Bernie Sanders just sent me an important email...

[brooklynite]

Send Money!

The struggle continues. We are going to fight for every vote in Tuesday's Primary in Washington, DC, and then we will bring our political revolution to the Democratic convention in Philadelphia.

...snip...

I am pretty good at arithmetic, and I know that the fight in front of us is a very, very steep fight, but we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate we can get

[laserhaas]

1. And we are

Coach seats cost money....too

[Gomez163]

5. Luggage

[asuhornets]

64. LOL...nt

[merrily]

2. .

The desperation to make negative posts about Sanders, no matter how inane and played out, is beyond palpable.

[brooklynite]

7. All he had to do was not keep insisting that his campaign is continuing...

[eastwestdem]

24. Doesn't seem too hard, does it? nt

[larkrake]

26. why? what do you fear?

[laserhaas]

47. Good question

[Duval]

9. Reaching for the tums right now! nt

[MoonRiver]

3. He's going to squeeze every last cent he can get out of whomever.

I'll stop right there.

[JudyM]

11. Oh yeah, *he's* the one who has a history of voting and taking executive actions around donations.

[MyNameGoesHere]

12. Soon that disgusting sig photo will be gone

you're a real winner aren't you?

[JudyM]

14. To quote "Hillbots" here: aw, you got a sad?

And your personal attack against DU policy says something about you.

As for my sig line, apparently many feel that way, take a look at this corporate leader's opinion:

[MyNameGoesHere]

22. Use hillbot all you want for the next few days

You may check my post is has always been Sanders supporters or Clinton supporters. I do not need to go the 3 year old route should you?

[JudyM]

23. Another personal attack. You are quite skillful at that, you think?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

15. So you're offended at a sig photo described by you as "disgusting" after having posted...

...your disgusting comment above? You're a real winner aren't you?

Disgusting!

[larkrake]

27. I love that sig, dont you dare remove it

[JudyM]

53. It's yours to borrow if you'd like...

[Native]

54. the 16th can't come soon enough!

[laserhaas]

49. Oh yeah? ..The rule changes mean emoji ban too?

Wow

[Armstead]

18. Comparatively, that's not a complaint I'd make...

People can decide for themselves whether they want to fund another stage of his campaign and send him another few bucks.

That's a whole difference scale than a future candidate getting exhorbitant speaking fees and dark money from from Wall St banksters and corporations, and with your spouse making almost $2oo million after a career of holding public office.

[NurseJackie]

4. Don't leave us hanging! Are you going to?

[Duval]

6. And we sure will!!

We need to keep the "revolution" (FDR) going to make sure it is included in the Democratic platform in July.

[oasis]

8. "No superpacs" = no more money. eom

[brooklynite]

10. You DO realize that if you eliminate SuperPACS, you still need campaign cash?

[oasis]

19. I think it was dumb of Bernie to not accept superpac assistance.

He was doomed to failure before his campaign began.

[rhett o rick]

34. Ahh the rationalization for why to accept graft. Sanders didn't fail because he

didn't sell his soul to the Big Donors, he lost because the election system is rigged in favor of the Rich and Powerful. Funny how some choose to side with the Rich and Powerful and then boast and gloat as if they were one.

By the way, his campaign was a tremendous success. The non-progressives never in their wildest dreams thought he would get this far. But here we are. And we ain't going away until we kick the Big Money corruption out of our government.

[oasis]

46. If you're "in it to win it" you do what it takes to win.

Period.

[rhett o rick]

51. Yep, like selling your soul for $150,000,000.

[oasis]

55. Keeping 3-4 ultra right wing judges from reaching the Supreme Court

is more than worth it. Who the hell wants to live through the next 3 decades under the rulings of rabid lunatics?

[rhett o rick]

57. If we don't turn around this ever growing Wealthy Gap we will end up like Haiti and it won't matter.

And we can have more progressive nominees if a real progressive were to get elected.

[larkrake]

62. he wasnt in it to win it, dont be so shortsighted. His goal was to ignite a movement- period

[oasis]

66. Okay. His point was made, well done. Time to step aside. nt

[larkrake]

68. step aside for what. and why? Time is not the issue, with both bashing Trump

[oasis]

70. He can bash Trump as a HRC ally and surrogate. nt

[larkrake]

73. he does more bashing him as Bernie Sanders

[oasis]

74. Coordinated attacks have more impact. If he joins the

Clinton team they will use him in a more effective way. Bernie will be able to stay on message with the resources made available to him by the Clinton Machine.

[larkrake]

75. not in this case, her unfavorables are just too high.

he cant lead a movement and join a team that is against the movement. He will assist, he wont join.

[oasis]

76. If he chooses to go his own way, that's on him.

They really don't need him anyway.

[laserhaas]

50. Yup...The API making news, instead of reporting it

Was the ultimate Coup d'etat...OP

the landslide when defies common sense

[larkrake]

36. but he got more than he expected- his movement. That is not failure it is resounding victory

[oasis]

45. If Hillary would have gone that route, she'd be broke. She's now

in great shape to take on whatever the GOP has to throw at her.

