Bernie is kicking ass on Twitter

[democrattotheend]

Look at the hash tag #RNCwithBernie. He's had some great tweets.

Here's my favorite:

What a hypocrite! If Trump wants to "fix" trade he can start by making his products in the US, not low-wage countries abroad.

And on instagram, he specifically said

Those who voted for me will not support Trump who has made bigotry and divisiveness the cornerstone of his campaign. #RNCwithBernie

I miss him! He's been so quiet since endorsing Hillary.

1. Here's another good one

Trump: “I alone can fix this.”
Is this guy running for president or dictator? #RNCwithBernie

40. Imagine the hue and cry if Obama had said, "I alone can fix this."

Hell, most Republicans think he DID say that, or at least acts like that. The "Anointed One" and all that malarkey.

46. Do Not Have to Imagine

You are right. President Obama never said anything like what Donald Trump said in his speech last night; however, Republican started the Messiah meme. I think the also started the sparkle pony meme in an attempt to mock all the things President Obam wanted to accomplish. In addition, there was the 2012 Mitt Romney RNC convention speech where Romney claimed President Obama thought he could slow the rising of the tides.

Also, imagine if President Obama had given such a doom and gloom speech at one of his conventions. If President Obama had spent a year, or more claiming America was not the greatest country on the planet Republicans would have likely called it treason and asked why he hated America. We lived through eight years of people being called traitors if they said anything negative about President Bush, America, or American foreign policy.

56. They did have their period of fake outrage after Obama delivered a "You didn't build that" speech.

Obama said it in the context that the things we accomplish occur essentially because we accessed products and services built by others; rarely did anyone get to where they are totally by themselves.

But that didn't stop our local politicians from acting like Obama called every business owner a racist name or something.

Trump, Bernie supporters can see through you very well!

[grossproffit]

3. OMG! He looks so chill. Awesome photo.

[democrattotheend]

4. I'm impressed that he uses a tablet and tweets

Not bad for a septuagenarian.

[Greywing]

6. I think Bernie is getting ready to kick some trump RUMP!

[carburyme]

8. Yes!

Good to see! Wifey took his pic?

[democrattotheend]

17. I guess

I don't know who took it, but that would make sense.

[Joe the Revelator]

12. That picture is great. Just fucking awesome.

13. Bernie still has a VCR

I love that man.

[AlbertCat]

33. Bernie still has a VCR

Well, I still have and use a VCR.

There are all these great tapes of "Dance in America" that simply aren't on a disc.... or streamable.


I also got an all regions blue ray player. So much good stuff not in "region 1".

[Beartracks]

41. And the time is set correctly.

No flashing 12:00 for him!

Although, it probably WAS 12:00 when that speech finally ended!

[progressoid]

45. We just used ours last week.

Hadn't used it in a couple years. My sister had never seen Gross Pointe Blank so we fired up the old VCR and dug out the VHS tape. Still worked.

[progressoid]

44. I noticed that too!

[FighttheFuture]

66. Looks like VHS -> DVD burner machine. Still around.

[bigwillq]

5. Great photo

7. Thank you Bernie!

Go Bernie!!

9. He's watching MSNBC.... eom

[FailureToCommunicate]

10. Keep their feet to the fire Bernie!

[aikoaiko]

11. +1. Bernie is great.

[AllyCat]

14. Uh oh. Another poster told me and some other supporters of Sanders

That there is no longer such a thing as a supporter of Sanders.

[democrattotheend]

16. I still consider myself a supporter

I'm not Bernie or Bust but I will always be a Bernie supporter.

[AllyCat]

18. Yeah, well according to his poster we don't exist.

Just thought I'd let you know.

[JudyM]

24. They can believe whatever they want. And they do.

[still_one]

27. It is one person's opinion. One should not try to extrapolate anything from that

[AllyCat]

28. Of course it is. Just venting because people here

Are still nasty and condescending to anyone who supported someone other than Clinton in the primaries.

[still_one]

29. understood

[Pacifist Patriot]

47. Evidenced by the top recced post on the Greatest Page

I still cannot believe that was not only allowed to remain, but has the highest recs right now. Just disgusting.

[Silver_Witch]

62. yes and my response to that ugliness was removed

[Silver_Witch]

60. Hugs AlleyCat - we are real!

Ignore the meanies.

[kestrel91316]

54. Me, too!

[Wounded Bear]

20. Bullshit...I'm a Bernie lover, that won't change...

I'll vote for Hillary, but I still support Bernie, he's a progressive's progressive.

[AllyCat]

43. Me too. Just saying.

[calimary]

67. I would imagine that there will always be dedicated supporters of Bernie Sanders.

But their hearts are big enough to make some room for Hillary Clinton now, too. And for that, I'm very grateful. Thrilled to have him in the family, and grateful to his supporters as well!

We're gonna need all hands on deck to keep the White House in Democratic hands, and maybe flip the Senate. Every word Bernie will utter at the convention next week will be campaign gold.

[calimary]

15. Rock it, Bernie!

This has me looking forward to his remarks next week, at OUR convention!

[turbinetree]

21. His comments are going to be no hold bars, and he will go after the drumpfster

He will not allow the racist bigot to own and lay claim to any "trade deal "

Honk--------------for a political revolution

[calimary]

23. His contributions next week will be most welcome and appreciated.

As Hillary said a little bit ago - it's gonna be so much more fun now that we're on the same side!

