Keep fighting

This movement to regain control of our country isn't over. This fight is going to take years. It's a war for our future and our children's future. We can't let one contest get us down. This is when we get back up and fight harder. That round is done. This round is about to get tougher and if we really are serious about taking our country back from corporate controlled political machines, then fight back.

We can't quit now. We have come too far to get dejected over one state result. The establishment has shown itself as the scum they are. They are desperate to squash this movement. I will never stop and I challenge everyone that believes we deserve better and future generations deserve better, then don't hang your heads and fight on.

Show others why this movement is needed. Educate others about how society can prosper under a leader that works for us. People need to be shown how they have been lied to for decades. Guide them through the journey of discovery,because it can be painful to realize our political leaders have used them, us, and everyone just to get elected. Show people the cost of continuing this path of the establishment. Shine a light on these corporate cockroaches.

Fight on! GO BERNIE!!!

Has the democratic party left us?

The transition to a party of war, fracking, job destroying free trade, and corporate lobbying seems to be complete. I look at our party and see only a shell of would it should be. It's sad that so many get so angry when you state that Hillary stands for and supports the worst in politics.

She embraces these characteristics and yet so many think she represents us. Maybe Robert Reich was right. A Peoples Party is needed. Just a thought, but corporate democrats have destroyed our Party.

YES!!! TPP, Fracking, War...

It's amazing that things Democrats use to stand up against are now accepted by voters.

Hillary group shocked by Bernie supporters on FB

Some have said they will be writing in Bernie's name if he is not the nominee. I am not sure how that is surprising at all. They think that people should blindly follow a person who does not represent a majority of Americans let alone the Democratic Party.

I have been a loyal DEMOCRAT for all of my life and it has become apparent, my party is not the party I believed it was. It is a corporate lobbying firm and that is all.

I am one of those who is tired of the bullshit we are suppose to believe b/c someone with a D next to their name says so. No more DINOs. Sorry Hillary, that means you too.

Calm down Hillary fans, jealousy is not a good look

The absolute childish smear campaign going on immediately after it was announced that Bernie was invited to speak at a conference at the Vatican is so transparent. What should be an occasion to be celebrated by ALL in the Democratic Party has become downright sad. Instead of hearing how important it is to have a democratic candidate discussion morality in economics and policy (a major Democratic value) we are hearing lies and misinformation coming from Camp Weathervane and the Clinton Machine minions.

Who cares if someone asked about attending due to an interest in this topic. If the officials running the conference did not want Bernie to attend, they would not have entertained the idea. Of course it is a political move. Bernie reaching out to a wider audience with other world leaders and scholars is a great move. The officials running the event know there is a political move, they are not ignorant. More than a few Vatican officials are interested in what Bernie has to say and that is a positive.

Also, who cares if the Pope will not be there at the same time Bernie is there, b/c being a guest at the Vatican is endorsement enough that what Bernie is saying about a moral economy is more than a political issue.

People see through the Hill-bots attempts to downplay this and honestly, it is tragic that they feel it necessary to spew such vile and knowingly false claims about the invite. I would say they should be ashamed of themselves, but I don't think the ones taking part in this have any shame.

I hope any Hillary supporters that read to this point understand that I know a vast majority of her supporters are not like the people I am discussing. I know that most of you are good people and believe in your candidate. For those of you not taking part in this smear, I thank you and will always respect your decision. Honestly, I know a few Hillary supporters and they are great and they are tired of this crap.

Looks like the Hillary Camp is in full freak out mode

The number of posts by Camp Weathervane has been impressive. Have you noticed the volume? They are spitting out garbage and lies like their jobs depended on it.

This has been kinda fun watching the desperation. Good luck with the whole scorched earth thing.

GO BERNIE!!!

Hillary Group working overtime

Has anyone else noticed that the Hillary group seems to be working hard to post as many smears as possible lately? I have noticed the two big ones they are promoting are the foreign donors, which happen to have had the money returned, and the fossil fuel lobby donations.

Also, the nasty way they respond to anyone that disagrees with them or points out facts is why I am glad to be blocked from their group. It is like walking into a Bill O'Reilly segment.

Seems like the Hillary group must be getting nervous. Just saying.

Party Loyalty?

I have always been loyal to any democrat running, but something has changed. I feel like this primary cycle has opened my eyes to where the party is today. For years I have been in denial about my party becoming more aligned with the right and just assumed our party leaders were just too nice or soft.

When this guy from Vermont announced he was running, I was happy to learn about him. I educated myself on his career and beliefs. I was excited to find this person represented the Democratic Party to its core. I thought surely, the Democratic Party would rally around his message.

Instead, the party leadership has tried everything they could to stop this man. They have been attempting to squash his message. A message that stands for everything we thought represented democrats. My worst fears have been confirmed. My party is just a lobbying firm for corporations. Republicans have owned that badge for decades. My party has pretended to care about us, the people. My party leadership have been revealed to be nothing more than wolves in sheep clothing.

I have made up my mind. I will no longer reward candidates solely because they have a D by there name. No more. This has to stop. Now is the time for the country to wake up and take back our future. Stop voting for people that do not represent our best interest. Stop voting for candidates who owe their millions to large corporations. Vote for the only candidate that represents us. That's BERNIE SANDERS. I will never vote for scum DINOs again. Down with the establishment!

Isn't time Super Delegates get put on hot seat

In states where Bernie is crushing the competition and the people are voicing their support for his campaign, are these Super Delegates understanding that if they continue supporting the other candidate, they run the risk of being voted out? I think it is passed time to remind these people who votes them into office. The pressure needs to be put on now! Calling and writing these officials is just as important as voting. They need to be shown that the people decide and not a select few.
