Bernie just proved

[TMontoya]

You have to be more than a candidate of Reddit. He attempted to appeal to anyone beyond the reddit OWS and Iphone crowd. Hopefully after this he will stand with our nominee Hillary Clinton and work together to win in November.

[flor-de-jasmim]

1. Whatever else, his campaign has also proven

that extreme lengths the powers that be will go to. There has been massive attempts this cycle to limit the vote, game the system, misuse technology, not count or miscount the vote, alter voter machine behavior, etc. I am not blaming anyone's supporters, and the results may well have come out similarly, but this election should be a wake up call to ALL who cherish open and free elections. Drastic action needs to be taken.

[TMontoya]

2. No there hasn't

There is no grand conspiracy against Bernie. His ideas simply do not resonate with Democrats. Nothing more.

[Logical]

3. Hillary is a right leaning dem. Nt

[CajunBlazer]

10. BS

If you stand on the extreme left, everyone to your right is a conservative.

[pinebox]

62. Tell us what's the extreme left?

We'll wait while you define it.

[CajunBlazer]

72. People of the extreme left are easy to spot

1) They are for every socialist proposal ever made without reservations

2) They believe that they are ideologically pure.

3) They believe that only they understand the right path, and everyone else is ignorant, misguided or most likely a conservative.

4) They refuse to compromise even when it is their best interest

I could go on, but they are easy to spot when you understand their profile

[pinebox]

86. Ok a question

Wouldn't everyone technically be a conservative compared to the extreme left? See what I did there?

FYI Bernie supporters aren't the extreme left either, that would be Moa, Gurrera, and entities like FARC.
If you're thinking that then the entire world is the extreme left as social democracies rule the roost in first world countries. Last I heard, Sweden & Canada were not North Korea.

[CajunBlazer]

98. I didn't say all of Sanders' supporters are on the far left - most are not

I said that many of Bernie's most zealous supporters are of the far left, and I have seen absolutely nothing to dispute that statement. I think that you have correctly categorized entities like FARC as extreme left; they are Marxist–Leninists engaging in a civil war.

"Far left" is a relative term depending on which country is referenced. In this country some of Sanders supporters are as far left as people get in this country without being all out communist.

These are the people who have made it very clear from the start that they would not vote for the Democratic nominee unless that nominee is Bernie Sanders. They consider themselves "too liberal" to be Democrats and normally vote for the Green Party candidate who is generally someone who is not equipped in any way to be President. They would rather engage in useless protests instead of insuring that the unfortunate in this country are properly cared for, thus violating the most important progressive principle. In my book they are useless human beings.

[Dragonfli]

132. Meanings of words and ideologies are defined and are not relative, else no dictionary would exist.

[KittyWampus]

138. Here's the word Cajunblazer was looking for- Ideologue. Sanders and many of his supporters

especially on DU are Ideologues.


i·de·o·logue/ˈīdēəˌlôɡ,ˈidēəˌlôɡ/
noun

1: an impractical idealist : theorist
2: an often blindly partisan advocate or adherent of a particular ideology

[Goblinmonger]

87. "They are for every socialist proposal ever made without reservations"

So there is no extreme left, because that seems like a straw man that reflects no actual person ever.

[TMontoya]

89. Yes there is

OWS for example.

[Goblinmonger]

90. OWS is for EVERY socialist thing EVER.

Try again.

And if you stopped the red baiting, that would be great, too (which was my point in case you missed it).

[TMontoya]

95. Actually they are

I've heard interviews with some of those who were at the park at the time. Some believing we should just do away with "money" entirely. I'm sorry but that is nonsense thinking. They all rail against evil corporations while texting away on their Apple products (which btw Apple is one of most greedy corporations out there). OWS has done nothing but be a stain on the Democratic party.

[CajunBlazer]

100. I never called anyone a communist, because I don't know that would be true...

Your projecting your assumption on my written words.

[fun n serious]

141. Also.. everything is corrupt, bought,

So much corruption conspiracies! To a paranoia extent.

[LondonReign2]

70. And when you stand on the right, you think everything is the extreme left

[CajunBlazer]

73. I am moderate progressive

Last edited Wed Apr 27, 2016, 03:59 PM - Edit history (1)

And I think the far right and the far left are more alike than they will ever admit and are both great dangers to this country.

They are both the reasons why our government doesn't work because they both try to elect candidates so far to the left or right that gridlock is the natural result. Not even the most fundamental things required of government don't get done.

I put the zealots on both the far left and the far right in the same category - worse than useless.

[notadmblnd]

77. Our government doesn't work because it has been co-opted

by multi national corporations. Hard for a government to work for the people when most elected official are bought and paid for by corporations, including your gal Hillary.

[CajunBlazer]

111. Wrong - if corporations "owned" the government it would work fine...

,,, not the way I would want it to work, but it would work seamlessly. The President, the Senate and the House would all be on the same page. Every bill would be proposed, written, passed and signed without any problems. Again, the results would not be what I would

Instead what we have is gridlock. So I call BS on your statement.

