So, we basically have a losing candidate taking a victory lap

[Freddie Stubbs]

Secretary Clinton has won the popular vote, has a solid majority of pledged delegates, and the support of a large majority of superdelegates. She has won in every every measurable metric. But unfortunately Senator Sanders is refusing to acknowledge that he has lost, stubbornly continuing like a WWII Japanese soldier hiding in the jungle refusing to believe that their Emperor would surrender to the inferior Americans.

Sanders' insistence on making demands even after being rejected by Democratic voters is the height of arrogance.

Hillary is already leading Trump by a wide margin even without the endorsement of Sanders. Sanders is risking overplaying his hand. If Hillary calls his bluff and wins without him she will be more emboldened to tack toward the center, knowing that she can do without the support of fringe politicians like Sanders.

[tonyt53]

1. The time has come and gone for Bernie to exhibit humility and grace.

[workinclasszero]

14. Way too late for that already

He has shown to the world what kind of "democrat" he is by his graceless grandstanding and autocratic insistence that the party bends to his will.

The will of the LOSER of the primary!

[Cal Carpenter]

2. to be fair, some significant percentage of Dems voted for Bernie

and mainly due to the policy areas in which the candidates differ.

The idea of the Democratic convention is not only to name the nominee, but to shape the party's platform. One might argue that Bernie, along with his delegates, have a responsibility to represent those who voted for him in this process. Not arrogance.

While I've been told here on DU that the platform is old-fashioned and irrelevant now, I would still like to think there is a point to the process.

[brooklynite]

16. He could clearly state that he fully supports the nominee AND will fight for a progressive platform

...or, he could not.

[workinclasszero]

37. He could....

***crickets***

[Demsrule86]

56. He has to concede. Otherwise he mounts a shadow campaign to show how great he is.

and hurts us.

[Florencenj2point0]

104. He won't

[tonyt53]

4. In this upcoming general election, she had better have as much money as she can get

The GOP knows that this is their last chance at survival and they are wiling to spend whatever it takes. About those GOP donors - Trump has openly courted Sanders supporters. What is worse, taking their money and spending it against them, or taking the votes?Money doesn't vote, people do.

[zonkers]

5. Very true. The gusto with which these Reagan democrats loathe the Left is astounding.

[Ned_Devine]

55. Why was post 3 hidden?

[Demsrule86]

57. You can read the post right?

It was a malicious attack post.

[1StrongBlackMan]

86. Because 5 jurors are tired of the BS.

[Lord Magus]

92. Did you read it?

A better question is why there were 2 jurors who thought it was acceptable.

[Ned_Devine]

97. The one thing I would change is "psychopaths" and change it to "sycophants"

Other than that it is a very accurate statement.

[840high]

106. agree 100%

[CBGLuthier]

128. Yep, my thoughts exactly

[Juicy_Bellows]

130. + ∞

Absolutely.

[Ned_Devine]

140. All that aside, I still don't see a reason that the post should have been hidden

[Juicy_Bellows]

141. Me neither and I am glad you pointed out the strange hide.

I would have done the same thing. I do think psychopath was the catalyst for the hide or wool britches, not sure.

[Ned_Devine]

143. This place is getting a little creepy

It's hard to soar with the eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys

[Juicy_Bellows]

144. Well this November it will be turkey time.

Turkey and yams - I'm a mashed tater person myself or a nice maple pecan pie made with Vermont syrup.

[Ned_Devine]

146. ...

[k8conant]

154. I agree wholeheartedly.

[zonkers]

162. Group thug censorship working overtime? These days, IMO, a "hide" is often a badge of honor.

[upaloopa]

11. Bernie's pure campaign and supporters could never raise enough money for

a general campaign. It is time you all got off your high unicorns and joined the human race.

[niyad]

6. exactly

[RobertEarl]

7. Keep fighting for us Bernie

You are a voice for the Left that has not been heard in a long time. It is important for us and the country for you to keep after the owners. It's is a sign of a healthy democracy that you are in it all the way. Don't let any one dissuade you from practicing democracy.

[ciaobaby]

22. Well said. Thank you

[athena]

28. Bernie does not represent the Left.

I am part of the Left, and he does not represent me. What he represents is the white male contingent of the Left. Some women and some minorities may go along with that, but he does not even try to represent the interests of anyone but white, liberal men.

