“Bernie or Bust” – Over 50,000 Sanders Supporters Pledge to Never Vote for Hillary

The citation is in no way an endorsement, suggestion or encouragement to anyone to adopt a Bernie or Bust position. The citation is intended to be viewed as a primary relevant article, only.

Hillary is the candidate of the corrupt establishment. The status quo wants Hillary in the White House so the parasitic gravy train can roll on. DNC head and Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is one of these people. She isn’t interested in reform, because reform wouldn’t advance her personal interests. She wants things to stay the way they are, because it’s working great for her.

Genuine liberals are finally starting to see these people for the frauds they are, which is why the Democratic Party is currently splitting in two. On one side there are those who understand United States policy doesn’t need a tweak here or there — it needs to be hauled off to the emergency room immediately. The so-called “elites” in the Democratic Party are just as disconnected and clueless as their Republican counterparts. Instead of accepting that paradigm level reform is required, they merely double down on their support of cronyism and rent-seeking.

It's notable that the existence of such an organization will make it more difficult for Her to get selected.

That is very plausible as Bernie as an individual brought a lot of new people to the polls. LiberalArkie Mar 2016 #1

Just like RFK did and when he was not on the ballot, they just did not go and vote. Obama brought a lot of new people to the polls also. No one knows how many of the ones voting for the person Obama will turn out for either Sanders of Clinton. Personality elections are like that. If there was a Democratic party that stood for the same ideals year after year, things might be different.

That is what the Republican party has, theirs is simple, "We hate anyone not like us".

About how Trump is tearing the Republican party apart, however; we never seem to be worried about the split in the democratic party and how obvious it has become. As a life long democrat, I find this to be much more important. We, democrats that is, have prided ourselves on equality and help for the middle class and poor we hope for equal justice under the law etc. We helped to bring about the upward mobility of the middle class and poor along with some republicans who would appear to be democrat these days since the democratic party appears to be moving further to the right as the republican party appears to be going off the chart into unknown territory when it comes to right leaning views. If we don't get the party back to where being a democrat used to be, I for one say I can't blame the young people of this nation if the decide to call the practices of the party into question. After all they and we have to live under the rules and regulations these politicians allow to become law.

Thank you for posting this. As democrats I believe we should be discussing this phenomenon more and viewing it with a more critical eye. Millennials and many other groups in this country appear to have awakened and do not appear to be willing to accept crumbs from the table anymore. I personally believe the nation is at a crossroad where both parties are concerned.

Are you trying to categorize the primary election season as an invalid one?

attend his seminars.

People who speak at his seminars are all white male Republicans or Libertarians.

That this site is manipulating the left and our earnest support for Sanders doesn't surprise me. This is what RW propagandists do…..even if they have to pose as lefties for awhile to do it.
