1. Apparently, me too.

Fucking tired of the bullying.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

7. I'm with you!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[Hortensis]

21. Punish by voting for the other party.

I.e., to toss your own bums out. Or at minimum by staying home and not voting. Then, next time vote for better people from your own party and toss the others out. YOU ARE NEEDED! There is nothing more guaranteed to force change.

[Armstead]

29. Nothing will force change it seems

The repressive reaction to the Sanders challenge is looking like evidence of that.

[djean111]

2. I will proudly stand with you! n/t

[SamKnause]

3. Millions and millions are right there with you.

I include myself in the mix.

[forest444]

4. It's amazing how many Democrats have drunk the 'Hillary is more electable' Kool-Aid,

when in reality, polls have consistently shown the opposite: that Bernie's not only a far better Democrat than Shillary, he's also much more electable.

It's the media doing, no doubt about it.

[RufusTFirefly]

5. Glad you finally realize it. Some us didn't have the heart to tell you.

It's awkward. Kind of like halitosis.

Illegitimi non carborundum, FS!

[Happenstance24]

6. Glad you have the luxury to gamble with our future....some don't. -nt

[bahrbearian]

9. Future War's, Future Regime change's , Future Bank bail-outs, Future Trade deals.......

[Happenstance24]

13. Back alley abortions, end of the middle class, guns everywhere, corps having even more power...

The Supreme Court is the end game. Presidents come and go every 4-8 years. SC justices last 40 years +. This "revolution" should have turned toward the SC the second Scalia died.

[840high]

31. This won't work on me.

[dana_b]

33. yes, I can see Clinton doing all of that

especially the corporations EVERYWHERE

[Bluenorthwest]

43. Your candidate opposed my right to marry just 3 years ago and she's supposed to be my champion?

Bernie is my champion, not the woman who edits bits out of the Bible to attack me with when stroking the folks at Rick Warren's Megachurch.
If Hillary had planned on running as a civil rights champion, she ought not have been a civil rights opponents. Her supporters just seem bigoted and selfish and rich, half of them strut around here wearing the rhetorical version of top hat and monocle 'listen to me, my wife and I are wealthy'. So really, you are full of stink.

[Happenstance24]

51. I don't care if Bernie

is your champion. I'm not trying to stop you from voting Bernie. Go vote for him. I care about those who say they will sit out the general when he loses.

[Loudestlib]

52. Why would people sit out? You could just write him in if you want to.

[Autumn]

11. We've been gambling with it for a long time. Some of us have noticed the game is rigged.

[RufusTFirefly]

14. Translated: "My cynical, pessimistic view of humanity...

... makes me afraid to stick to my principles and vote according to my conscience instead of taking the easy way out and following the conventional wisdom."

And who, by the way, is defining that conventional wisdom?

Is it the will of the people? Or is it the dictate of Big Money and its bullhorn, Big Media?

[kath]

41. This. great post!

[Trajan]

17. There is very little in Hillary's stated proposals that improve the future lives of regular citizens

Nothing that wasn't already proposed by Bernie Sanders ...

The 'future', as defined by Bernie's proposed policies, is a FAR more optimistic place than Hillary's 'NO WE CAN'T' can ever offer ..

One might wonder why someone would even claim such a thing .. Hillary has a positive vision of the future state of the middle class? ... hardly ...

NO WE CAN'T? ... I don't think that's a positive, optimistic stance, and I'm sure most rational people would agree that Hillary's offers the LEAST positive policies for regular citizens ...

[dchill]

19. Is there a mirror nearby?

[Loudestlib]

34. If your candidate fails to get elected, that's the fault of your candidate. n/t

[Happenstance24]

37. True. Now tell Berniestans that. -nt

[Bluenorthwest]

45. Primary is not over yet your vote suppressing bully tactics are reckless and smug.

nt

[Loudestlib]

50. I'll tell anyone that will listen.

I'll also tell them that if a candidate runs a dirty primary campaign, attacks her opponents supporters, and deflects questions, that candidate may win the primary but they'll lose a chunk of the base and the GE.

Pyrrhic victory.

[daleanime]

49. Yeahup, voting for more war....

a sure path to at least one 'future'.

[Dem2]

8. SSDE

Same Shite, Different Election.

[kath]

10. put me down too as "one of many people who has just fucking had enough (pardon my language) and

and reached his/her limit of bullshit".

Enough is enough is fucking ENOUGH.
And fuck all the DLC/ThirdWay/TrojanHorse assholes who infiltrated the party of FDR.