[cali]

30. that is pure unadulterated bull.

[athena]

31. Thanks for being open and listenining to other people's views.

If he represents you, that's great. And I suppose that's all you care about.

[cali]

40. you made a vile, false claim. Did you really think you wouldn't be challenged?

[Amaril]

49. It's kind of her stock in trade

Hmmmm..........messed up the link..........

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2174667

[JCanete]

43. Come on, if you have a view then support it. You didn't give us anything to listen to, just rhetoric

Sander's policies and consistent message throughout his career are far more favorable to minorities and marginalized communities than Clinton's. The fact that he was able to bring a disaffected white middle class along to that message, and to get them to support a united front that is pushing for free upper education and a 15 dollar minimum wage is a spectacular achievement that the Hillary camp and the media successfully mischaracterized for the sake of divide and conquer, and you all bought it.

[Demsrule86]

73. don't care ...he lost.

Only words I want out of his lips are, "Congratulations Sec. Clinton...I concede. Hell, his endorsement is worthless at this point...just concede.

[JCanete]

85. The question remains, for you, and for many others, what the fuck you do care about, cept for your

team winning. Can't you just enjoy a nice game of basketball or hockey or a shouting match about coke versus pepsi? Why do you have to reduce politics down to a sport when so much actually matters?

and what you're saying doesn't make sense anyway. Why does it matter if he concedes if his endorsement is worthless? If nobody is listening then why do you care that he's still campaigning?

[pangaia]

33. Fucking bull shit.

[SirBrockington]

52. Agreed

I believe he lost every state with a substantially diverse population. Most of the wins were in the Pacific northwest and smaller states in the northwest portion of the Midwest.

[PaulaFarrell]

64. Do they not count? n/t

[tonyt53]

80. Just as much as the southern states.

[PaulaFarrell]

83. well at least they vote dem in the GE

so i guess they count in that sense. BTW from Texas here, so really used to my vote not counting in the GE. I wish they would ditch the electoral college and go to popular vote.

[1StrongBlackMan]

87. Does Utah votes Democratic?

[PaulaFarrell]

116. No

Nor does Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas, Oklahoma ( wee, a Bernie state) etc.and a whole bunch of others. Gee, I am tired of this, this state matters, that one doesn't, which BW started with Hillary's camp saying white states didn't matter. Ditch the electoraklcollege, bring on popular vote, and then all our votes matter.

[1StrongBlackMan]

117. LOL ...

Gee, I am tired of this, this state matters, that one doesn't,

Isn't that exactly what you have done?

[PaulaFarrell]

121. Exactly the opposite

I think they all matter, in contrast to the poster I was originally replying to, Which is why i say, ditch the electoral college, bring on popular vote, then all our votes matter. Best way to increase voter turnout IMO.

[1StrongBlackMan]

142. Oh ...I could have sworn you responded ...

At least the PNW states (that went for Bernie in the Primary) vote Democratic in the G/E, as opposed to the southern states that have gone red.

[Lord Magus]

94. Idaho & Wyoming & Oklahoma will vote Dem in the GE?

Half of Bernie's wins were in states that will almost certainly vote Repug in November. Several are states so red they're shifting into infrared.

[PaulaFarrell]

114. So were Hillary's

What's your point?

[redwitch]

62. Nonsense. nt

[Florencenj2point0]

157. I agree

I am a liberal, though not leftist. I believe in well regulated capitalism, not socialism. I do not believe that solving income inequality will solve all other problems. That in a nutshell is the difference is what makes us liberal and not leftists. There is a huge difference and most people do not understand that difference. It is laughable. For instance leftists hated FDR. They hated that he fixed the economy just enough to stop the grand grand and glorious socialist revolution.

[coyote]

34. Hear hear!

[840high]

46. ...!100++++

[eastwestdem]

74. He's not fighting for you. He's enjoying his celebrity and his swanky Secret Service detail

(complements of us, the tax payers) for as long as he can. What has he actually done to advance his pet causes?

[LexVegas]

8. Yes. It's fucking unreal. nt

[SirBrockington]

53. Has there ever been a major candidate of either party that refused to concede or acknowledge?

In similar circumstances, both general election and primary.

