Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumDamn, aren't we getting a bunch of lessons in kitchen sink politics?
When people with power and a lack of integrity are facing an existential threat, they will say anything and do anything to survive. We are seeing it with the flurry of attacks on Bernie. This is how it is to fight against the establishment. You get to see the full ugliness of human beings come out.

(14,691 posts)in GD (not GD-P) from someone titled "Hillary Clinton will be the nominee" or something like that, decrying her dirty trick campaigns in 2008 and 2016 - but they're still voting for her. They closed with think about it folks" I responded that THEY should think about their vote a little more.

(14,691 posts)"President Cruz"? i said I'm not falling for the scare tactics anymore I revised it to add that recent polls show Sanders beats the Repugs, not Clinton so it 's they who could be responsible for the hypothetical "President Cruz"

If they are scared of President Cruz they better wise up quick.

If you haven't bailed out of Wall Street and used the money to buy property in the Woods and started growing your own food, don't wait too long.
It takes two or three years to get everything up and running.

And Chelsea.
Bernie needs a Bill, maybe not that nasty but someone to go out there with a few kitchen sinks of their own.
I want to say no more Mr Nice Guy, but that's not Bernie.

(2,450 posts)If he does that, if he becomes the establishment, then what's the point? That is exactly what they want us to do.
This is a marathon, not a race ... and it is hard. You cannot win every battle in a war, keep your chill and stay in perspective.
It's not over yet. Not even close.