[larkrake]

59. absolutely

[larkrake]

29. equal public funding

sounds nice. Everyone can campaign via internet- we are halfway there now

[larkrake]

71. Bernie disproved super-pacs are needed. they have become slush funds

[DCBob]

13. That kind of stinks.

Squeezing more money out his donors for what??

[Armstead]

20. Almost $200 in joint personal wealth from a career in political office and charity is...

not exactly what a rosebush smells like.

[larkrake]

31. downticket

[rhett o rick]

38. I guess some just don't pay attention. We have a movement to run. To the Corporatists

that run our government and their minions, we ain't going nowhere. We are fighting for the 4.8 million homeless incl 2 million children, 50 million people living in poverty incl 16 million children and the worst infant mortality rate in the modern world. We are fighting against those that put corporate profits ahead of helping those struggling.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

16. I don't see anything there about sending money. nt

[brooklynite]

35. I left those sections out...I figured you probably got your own copy...

[azurnoir]

41. Oddly I didn't get that one but I did get one from the Clinton campaign over the weekend

about surprises - I'd post it but sadly I deleted it

[davidn3600]

17. And we will!!!

Our voices will not be silenced by a rich, elitist, centrist party or a Republican-lite candidate!

The DNC will have to include our issues in the platform or they can say hello to President Trump. It's that simple.

We will not go gently into that good night!

[missingthebigdog]

21. Interesting use of the word "they."

"The DNC will have to include our issues in the platform or they can say hello to President Trump."

Will you not also be saying hello to President Trump? Or will that just not have any impact on you?

[davidn3600]

25. If he wins we will all be saying hello to him

And since you can't seem to figure it out... "THEY" is the Democratic party establishment. THEY are someone whose side I am not on. THEY are someone every Bernie voter is against. THEY rigged the system. THEY hate the working class. THEY are part of the 1% who are the problem in this country.

Clear enough?

[missingthebigdog]

43. Whatever.

"The DNC will have to include our issues in the platform or they can say hello to President Trump. It's that simple.

We will not go gently into that good night!"

I am mystified that you believe you still have all of this leverage. Your post boils down to: Build it the way we want or we will burn it down.

Your candidate lost California by a twelve point margin. He lost the delegate vote and the popular vote. No amount of insulting Hillary supporters or repeating right wing talking points changes that.

Bernie will come around and do the right thing, which is endorse the so-called "Republican-lite" candidate. Hopefully, you will eventually see the wisdom in that as well.

[GulfCoast66]

52. What is it with you guys and all caps?

They really add nothing to the post.

And what will you do if Bernie next week appears with Clinton and heartily endorsers her then goes on the campaign trail for her?

Who will lead your revolution?

I have no animus toward you regardless.

Have a nice day.

[larkrake]

60. he will not campaign for her. He will campaign to defeat Trump

[GulfCoast66]

63. That

Would be helpful.

[larkrake]

33. turn about is fair play, we can use blackmail too

[MariaThinks]

42. there was no fair play. Bernie wants to make up his own rules. Now that he has officially lost,

we'll see more allegations and desperate behavior.

If he wanted to improve the country, the best way would be to work out a direct deal, even in public, to work together and defeat the imbecile trump.

[larkrake]

44. Listen to yourself, then get a life

[seabeyond]

28. The fight is very very steep. What? For money or nomination? Surely he is not suggesting nomination?

I just got out of a satire thread then read this. Nuh uh, he really didn't say that.

[tonyt53]

30. Hillary gets DC by at least 65%. Minorities are the majority in DC.

[stevenleser]

48. I'm thinking Hillary gets DC by 80-90%.

[larkrake]

61. easily, it is the population center for lobbyists

[stevenleser]

65. Nope, they work there, they dont live there. Almost a nice try, but not. nt

[larkrake]

67. I lived there, I know who live there

[stevenleser]

69. So have I. nt

[larkrake]

72. it is heavily black, yes, but the whites are prevalent lobbyists

[democrattotheend]

58. I'm still glad to see Bernie trying there

Frankly, I wish she would stump for votes there too. They are the most reliable Democratic voters in the country but never get any love from national politicians even though they are right there.

I think it would be a nice gesture if Hillary would do at least one event in DC this week just to show that she still cares about their votes.

[Logical]

32. Wow, more shit stirring. What was the point of this post?

[MariaThinks]

37. Good idea. We should send him more money.

[JimDandy]

39. Good for Bernie. He received the 3rd highest total votes in Democratic Primary History.

Only behind Obama and Clinton.

This is how you DO it. Work to connect with every possible voter to get their vote. And contact info is valuable to maintain avenues of communication for long term progressive goals.

[nadinbrzezinski]

40. For such a big insider

who knows all, I am shocked I tell you that you have no idea what that is about. Let me help you, HRC did not retire her full campaign debt until 2012, and you know this.

By the way, why do you have a need to do this shit?

[livetohike]

56. LOL at "pretty good at math" . No he isn't. n/t