[notadmblnd]

112. Yeah, corporations would be making loans against perfectly financially sound government agencies

pocketing the money, filing bankruptcy and walking away leaving me and you to foot the bill.

[Phlem]

135. "Wrong - if corporations "owned" the government it would work fine..."

OMFG are you lost.

[LondonReign2]

143. And yet the dude thinks he is a progressive

I guess it is the Rovian rebranding of the word "progressive" to mean right-of-center pro-corporate foreign policy hawks.

[LondonReign2]

107. You can call yourself the Queen of England, doesn't make it true

Pretending to be progressive and being copacetic with Robert Kagen, Henry Kissinger, Lloyd Blankfein, and the Koch Brothers...utterly Rovian.

[CajunBlazer]

121. You're insulting! You obviously have no clue what my political views are

Obviously in your book "progressive"= "left wing zealot". It is also apparent that you don't realize that progressives who aren't as liberal as you are, and even moderates who are left of center, should be viewed as your potential allies instead of your enemies. There are far fewer of you than there are of us, and you kind are not going to ever win a natural election on your own.

You view the political world through a distorted prism of your own making. You should distrust anything you perceive until you break out of your ideologically pure shell and join the real world.

[jack_krass]

123. How about: Progressive means you don't take $150,000,000 in "speaking fees" from

the people you'll be making laws to regulate.

Hillary Clinton is *not* a progressive, though she does play one on TV ("you can fool some of the people all the time&quot

[CajunBlazer]

127. Hell, for $150,000 I'll give a speech to either the KKK or Socialist USA convention

They may not like the speech, but if they want to pay me, I'll take their money so they can't spend on something more dangerous. And it wouldn't affect the way I vote one iota. I suspect you would too.

When Sanders was asked in a debate to provide one example where accepting payment for speeches adversely affected the actions Hillary made or the decision she made and he was speechless. That's because she has been more active than Sanders in reigning the abuse of major corporations.

If accepting money for campaigns from corporations and special interest groups is a sin, then everyone from Obama down is guilty. Sanders is guilty because he accepted money from the NRA during his first congressional campaign.

Sanders also fully supported John Kerry's run for the Presidency and Kerry took corporate money for his campaign. It certainly didn't bother St. Bernie then, but now its a big deal when his opponent does the same thing. Doesn't that make your candidate a hypocrite?

[jack_krass]

130. If you were to then attemp to obtain a position of power over the KKK

Then people would be 100% within their rights to question your motives, and whether that 150,000 was pre payment for future services.

[jack_krass]

124. How about: Progressive means you don't cackle "we came, we say, he died"

[CajunBlazer]

129. ....

color me clueless

[MyNameGoesHere]

136. What does "cackle" mean?

I hope you can be honest.

[LondonReign2]

140. You poor darling. I must apologize.

I didn't know it was so easy to hurt you feelings.

Nonetheless, you support a candidate backed by Robert Kagen, Henry Kissinger, Lloyd Blankfein, and the Koch Brothers. Yet you think you are a progressive. Yet you pretend that = progressive. As I said, claim you are the Queen of England all you want, doesn't make it true.

[runaway hero]

115. So you support the Third Way then

Say so.

[CajunBlazer]

122. While I certainly don't ascribe to "third way" politics in particular...

... any path but the two proposed by the tea partiers on the right and their mirror image clones on the left has to be better for the country. The paths of both extremes lead to disaster.

Throughout its history this country has rode a political pendulum which very slowly swings from right to left and then back again. Every time it swings too far to the left or to the right, the voters wisely sense the dangers of the extremes and the pendulum slows and and then starts back in the other direction. The state desired by the far left and the far right are never achieved and one side or the other is always ticked off that the other side is temporary winning.

My observations indicate that the pendulum has been swinging to the left for sometime now, but beware, those like me in the center will never let it too far left or too far right and we have far superior numbers.

[runaway hero]

125. Personally...

I believe progressivism is something that is needed to move forward. I know why Bernie's fans are mad. They tried this last time, and OWS ended up being a bust, because haf the party was not behind them. I think people are, in a way, sick of the middle, sick of the stauts quo.

[CajunBlazer]

128. That's too bad....

While the country shifts to left and then to the right and back again over extended lengths of time, it never strays too far from the middle where most of its citizens have resided since the founding of this republic. Those on the far left and far right will thus never be satisfied.

[runaway hero]

131. Right but

This is why nothing ever changes unless the situation becomes dire.

[fun n serious]

145. I agree with you 100%

Some here on DU have been rallying against Obama and calling an end to the status quo. IMO this is the best we have had it in decades so give me more status quo.

[fun n serious]

142. Yes. I just heard Republicans on TV...

talking about how they have not seen a conservative republican since the 80's.

