GOVERNING is about "governance and issues." But you need to WIN election first. BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #58
Tell that to MLK and all those other non elected social justice warriors throughout history... HumanityExperiment Jul 2016 #65
They influenced social movements, which is different. BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #67

What campaign? Bobbie Jo Jul 2016 #105
Except he no longer actually has a campaign obamanut2012 Jul 2016 #170
Again, his campaign was about more than just about winning the most delegates for the nomination. aikoaiko Jul 2016 #186
Other headlines which Politico could have used Eric J in MN Jul 2016 #14
That would be leaving out the most telling moment of the meeting. eastwestdem Jul 2016 #19
Some just want to let it fester. NWCorona Jul 2016 #20
Sanders has a strategy to take back the House? brooklynite Jul 2016 #24
I was referring to this paragraph. Eric J in MN Jul 2016 #27
Marcy Kaptur didn't have an opponent and is in a safe Democratic seat; pretty bold choice brooklynite Jul 2016 #123
Thousands of people registered to vote in order to vote for Bernie Sanders and so he's done plenty. Eric J in MN Jul 2016 #129
Senator Sanders liberal from boston Jul 2016 #153
Should they have reported the booing? Renew Deal Jul 2016 #45
Not without more context. Eric J in MN Jul 2016 #161

I agree with you despite being a man myself... comradebillyboy Jul 2016 #81
Edited to clarify "some" men MaggieD Jul 2016 #93
When I watched the three-candidate Democratic debates Eric J in MN Jul 2016 #97
MY impression was he constantly interrupted her and wagged his finger in her face MaggieD Jul 2016 #103
Was Sanders nicer to Martin O'Malley, never interrupting him Eric J in MN Jul 2016 #107
Not that I recall MaggieD Jul 2016 #109
If Sanders interrupted both HRC and O'Malley, then it wasn't sexism. NT Eric J in MN Jul 2016 #111
But he didn't MaggieD Jul 2016 #112
Sanders interrupts O'Malley Eric J in MN Jul 2016 #120
No he didn't MaggieD Jul 2016 #122
Sanders reigns with interruption and not even close the number of times he interrupted OMalley. seabeyond Jul 2016 #171
And HRC interrupted Sanders more than she Eric J in MN Jul 2016 #173
Clinton interrupted 8 total. Sanders 23. Sanders to Clinton over 20, to Omalley under 5. seabeyond Jul 2016 #176

They booed him for this? Elections are not necessarily about winning, but about transformation aikoaiko Jul 2016 #30
So dissing Bernie is the strategy? askeptic Jul 2016 #95
It's not a "strategy", it's an expression of frustration. George II Jul 2016 #102
It is a demand to have a primary war chest formed against them and to be dogged out office TheKentuckian Jul 2016 #179

In either direction. We don't know the context of the meeting and the booing. George II Jul 2016 #196
Well, your highness, let's just cut to the chase. Bernie bad, Hillary good. Happy? Vinca Jul 2016 #197
Were you as equally angry with those who booed Barbara Boxer, Dolores Huerta, etc.? George II Jul 2016 #198
