2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNo, Bernie isn't and hasn't dropped out.
If you thought that was some good spin to keep people from voting for Sanders instead of Clinton, the term "loose screw" comes to mind. She and her surrogates need to cut it out.
Ardent Hillary supporters are trying to pretend that she has already won, and personally, I'll have to see it to believe it.
Don't give in to shitty tactics.

Horrible policies, awful record as SoS, and ISIS is on her plate, too. Don't get me started on the shit stirring in Honduras.

(10,336 posts)Strategy in spite of the DNC's fondest wishes, for several reasons, not the least of which is he believes voters in all 50 states deserve to have their choice on the ballot in an election actually matter. And possibly, much,much more. It's not over until convention.

(39,961 posts)trying to play like she is a populist. You can see it in her body language.
Bernie is not out, and those that want him to give up can go fly a kite. If Hillary is the best we can put forth as a Democratic leader, we are so lost in the weeds.

They should be.

(424 posts)Apparently many people are afraid of Bernie. He draws large crowds and inspires people. Hillary draws small crowds of the 1% and doesn't seem to inspire independents and the youth vote. There has been a national scandal of voter suppression that has resulted in law suits, investigations and even firings in many states now. It's because the DNC wants to keep the status quo and so Democrats like Bernie Sanders scare them.

(424 posts)Welcome back.
I fled the Huffington Post two days ago because it's over run with pro-Hillary articles and Hillary supporters.
If you get tired of the Bernie supporters here and do want a break - I recommend that site for a Hillary person.
I however won't go back. This lovely site is fun to post on. You guys still have balance.

(5,811 posts)peeps at his NY rallies were from out of state. In other words, the huge crowd meme intended to evoke Obama level star power didn't translate into actual votes.
I don't think anyone is afraid of Bernie. Social media suggest it's something else but it's definitely not fear.

(17,656 posts)I don't know which is funnier -- your advice:
Don't give in to shitty tactics.
Or the Bernie bird in your signature.
That's the funniest signature I've seen in years here.

Nothing wrong with excessive smiling!
"spin" isn't necessary to keep people from voting for Sanders. The vast majority of voters are already not voting for him.
