Related: About this forumSanders did not steal Hillary's historical moment. Please just stop it!
How could Hillary have a moment of celebration when the celebration has been going on for months (some would say 8 years)? It's not a surprise - we've been told the math seems like forever now. You know that bore at the party that keeps repeating the same old stories about that 'whatever' episode from the past - the friend you politely smile and nod at?
What were you expecting? You make your bed, you lie in it.

(2,461 posts)It's a tired, old, beaten rug of a story to most by now. Bernie's campaign still has an ongoing story. I'm glad he shared it. And, yes, it was for his crowd, so, sorry if you felt left out or not particularly special. That feeling you are having, friend, is being egotistical.

If we're going to talk about egotistical people, tell me, how egotistical is is to be running for president just so you can get your damn name in the history books?

(12,689 posts)He's still in the mindset that he can win and is going to keep campaigning. That is ridiculous.

(7,960 posts)The man believes in his message but I'm pretty sure he knows he lost. He wants to get something out of his endorsement. Can you blame him?

The party has gone to hell, and don't forget that the Clintons took it there.

demwing
(16,916 posts)Why? It was harsh.
ChisolmTrailDem
(9,463 posts)The OP's subject line implies that some Hillary supporters are whining about Sanders stealing her moment. That's what I was reacting to, not the defense of Sanders.
LOOK AT MY AVATAR FOR FUCK SAKE!

(2,461 posts)I think I've gotten beyond touchy defensive offensive now. Time to do some work! Get the SD to get on record before the GE to denounce the TPP. Hold her feet to the fire!

demwing
(16,916 posts)But in my defense, an avatar is just a pic that anyone could use, you didnt use the sarcasm tag, and it would not have been the worst thing posted today.

(2,461 posts)many ways to measure success - and I think the democratic party, in balance, won. Hillary's supporters are recognized for their terrific support, and Bernie's supporters are recognized for their contribution to saving the democratic party.

So why let someone who can't add straight ruin the moment women have been working so long and hard to achieve.