[LexVegas]

54. If HRC would have done this in '08, she would not have been able to run again. nt

[obamanut2012]

84. Agreed -- and I would have called her out on it

[CorkySt.Clair]

9. I knew he wouldn't be able to stop the magic carpet ride

And if other people were footing the bill for me to fly around the country, and world, staying in $800 a night hotel rooms, I'm not sure I would want to quit either.

The good news is he's becoming irrelevant. The public and the media are onto the GE, which Bernie will not be competing. Thankfully.

[DCBob]

10. Bernie needs to come to grips with the fact the majority wants Hillary.

Its her vision and her ideas and her message that won.. not his.

[GummyBearz]

19. Well that sucks

More wars, get out of jail free cards for the rich, oligarchy, and alliances with Saudi Arabia was the last thing I was hoping for.

[tex-wyo-dem]

58. Hillary has a vision?

I mean, besides what she adopted from Bernie.

Status quo is hardly what I would consider a vision.

[PaulaFarrell]

67. Actually I think it was her name recognition that won

I couldn't tell you what her vision, ideas or message are. I know Bernie's, what are hers?

[DCBob]

68. Her vision is much like President Obama's with more emphasis on women's and children's issues.

Most Democrats are happy with President Obama and dont want to toss out the good things he has done for some pie-in-the-sky attempt to reach liberal utopia.

[PaulaFarrell]

71. So what is the vision?

I don't actually know Obama's either. In 2008, it was Hope and Change, closing Guantanamo, but none of that happened. So can you articulate what her vision is? You seem to be saying it's 'everything's just fine, carry on as normal' but there must be more to it.

I mean, I read about her assault weapons ban thing to day, and kudos to her. She's setting herself up against the the NRA when she didn't have to.

[DCBob]

96. Hillary is a pragmatic policy wonk type.

I think her focus will be on getting things done. Move the country forward in spite of the GOP.

[PaulaFarrell]

113. But what things?

Moving the country forward how?

[DCBob]

118. Unite the Dems and get enough Rs on board to pass legislation that is good for everyone.

She has a whole list of items she plans to focus on..

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/

[PaulaFarrell]

119. But can you not give me a precis?

A vision is stated in a sentence or two. What's the vision?

[DCBob]

120. That's precise enough for me... it will have be for you too.

[PaulaFarrell]

122. Sorry. that's just woolly words and means nothing

BTW by precis I meant summary. And if you're signing out now, OK, cause it's going nowhere.

[DCBob]

124. Bernie is the one who is full of "woolly words".

His "vision" is a fantasy.

[Lucinda]

145. Do your own homework. n/t

[PaulaFarrell]

158. mind yout own business

If you've nothing to say, why say it?

[1StrongBlackMan]

88. +1.

[larkrake]

126. her vision is short sighted and she has nothing in common with Obama

[DCBob]

129. So says you..

Who the heck are you??

[Herman4747]

12. IF BERNIE *DOESN'T* MAKE DEMANDS SOME OF...

WHICH ARE SATISFACTORILY MET, many of his many supporters would find themselves with little reason to vote for Hillary.

I don't think you want that, do you?

[SFnomad]

32. Yeah, losing SCOTUS for at least a generation isn't good enough of a reason for some people n/t

[840high]

47. I don't trust Hillary on Scotus.

[SFnomad]

65. Great ... so you'd rather let tRump fuck it up for sure ... brilliant ... #smh

These excuses just don't cut it.

[840high]

105. go away - I don't trust Hillary

Don't tell me what I can do or not.

[SFnomad]

115. I'll be here .. to remind you how you let tRump screw America up n/t

[840high]

131. The only one helping Trump is Hillary.

0 vote for trump
0 vote for Hillary

0+0=0

[SFnomad]

134. If you would vote for BS as the Democratic nominee, but you won't vote for Secretary Clinton ...

you are helping tRump and he thanks you for your support.

[840high]

138. Please tell him ur welcome - you seem to

know him well. I always vote for dems - down ticket is good!

[SFnomad]

139. If you "always vote for dems", but you'll take a pass on Secretary Clinton, you're helping tRump ...

and that also means you don't "always vote for dems" ... but hey, who cares about losing the Supreme Court for at least a generation, right?

