2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThom Hartmann today on his show shut down a very loud anti-Bernie supporter who said negative
thing after negative thing about Bernie, some of them clearly not true, but she had a head of steam on and kept on barreling through.
His message, on his show, don't overly criticize either Hillary or Bernie -- we have to unite soon and we don't want to destroy Democratic candidates!
Absolutely Keerect!
Although I sure support Bernie, we have to come together before long and only Republicans and Republican-supporters want dissension in our ranks!
Go Bernie!

(39,215 posts)unite soon. You know we are all adults here even though we are not treated that way. I know the primary will be over soon. I know that we still have the convention. And at the convention the SDs vote. Until then I do not have to do anything I do not want to.
After the convention it is still going to be my decision. I do not need anyone else telling me how I MUST vote. I am perfectly aware of how horrible Trump is. I also know why I do not like Hillary and why I like Bernie. I first voted for JFK in 1960 and I did not need any help deciding how to vote. Not have I needed help since then.
But that decision will not come until November. And it will not help me decide by constantly reminding me that I cannot make up my own mind.
Until there is NO chance left I will be voting for Bernie. Anyone else I will vote for reluctantly.

(1,122 posts)That’s why, for example, Nevada happened—with Roberta Lange, Barbara Boxer, etc.
The establishment Democrats—and professional pundits and other insiders who are for Hillary Clinton—are attempting to exert control over people who tend to vote for Democrats, and who support Bernie Sanders, to comply.
They think they are actually in an authoritative position to be able to do this.
My response to those types of people is one that is a message which is not advisable in posting here at Democratic Underground.

(1,779 posts)can repeat Republican lies about all the Democratic candidates but it doesn't help our party to do so, especially when such apparent division might demotivate Dem voters and sour the public about our leaders.
Go Bernie!

(1,122 posts)I looked to see if there was any video on Thom Hartmann’s site for that program of Friday, 06.03.2016.
No luck…just yet.
Perhaps in a day or two.
I was watching.
She was a sHillary troll. And, for those are “with Her,” you’d think a “winner” like Anita would be wise to give Bernie voters their time. But, Anita wanted to damage Bernie Sanders. She was absolutely despicable—and Thom eventually caught on and got rid of her.

Good catch on getting the details of her call!

(1,779 posts)to John Kassich by a tiny amount and he criticized Obama for not forcefully pointing out the differences between the Democrats and the Republicans.
He was a major speaker at the Obama re-election campaign in 2012.
I don't know what his stance on guns is, but I vastly prefer him to Kassich.
Go Bernie!