[840high]

32. Amen.

[Gregorian]

12. I've always been this way.

I'm going to hell.

[99th_Monkey]

15. How dare you!

Didn't your parents teach you that having high principles and humane values was
selfish in the extreme?

[Martin Eden]

16. This will be my 11th POTUS election as a voter

More often than not, I've cast my vote AGAINST the Republican rather than FOR a candidate I truly believed in -- and even then I was disappointed after my guy won.

I'm bloody sick of voting for the "lesser evil."

Nevertheless, if Hillary is the nominee and my home state of Illinois has even a remote chance of flipping to whomever emerges from the Rethug clown car, I'll hold my nose and vote for HRC because REAL PEOPLE will suffer far worse consequences with an R in the White House.

If I thought that disaster would somehow lead to the kind of political revolution that would make things better in the long run I would consider not lifting a finger to keep the likes of Trump from becoming president, but I have no confidence in that kind of positive backlash.

Hopefully, President sanders will be inaugurated next January and we won't have to endure another Rethug misleading our country.

[MisterP]

18. I'm an academic, so I'm resistant to academese

I think my brain popped somewhere between "situates Bernie's dominance in masculine subcultures and products" and Kenny G as unpacking cisheteronormativity

[panader0]

54. I'd vote for him over Hillary on that alone.

[Vinca]

20. And dreamers.

Our ideas have no chance of succeeding. Wonder how many people told JFK we couldn't get to the moon?

[cherokeeprogressive]

22. We must be related!

[Thespian2]

23. the corporate owned media

support Her Royal Highness because, if she is the Dem nominee, then it doesn't matter to the Greedy Bastards who wins the general election...I thought intelligent Dems had already figured that out...

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

24. It's highly amusing to find people who cry "purists" usually demand we be "pure" Democrats

and vote for anyone with a (D) label behind their name.

[dana_b]

36. except that MANY of us are not Dems

we're indys who have registered a Dems in order to vote for Bernie - that's it. So this "be a good Dem" stuff REALLY won't work on us.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

38. In my state we don't register by party. It's quite liberating.

[AlbertCat]

25. I'm going with the latter.

[warrprayer]

26. If Reagan democrats have taken over heaven

You won't find me there

[Jackilope]

27. Count me the same. We could have things so much better.

I feel beaten up for having the audacity to want a better Democratic candidate. (One that isn't sold out, a corporate and Wall St. shill, and a war hawk. Not too much to ask for as a Democratic candidate.)

So no, copying up with the tormentors isn't an effective tactic or motivating force for me.

I stand with you.

[Hoyt]

28. Sad that people give up so easily and are willing to turn the country over to Trump.

[kath]

47. "Give up so easily"?!? Hell, the DLC/ThirdWay assholes have been serving us shit for DECADES and we

have had enough. We put up with it for a long time, but we aren't going to do it any more.
Fuck the corporate wing of our once-great Party.

[Hoyt]

48. Life is tough, it'll be tougher under Trump. Just give up and see how you feel in 10 years.

[EndElectoral]

30. Shame on you. You need to be brought to heel.

Meant in the spirit of good natured ribbing.

[Samantha]

40. Take a break and do something you love -- at least for a couple of days

Hopefully it will be something that will incorporate physical exertion. Listen to music you love. Watch a movie you have really been wanting to see but missed because you were posting here. Take long walks. Call an old friend you really care about but have neglected. Eat good food and catch up on your rest. Read that great book you have had on your nightstand for forever.

Do not visit DU no matter how much you are tempted. Turn it off and let your brain and your blood pressure rest. When you have reached the point you feel you are your normal self again (whatever that is Flying Squirrel!!!!) come back and once again start raising holy hell!!! We will miss you but we know you will return as a new and improved version, and we will start calling you "Rocky."

Take care.

Sam

[salinsky]

42. This place is starting to reek of desperation ...

[Jack Rabbit]

44. How long have you been a racist?

I've been a racist since I opposed Obama's continuing NSA spaying.

Before that, when Bush the Frat Boy did it, it was OK to oppose NSA spying and even regard it as grounds for impeachment.

[Enthusiast]

46. Kicked and recommended to the Max! The bullshit limit has been exceeded!

[mountain grammy]

53. In our caucus, a woman speaking for Hillary said

She has so much foreign policy experience, and, with Bill, it's like getting 2 for 1...

I said it's precisely America's failed foreign policy that has me supporting Bernie Sanders. More of the same intervention and aggression from Hillary, protecting the interests of corporations. Let's give peace a chance. As a Sec of State, I think Kerry has been far more effective.