[840high]

148. You don't seem to understand. I don't consider

Hillary a good dem. Sanders is my ideal dem. I'm through with you. Maybe you don't mind more wars, lives lost. The middle class screwed.

[SFnomad]

149. Trump thanks you for your support -- buh bye n/t

[bettyellen]

66. Love how she gets credit for everything Bill did except seat the best justice we have.

Gotta laugh at the disconnect.

[Demsrule86]

78. The Clintons gave us Ginsberg...

Trump want Scalia types...hmm...just admit you hate Hillary because she beat your guy, and you don't care about saving the country from Trump. You sound very foolish when you say you don't trust Hillary on the courts when the only other choice is Trump...unless ...you are a secret Trump supporter?

[Demsrule86]

75. They must be the most stupid people that ever lived...

if we lose the courts...the next 8 -10 presidential elections won't matter.

[DCBob]

18. Clue back to you: What if we take back the Senate and make up ground in the House?

Which is very possible. Is that something?

[Doctor_J]

111. Probably would have been more likely if we hadn't nominated one of the most distrusted

and disliked candidates in history. It's lucky Bill talked Trump into running. He's the one person she can defeat.

[arcane1]

15. One more day of this nonsense

[workinclasszero]

39. 4 more days

[KingFlorez]

17. Entitlement

It was never Clinton that wanted a coronation. It's been evident for a long time who really wanted a coronation.

[CorkySt.Clair]

27. Ironically

It turned out the Sanders supporters were the ones with the sense of entitlement.

[-none]

41. Sanders didn't run in 2008.

He also was not making plans and setting things in motion to run in 2016 from years before either.
Until Hillary announced her 3rd Way plans for running that is. That is when Bernie decided to run. He ran only using money donated by his supporters. No donations from Wall Street or Goldman Sachs. The same cannot be said of Hillary. Bernie aslo had to deal with the DNC leadership campaigning for Hillary, instead of remaining neutral.
Coronation indeed.

[KingFlorez]

50. Who thinks they should win despite losing the popular vote?

Sanders is going to the convention for a floor fight knowing very well that he lost the vote of the people. That says entitlement.

[-none]

60. He has not lost yet.

Why? Because Hillary has not won yet either. She does not have enough delegates. And it won't be over until a Democratic candidate for the Presidency is declared at the convention.
Yeah, yeah, I know the Hillary supporters have been declaring Hillary won the candidacy right after the first half dozen primaries. You haven't been correct yet.
Bernie is the kind of person to have on your side. He fights for you to the end. He is honest and straight forward. Able to work both sides of the aisle. No FBI investigations. No personal servers used for work. No scandals.

[KingFlorez]

81. She has more than enough delegates, she crossed that threshold last week

Clinton has a majority of pledged delegates, so the race is over. The pledged delegate count is what counts at the convention and Sanders is behind by almost 400 pledged delegates.

[-none]

91. She does not have the magic number of delegates needed.

That is why Bernie is still in there and has not conceded.

[KingFlorez]

93. You don't know what you are talking about

The required number of pledged delegates was 2026 and she has more than enough with 2219. The overall number require is 2383 and she has 2800. It's over.

[Lord Magus]

99. No, Bernie has lost and Hillary has won.

There's no more states to vote and no more delegates to allocate. She has considerably more than enough delegates to win. 2761 out of the required 2383.

And I literally could not give less of a damn about whether somebody uses a personal server.

[-none]

102. The FBI is sure interested in that server.

Or do you think that is just an inquiry because of curiosity on someone's part?

[840high]

108. Thank God the FBI cares

about national security.

[Lord Magus]

112. Your indictment fairy nonsense has nothing to do with national security.

You just wish the FBI would overturn election results you don't like.

[840high]

132. I wish for the truth. Obviously you don't. 'nite

[jamese777]

61. Its Only Symbolic

Bernie wins "Miss Congeniality." Hillary is Ms. America.

[Lord Magus]

98. "He also was not making plans and setting things in motion to run in 2016 from years before either."

That was part why Bernie lost. Winning an election takes planning. So does a successful "revolution."

And what could be more of a "coronation" than giving the nomination to somebody who didn't win it, like you obviously want to happen?

