

[bkkyosemite]

2. Not wasting anything...for the Bern!!!!!!!

[Buzz Clik]

26. "Bern Victims"

[uponit7771]

42. I got a hide because of the phrase, they're a little gluteus maximus hurt now

[wendylaroux]

31. no sore loser here,your the one supporting her.greasy.

[JPnoodleman]

35. Nobody owes fealty to the Clinton Dynasty. n/t

[Gomez163]

3. Unless I witnessed it here I would not believe it.

I remember 2004 when Kerry lost. Unfortunately Bush won by 3% in the popular vote. 51-48. I just had to accept it. It was hard but we lost.

[Gomez163]

4. Now the Hail Mary is for Hillary to be indicted. These are Democrats?

[Buzz Clik]

27. They are also cheering for her to have health issues.

I am very picky about the company I keep. I kinda wish they'd take off.

[leftofcool]

40. I too am picky and this place is disgusting.

[sadoldgirl]

5. I would like to see, that everyone can hear

his policies wherever they live in the USA. If
that needs some money, so be it. I cannot give
much, but his message is worth so much more!

[dinkytron]

6. Loser? Bernie? The mofo has come from nowhere with no super pacs to capture the imagination of

millions and scare the shit out of Hillary and the establishment. Yeah, it would have been a Cinderella story if he was on top right now but what can you do. I think what is happening is bigger than a presidency. He has impacted American politics more than Hillary ever will. And its not over.

[vintx]

10. Yep pure spin. She was practically anointed and had to fight for what she thought she had in the bag

8 years ago!

[redwitch]

15. Yes.

He has done something pretty amazing and I am glad for his candidacy.

[dinkytron]

21. Me, too. Could you imagine if he were not in the race? Hillary would have cakewalked. This is

some shake em up campaign season. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. The pressure is really off Bernie right now. All he needs to to is stay on message and stay healthy. YOU GET A GOLD STAR BERNIE. JOB WELL DONE. When think how deeply moving this campaign has been and continues to be. So many moments. So many beautiful people being brought together He has planted a beautiful bold vision moving for America that will be hard to erase from the country's consciousness. An unwavering and decent man with more guts than anyone.

[SFnomad]

7. It's hardly a low blow ... there isn't anything in the article that isn't true n/t

[CrowCityDem]

8. He is right about some Bernie supporters refusing to give Clinton any credit for winning.

[RazBerryBeret]

14. I wanted to congratulate the group last night...

but I was blocked.
there are 850 people blocked, and 405 subscribers... you've blocked twice as many people as you have subscribers... what's up with that?

[Ned_Devine]

30. It's difficult to congratulate when you're blocked...I am too

The difference is that I have no interest in congratulating a group of people that for the most part only offer rolling smiley faces and gifs of people rolling their eyes and so on. I'd like to think that I'm on a site with other mature liberals, so I just pretend they're not even here.

[riversedge]

34. Read some of the blocked folks posts and you will not have to ask.

[Akamai]

38. I have been blocked too, and I did nothing to warrant it, I believe. Someone just very heavy-handed

with the blocking option.

I was going to write that I support Bernie but would support Hilary if she wins the nomination but I couldn't say that as I was blocked.

I wonder if blocking is often intended to portray pro-Bernie people as jerks, this as posters cannot post mild things and Hillary promoters get to call Bernie supporters extremists while Bernie supporters, blocked as they are, cannot contradict that narrative.

Go Bernie!

[wendylaroux]

33. credit??? are you shitting me? she had the entire dnc,media backing her.

Bernie had none of that.H was given this nomination.

[NCTraveler]

9. "With a picture of Bernie..is that really fair?"

No. That is really really shitty. Talking about the headline in contex with the photo.

[Punkingal]

11. Fuck the Iraq war cheer-leading New York Times.

[brooklynite]

29. ...and Frank Rich used to write theater reviews; what's your point?

[winter is coming]

13. Expected propaganda.

Beatings will continue until unity is achieved.

[KingFlorez]

16. He knows he can't win, yet he's staying in just to attack his opponent

So the title fits.

[hellofromreddit]

19. Promoting good policy =/= attacking Hillary.

Even if his better policy positions and record make her look bad by comparison.

[Renew Deal]

17. It's well deserved

And the writer explains why

[CanadaexPat]

18. It's pure laziness by the writer.

[amborin]

20. NYT has been in the bag for HRC since the get go

[BernieforPres2016]

22. Fuck the New York Times

I just hit my 10th free article for the month so thankfully can't read this one. Neither the NYT or Hillary's campaign will ever see a dime of my money.

[SidDithers]

23. Nope...nt

Sid

[Skwmom]

24. I would not expect any less from that trash tabloid that LIED about the changes they made to an

article about Bernie.

[aikoaiko]

25. Frank Bruni is just another dispicable HRC supporter.

[Fast Walker 52]

28. I don't want to click on it-- how is he supposed to be a sore loser?

[onecaliberal]

32. Fuck those lying war loving mother fuckers

[jillan]

36. If this is her campaign's strategy to unite the party

Good luck with that shit.

[Igel]

37. QED.

Quod erat demonstrandum, that is, not quantum electrodynamics.

The upthread posts pretty much make the point.

"The refusal to grant victors legitimacy bundles together so much about America today: the coarseness of our discourse; the blind tribalism coloring our debates; the elevation of individualism far above common purpose; the ethos that everybody should and can feel like a winner on every day."

The ideal has shifted from a colloquium in which everybody listens to decide on what the common good is and how to achieve it to a post-game brawl in which the common good is making the other team eat dirt.

Embarrassing, actually, but how much of the world is run. Very East European, c. 1923.

[reformist2]

39. More unprovoked rudeness from the MSM. It says a lot about where they're coming from.

[BreakfastClub]

41. That article is right on target. I agree, and it is more than fair. nt

[Joob]

43. Gee, I wonder why they're making such a big deal.

Most of us wouldn't be voting in the election, Bernie's the one who brought us out. First vote ever for Bernie, not corporate status quo. I only feel sorry for the people not ready for change. Too bad, it's coming, wonder if the Democratic Party will be apart of it? Time will tell.
