...and no one can be blamed for yours and the Sanders campaign's refusal to acknowledge ANYTHING Hillary has proposed or is in the process of effecting.

I've never seen a more delusional campaign. The entire effort is teetering on the edge of outright sophistry and covering itself in it's own mythology. Losing campaigns don't take precedence over the will of the people (as expressed by the majority of voters). There isn't a co-presidency in line for the runner-up. This isn't about Sanders anymore, despite his desperate, pathetic attempt at relevance in this video address.

...I understand your focus is still wrapped up in that losing campaign.

There's never been an acknowledgment by the Sanders campaign of the interests, needs, or wishes of supporters of the Clinton campaign. It's not surprising to find you mired in defending a long-dead campaign and ignoring the majority of Democratic voters.

convinced I am a liability to the party. He's a ding-dong, and not a nice one. He despises far too many people to ever be trusted with great power. I believe he has been of benefit, but he is not the right stuff for our presidency.

But the cartoon's cute, and if he continues to harass the party leadership for being too weak in the face of business iniquity that's fine with me.

...good luck with that.

It's been evident throughout the campaign that governance and the legislative process is little more than an afterthought of Sanders' quixotic campaign. He's still caught up in the fiction that there's some sort of 'movement' which transcends his failure to garner majority support in the primary.

Now he's seeing his supporters peeling off faster than he can sort out why a losing and faltering 'revolution' deserves more attention than the will of those actually voting.

While Bernie is reminding her that's there's work to do.


"It's been evident throughout the campaign that governance and the legislative process is little more than an afterthought of Sanders' quixotic campaign."

Actually Bernie has played close attention and followed the rules set by the DNC. I find it interesting that you would use that word. Mainly because I'm a huge fan of Cervantes but what about Sanders makes you say that?

...other than the idea he's been selling that he can harangue the legislature into bending his way.

The entire 'people's revolution' has proven to be an empty promise, not withstanding the utter ridiculousness of deriding the Obama coalition's accomplishments while claiming his weak run for office represented some sort of significant movement.

Stealing voter data from the DNC. First complaining about the SD's then saying he wants to flip them to overturn popular vote. Going to court every primary. Yea he 's paying attention to the rules.

OR

You can struggle AGAINST the majority of progressive Democrats and - with the Republicans helping you - exasperate the problems that we face.

She was the 11th most liberal member there. By any reasonable measure, she's a progressive Democrat.

To claim otherwise is simply a lie.

Anyone who does not concur with the Hive Mindset will be called a fringe, too radical, a pony lover wanting free stuff, a closet racist, a Commie, egotistical, a misogynist....

Fall in Line. Accept Out Solution. Don;t ask for Anything.

Nah it doesn't make one confident that there's much room to with with the conservative "progressives" who will hold the reins.

Or there should be 50 Sanders supporters sitting outside still counting delegates and screaming she doesn't have enough to win while Clinton is being sworn in.