[Number23]

156. THREAD WINNA!!!!

It's been evident for a long time who really wanted a coronation.

Hell. YES.

[Ohioblue22]

20. One person's truth is another person's delusion

[Amaril]

21. "arrogance" LOL

Yeah, you'd know a bit about that, wouldn't you? The phrase: "Takes one to know one" comes to mind.

Never seen a bigger bunch of sore winners in my entire life.

Clinton may have won but MILLIONS voted for Sanders. We are not irrelevant. I know, I know.......it really chaps your hide that we exist. You'll just have to get over that.

[ciaobaby]

23. +1

[840high]

48. +2

[samson212]

107. +3

[Maru Kitteh]

24. He has overplayed his hand at this point.

Her lead against Trump has picked up steam, it's expanding steadily and should enjoy another bump now that the primary season is complete.

I expect SBS will honor his words and campaign with enthusiasm for HRC to defeat Trump, but he would have had much more collateral to work with to advance his agenda if he would have negotiated a deal with her earlier, when his support was more solid and wide.

[Alex4Martinez]

25. Let it go, Freddie.

The lines are drawn, people have taken their sides, and as your post suggests it's all over except the crying.

Nobody will be swayed to one side or the other by any form of reasoning, so commentary that dismisses the candidate that isn't your candidate does nothing but make DU suck.

[Orsino]

26. Sanders' demands are things we need. He should never stop demanding them, and neither should we.

You actually want those things, even if the Establishment calls them heresy.

[JCanete]

38. I want those things! I'm not sure everyone on this board does though. nt

[larkrake]

127. a majority of americans want those things, ignore the rabid few making DU hell to read

[Demsrule86]

72. What we need is for Sanders to put his big boy pants on and concede. nt

[justMYcause]

133. No Democrat I know

wants wide open primary elections or same day registrations. This is an invitation for disaster. Republicans would be more than happy to screw the Democrats. It happens, it is fact.

A voter must make some effort too. Voting is a privilege, but I also see it as a responsibility. Get yourself registered... Independent is not a party, and it is not the Democratic party. I fail to see why they (Independents) should be able to waltz in and pick our Nominee. Get some skin in the game...

Some have spent a lifetime building the Democratic party. Mr Bernie Sanders, did not spend a lifetime building THIS party.

He lost.. if he wants to be a Democrat, he needs to act like one. Goodnight Senator, please turn out the lights on your way out.

[99Forever]

137. Congratulations!

A new personal record. 0 to Ignore in ten minutes and 1 post!

You've got a real talent fo rthis.

[justMYcause]

161. I was a member here 10+ years ago maybe longer...

but I forgot my logins so I made a new account. I came back here because I see a lot of outlandish statements about HRC, rigging elections, and mystical mathematical grandeur.

5000 posts does not make one a better DEMOCRAT.

[Matt_R]

160. When you have conservatives joining the Democratic party because the republican party has become...

filled with extremists, you tend to get this isolationist thinking. The Democrat party is the big tent party, filled with centrist and conservatives as well as liberals and progressives. Get used to it.

[procon]

29. Is he hanging on to keep his fans engaged to burn down the convention?

They like to talk about their "fight" and their "revolution", and the convention is their last shot at a national stage and getting their message in the limelight, so what will they do? Sanders and his followers have already secured permits to stage outside protests. He's the classic disgruntled loser, and who knows what he's capable of, or what his bunch is planning to do inside the venue where they'll have live, prime time TV coverage from all the networks and cable shows.

[JCanete]

35. Saying he was rejected by democratic voters is in bad taste, and like the media at large,

is an effort to reframe an historic campaign that took a huge percentage of the democratic vote without taking a dime from Wall Street. So, um, its no surprise that Wall Street doesn't like this, and the big corporations that own our media certainly have a stake in defining Bernie's campaign as a loss and a failure on equal terms, but what is your stake in it?

Bernie is doing the one thing he still can with his campaign while he still has funding, and that's campaigning. No he can't win, but he can continue to get a message out that you won't hear at all once he no longer has a podium. You may not care about that message. I care deeply about it, and it won't be coming back around soon, so I hope he reaches whoever he can, especially the youth, because we need a better breed of politician going forward.

