(59,795 posts)You wanted him instead to be the 2016 Dennis Kuchinich - running from the left, safely in the Democratic party ... and having no real impact on the race. What you certainly did not say in 2014 is that YOU would support Bernie over HRC. I assume you supported him getting say 5% of the primary vote, being in the debates period.
In fact, I see MORE agitation from the party powers to get Bernie to end his campaign now than I have ever seen in any other campaign. In 2004, Kuchinich stayed in to the convention - after Kerry had enough pledged delegates to win on them alone. In 2008, Clinton stayed in a few days after Obama had more than half the pledged delegates. Yet there was never this PUBLIC get out now, you are hurting the nominee.
Not to mention, you did not "help write" anything for Bernie. I seriously doubt that anyone working for Bernie, then or now, looked at your 2014 anonymous post on DU and said "yeah, this is a great platform". Not to mention, do you see ALL Democratic candidates refusing superPAC money?
