Bernie is an ass! What a self-serving old fart! [View all]
He didn't call Hillary to congratulate her on making history, she called him to no doubt, reach out. He should receive a phone call from every super delegate and they should tell him now, they will not vote for him ever!

That's one person's rude comment. In life some people are inartful, gloating winners and others are sore losers.
There is a Sanders supporter here posting that Hillary Clinton has been indicted. He got the information from a source in Moscow, Russia!
And so it goes...

And let's face it, many of the loudest posters here approach politics like obnoxious sports fans, the kind who can't walk to the mailbox without chest pains but who love to go on about how "we" beat so and so.

You're not talking about a very principled or even intelligent group, so the thought that someone could be motivated by actual concern with making the world better isn't even in their mental universe. It just doesn't compute.

that went on here during the last campaign, like posters sharing their romantic fantasies about candidates.

That was weird. Seriously weird.

I was monitoring freerepublic in the Bush years, and that was really gross. They had a ladies prayer circle going on for him, and all the women would project onto W. the qualities they wished their own husbands would have.

"Oh, he's so romantic to Laura!" "He's so loving with children!"

Ick.

The convention is at the end of July. As Bernie said, the world could look totally different by then. Go Bernie!

Reason being, that she lied about Nancy Reagan, and the AIDS epidemic to try to change history.
My brother died early on in the AIDS epidemic. Had there been early research, he might be alive today
Mistake or not on Clinton's part I cannot forgive someone who wanted to change the perception of what and who killed my younger brother.
Blood is thicker than politics.

Oh, and I cannot vote for Drumpf either.

I guess I am skipping the presidential race this time around.

There are good races down ticket though, and I intend to show up for them.

"You can't expose the corruption of the political system and then expect us to get behind that same political system," said Gary Frazier, a leader of a group called Black Men for Bernie


The revolution has begun. The fight continues!

PEACE

It just goes to show you that all their talk of 'purity' was pure projection.
Now it is morphing into hubris...