[Miles Archer]

70. Saying he's like "a WWII Japanese soldier hiding in the jungle" is even in WORSE EFFING TASTE.

But unfortunately Senator Sanders is refusing to acknowledge that he has lost, stubbornly continuing like a WWII Japanese soldier hiding in the jungle refusing to believe that their Emperor would surrender to the inferior Americans.

Seriously. Screw that...it's wrong on so many levels I wish I could "unread" it.

[GeorgeGist]

36. Why so bitter?

[grossproffit]

42. Many of us expected this. It's sad to witness.

[aikoaiko]

44. Its freakin awesome to watch. Bernie is very inconvenient to the establishment.

[Lord Magus]

100. It's freaking awesome to watch democracy being rejected?

[Sivart]

45. Trying to blame sanders for Clinton tacking to the right already???

Man, this is going to be hilarious.

[jamese777]

63. However she tacked

Resonated with the Democratic Party's primary voters and caucus attendees. She beat the pants off her opponent by 3.7 million votes. 56% to 43% and 34 contests won to 23 is an ass-whupping.

[JCanete]

82. So in your fantasy world, where we have this free society, and the message isn't managed in any

way by powerful interests, and all candidates "totally" have an even playing field, and people are just voting their consciences, and their consciences just happen to be leaning right, is that something worthy of celebration in your eyes? Is winning with an agenda that is pro-corporate okay so long as that agenda reeled in the win? What is the "we crushed your idealistic candidate into dust" argument supposed to achieve for you exactly? Why are almost no pro-Hillary posts saying "thank god we got Hillary because of issue one, issue two and issue three. They're just all "Wooooowoooo in your face suckers!"

[Demsrule86]

79. Tell your candidate he lost now concede. nt That is the only thing we want to hear. nt

[Lord Magus]

101. What "tacking to the right" would that be?

[SirBrockington]

51. +1

[PaulaFarrell]

69. I don't understamd how you can have been here 10 years

but all your posts are in the last 90 days? I wouldn't even remember I had an account. I mean, I think I created a couple here and there way back, but I wouldn't be sure. V strange.

[arcane1]

151. I liked their old persona better.

Just kidding, they both suck.

[jamese777]

59. It Was A Landslide

In modern day politics a ten point win is considered a landslide victory. Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders by 13 points (56% to 43%) in the popular vote. She won 34 contests to his 23 (60% to 40%). And she finished with a 387 delegate advantage in pledged delegates.

[guillaumeb]

76. I would be happy if HRC moved toward the center.

That would actually be a leftward move.

[CanadaexPat]

77. He deserves it, he did an incredible thing.

[Smarmie Doofus]

89. She will track toward the RIGHT.

Which is where she came from in the first place.

Sanders has nothing to do with it.

[panader0]

90. When I saw the title of this OP, I thought it was about HRC.

[Lord Magus]

95. She's the winning candidate, not the losing one.

[SirBrockington]

150. I wonder what the general election winner take all delegate count would be

Considering a general election candidate won California, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York. Without checking I think It'd be over 300.

[Lord Magus]

155. The states Hillary won in this primary would add up to 399 EVs in the general.

Obviously there's no way this map would happen in a general. Any candidate who could win every state in a general that Hillary won in the primary would win pretty much everything. It would be a 1936 or 1984 level landslide.

[AgingAmerican]

103. Her supporters will never understand what has happened this last year

[larkrake]

125. no, dont bother trying. at least we can identify those who are deaf and blind, cant think on

their own. Most were tombstoned by skinner, and they will be again, just a matter of time

[MyNameGoesHere]

109. I think he just forgot his keys in the

Refrigerator. It happens.

[w4rma]

110. What a surprise. Another nasty Clintonite thread about how they need but don't need progressives.

And I STILL can't tell the Clintonites from Republicans. They insist that they are "Democrats", but they never support or advocate for any Democratic policy.

[larkrake]

123. she will beat Trump, but will find defeat in congress and world issues.

everyone will have her on ignore and Bill will just muck things up.

If she ignores Sanders, the Revolution goes into overdrive

[Tal Vez]

135. They will work it out.

I'm sure that they're still talking. I trust them both.

[Zambero]

136. It's more of a leverage lap

I will do what I can to deliver my people, provided...
