Hey, Bernie: Bring it to the *CONVENTION*. A petition:

http://act.rootsaction.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=12302

I just signed. You should too. This DEM-since-1972 ( i.e. me) expects to be represented in Philly next month.

I don't care whether the Kissinger Wing of the party likes it or not.

And if the senator can't or won't do it, I'll go and represent *myself*.

Delegates both pledged and super, more votes, yes democracy should prevail. The nominee will be Hillary Clinton.

I guess only Clinton supporters have responded since I see that there have been replies, but I don't see the actual posts.

Knowing that their hate gets blocked is one thing I really like about DU.

and give the media something to talk about. We should try and come together- even with our differences and unit as a party. We have an opportunity to elect the first woman President, and smack down a racist bully at the same time. Why spoil it with disruption and ciao?

This sounds to me like something that Karl Rove thought up, and his trolls are pushing. This kind of shit will only make things worse. This won't help Bernie, and it won't help unite the party, but then again like I already said, this sounds like a right wing tactic designed to make the Democrats look bad.

I am looking forward to voting for Senator Warren for President when she decides to run and will vote for downticket Dems this time.

My sexism has nothing whatsoever to do with:

An extremely divisive "you are with us or against us" campaign

A history of military adventurism approved of by her good friend henry kissinger

Promoting fracking around the world, hey who needs clean water anyways.

A pro-Israel policy that supports hardline conservatives in Israel.

A history of making the wrong choices at the wrong time.

Supporting low wage H1-B hires in the US at the expense of US job seekers to such an extant that she once joked she could run for the Senate in Pujab, India.

Giving us an "improved" gold-standard TPP that will allow multinational corporations to sue us over what few environmental laws remain in place.

The insiders who are good friends with drumpf and the bush's pretending to be outsiders.

The Haitian relief effort that helped so many non-Haitians. Well to be fair it did provide about 6000 jobs (of the 100,000 jobs it was supposed to bring) at the expense of six hundred acres of rare farmland in Haiti.

Not that that will stop the Unity Commissars from alerting

And more vital and uninterrupted discussions are happening elsewhere that are very interesting, JPR for one.

Right wing talking points, and ideas, are accepted as the norm, and pushed by people who want to simply cause trouble, and rule over their board like the "authoritarian" leaders they "say" run DU. Hope you and the rest of the gang find a nice home over there.
