Did Jeff Weaver Hint at a Possible 3rd Party Run by Sanders?


There are many other core platform ideals as well that helped bring in millions of people across the country and powered the Sanders campaign in historic fashion. It’s no secret that Bernie is anti-war and very much anti-fracking, two other major differences between the two nominees. But what if she doesn’t move on these issues either?

Tulsi Gabbard said recently that she’s “not prepared” to back Clinton and said there are a lot of areas that Clinton has hardly budged on throughout the length of this campaign. One in particular, is the failed regime change strategy that Clinton and her cronies are so in love with.

But back to a nagging question that I have had for a while now. “What if Clinton doesn’t do the things Bernie wants her to do?” If I could ask Bernie one question right now, that would be it.

Let’s throw out the fact that it would be hard to believe her even if she did say she would fight for these things but for the sake of argument, let’s pretend that her word is golden. Is Sanders prepared to play hardball with her and her campaign? Is he prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure a future we can all believe in?

The only thing that he could go is be part of the green ticket. Not even sure he'd do that. It would be a four party race. First time in a long time.

She panders. I have been told that it is a-okay to lie during a campaign, if that is what it takes to win, and then I am told to STFU if I don't like what actually happens, because hey! I voted for the politician, didn't I?

IMO Hillary has her little Third Way, neocon, neolibera,l New Democrat, PNAC to-do list, and that's that.

And I think Bernie communicated quite clearly his intent to work within the party Thursday night.

In that last speech he made to his fans, he said that he, personally, had a "role" to defeat Trump, but he never included Hillary beyond a vague reference to "discussions" to transform the Democratic Party. He never raised the issue of conceding, let alone endorsing her. At this point, there is only one explanation for him not suspending his campaign; he is going to make a third party run.

Bernie said he was working with Hillary and would be helping to make sure Trump does not win. He is NOT going to run third party no mater what some idiot on the internet writes. All this shit is just flame bait posting trying to cause fights between the two camps here.

I guess the trolls on both sides have to get in all the can before they get kicked out.