[turbinetree]

48. WE need to get out and vote

Honk-------------------for a political revolution

[calimary]

55. YUP! I'm honking!

EVERYBODY make sure you get out and vote!

And please plan to put even a bigger exclamation on that, looking ahead to 2018. We are blessed that year, even though it's a midterm election year, because Bernie himself will be running for reelection. He'll draw attention like nobody's business. Which will only help. After all, he's said many times that he wants that revolution, he wants more progressives running and getting elected (which, if we get a lot of them, and a lot of support for them, we could take back the House that year). And a President Hillary Clinton would need all the support behind her as can be drummed up!

Don't forget, the first midterm that President Obama faced, in 2010, and guess what happened then (when Democrats mostly skated or stayed home and didn't care that much)? We got the fucking teabaggers. The Tea Party arrived and has dug in like a tick on your leg from a long walk in the woods while wearing short pants. It was a DOUBLE-fuck because it was a census year, like we have every ten years, when a new census is taken, and Congressional districts are redrawn to conform to the changing population numbers. And with fewer Democrats showing up during that midterm election, the down-ticket results were disastrous, PARTICULARLY in the statehouses where we had an epidemic of CON governors getting elected. And they bring in their people, who get to supervise the results of the census - especially the redistricting part. Gerrymandered districts that favor aging whites automatically lock in some really reprehensible "representatives" who can then relax for the next decade's worth of Congressional elections because they're a lock to keep winning. Because the CONS have thoughtfully and strategically "tailored" their districts to their best advantage.

I'm glad that the next Presidential election cycle is on one of those "zero years" - 2020, when Democrats tend to turn out more. But even so, our side HAS TO get better during the midterms.

[turbinetree]

61. Perfect......................

I have a big Tick in my leg and his name is (R) Andy Harris representing the Club for Growth agenda along the Eastern Shore, and was also backed by the Koch's and there "Dark Money" web, under the disguise of being 501(c) 3 and he is a Tick.

Yep, he is a Tick, and blood sucking one at that.

Take a real close look at who is representing you at the local, state and national level are they a TICK

Get out and vote folks, thousands of human beings died so that you could, there is no excuse not too

Democracy is not a spectator sport get involved-----------------tag your it




Honk------------------for a political revolution

[JudyM]

26. Exciting to anticipate this! Along with that great visual, just great.

[turbinetree]

49. Like I said to Calimary-----------------

We need to get out and Vote

Honk--------------------for a political revolution

[Hekate]

19. Yay, Bernie! Keep it up!

[mobeau69]

25. Van Jones just said the last Bernie supporters are now onboard with "Her".

That was the speech I wanted. Same ole hateful shit. An epic fail!

[tallahasseedem]

39. I've noticed on my Facebook feed...

that a lot of the pages I follow where a lot of Bernie supporters were everywhere and not ready to support Hillary were singing a VERY different tune after tonight's speech. They didn't like what they saw.

[wysi]

30. Bring it, Bernie!

Can't wait for the convention next week, he'll be scorching Trump.

[ismnotwasm]

31. K&R

[AlbertCat]

32. Yes.... Trump's "rigged system" comments....

..... that he says is supported by Hillary... is merely a tactic to make it seem Sanders' supporters are gonna vote for him instead.


No doubt many Hillary supporters will fall for it. But it's really an obvious, blatant tactic to divide the Dems as much as the Repugs are divided.

[padfun]

52. And the Dems should use that same tactic against the Repugs

By trying to divide the Cruz faction from the Trumpshirts.

[AlbertCat]

53. By trying to divide the Cruz faction from the Trumpshirts.

Well, I'm for it!

[PoliticalMalcontent]

34. K&R

[oberliner]

35. The responses to that Instagram post are mostly anti-Hillary

The prevailing response is "Not Trump. Not Hillary."

I think it would be good for everyone if Bernie would pivot towards speaking positively about Hillary, which he has not done much of.

[AlbertCat]

36. What IS it....

..... with the "did you hear what Bernie didn't say????!!!!" complaints?

The ridiculous things have been circulating since the beginning of the primaries!

[oberliner]

37. Bernie's tweets and posts were great

I just would love for him to talk more about the positives with respect to Hillary rather than just the negatives about Trump.

[GreenPartyVoter]

59. Just no pleasing some people, eh?

[DemonGoddess]

38. K&R!

42. The man has a stomach of steel

for watching this Muppet.

I couldn't handle one more second of tRumps in any form,
my kid and his girlfriend and I had pizza and watched the Shining for the 10th time.
Tomorrow were going to the ocean so I can attempt to wash this week out of my brain.

[Sunlei]

51. Mrs. Clinton needs a VP who does what Sanders does right now. knocks trump right off the perch.

[avaistheone1]

57. Precisely.

Kudos to Bernie. He is such a solid man and a person of conviction.

People who need a tax cut are not those who are raking in millions and millions each year, but the struggling middle class.

We have a situation now where Wall Street banks are not only too big to fail, they are too big to jail.

We need a pro-worker agenda, not an austerity agenda that will strangle the middle class of this country even more than it is hurting today.

He's on fire!