[Logical]

74. Lol,extreme left! You sound like a hill fan. Nt

[Yurovsky]

81. Then she's the only war-mongering corporate Leftist I know...

I think you're confused on just where the center is... Try moving WAAAAAAY left...

[snooper2]

88. Yeah we don't need some loser like Maduro running this country into the ground thankyou

[frylock]

91. Everything looks extreme left when you live on the right side of the political spectrum.

[LondonReign2]

69. No, she is a left leaning Republican

[redstateblues]

76. Bullshit- She was one of the most liberal Senators in Congress

ask any Republican if she is one of them. Foolishness

[frylock]

94. POP QUIZ: Who is THE most liberal Senator in Congress?

[LondonReign2]

108. We should ask Robert Kagen, Henry Kissinger, Lloyd Blankfein, and the Koch brothers

if she is one of them.

[Svafa]

83. Yes, she is a socially liberal republican.

[LondonReign2]

109. And some of her socially liberal positions are of political convenience, i.e.,

only coming around on gay marriage when is was politically advantageous.

[Beowulf]

36. You clearly have not been paying attention.

[thebeautifulstruggle]

103. his message doesn't ressonate with those who aren't yet awake

to who the 2 main parties serve together

and wth is Clinton's message? seriously...all i've heard is her trying to piggyback her husband, Obama, and tell us everything else is too hard to even try

[Ron Green]

4. Not to mention the seven-month media blackout

and pundit memes that became political reality.

[NurseJackie]

6. If he can't handle this little primary, he'd never survive the GOP. You think THIS was bad?

Bernie would be eaten alive. A well-funded GOP vs a candidate who'd willingly run a pauper's campaign? He'd be a bug on the windshield of the GOP's Mack-Truck. He'd be a sparrow getting sucked into a 747's engine. No contest. Game over, man, game over!

[auntpurl]

11. Hey! Lay off the bird!

It means a lot to them.

[NurseJackie]

25. Glad you saw that ...

... it was kinda hidden in there.

[auntpurl]

26. lol

[randome]

67. It was a FINCH! Not a sparrow! Oh, no wonder this country is doomed. DOOMED!!!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]"If you're bored then you're boring." -Harvey Danger[/center][/font][hr]

[Iliyah]

56. The corporate media treated BS with kit gloves

They remind me of that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark in the cave when finally they opened up the ark and lord behold a beautiful angelic women came forth and then seconds later turned into a hideous evil monster.

[NurseJackie]

57. Good analogy ... I remember that!

[uponit7771]

42. Making crap up never helps the healing process

[Katashi_itto]

52. Agree

[LisaM]

101. You don't think caucuses limit the vote?

Many of the Hillary supporters I know in Washington did their best to avoid the caucus because we didn't want to be bullied the way we were in 2008. This year I sent in an affidavit because they held it on Easter weekend, which was also ridiculous.

If I didn't live in a caucus state, I might have a little more sympathy with your position, but I simply do not hear the Sanders' people getting up in arms about the caucuses. Ours had four excuses: work, disability, military, and religion. No mention of, say, transportation, family issues (such as being a caregiver), or anything else. Some states with caucuses don't even allow any excuses for not attending. And, if the voting for delegates went to a second round here, the affidavits were tossed.

Compare this to not being able to vote in a primary for a party you're not even a member of? NOT EVEN CLOSE.

[mmonk]

5. He proved the people can fund a candidate.

That's valuable to know.

[firebrand80]

7. A losing candidate nt

[Orsino]

24. A relative unknown, versus a rock-star Democrat.

Sanders is the proof of concept we never knew we were waiting for. He saw the hunger for change, and is successfully crowd-sourcing...even if we could never quite catch up with the Establishment juggernaut. This time.

The need for change only grows when we fail to implement it. Sanders dared to be the first, and he won't be the last.

[JCanete]

63. "That's why I'm backing who the corporations are backing!" n/t

[auntpurl]

13. Can fund a candidate to RUN, not a candidate to WIN.

[Gman]

18. And that is important

But until CU is overturned, it's not enough to compete.

That's one of many reasons why the next prez must be a Dem to appointment Scalia's replacement.

[CajunBlazer]

22. Wrong!!!

He proved that he could get through a primary, that's all.

The money he raised is but a fraction of what the Koch brothers and their friends are willing to fund their PAC's in the general election. GE's now cost north of $1 Billion dollars. Until we get the big money out of Presidential elections, small private donations amounting to a individual maximum of $2,500 per election is not going to cut it.

[auntpurl]

27. Well, "get through a primary"

depends on your definition. He proved you can LOSE a primary.

But your larger point is exactly right.

[uponit7771]

43. He proved the Roberts court correct, he outspent Hillary and still lost... that's a shame

[frylock]

96. Yay Roberts' court!

[Amimnoch]

44. Very disheartening how some of my fellows respond to this.

I for one find it extremely admirable that Bernie funded the way he did. It's worthy of nothing short of respect. It was one of the main things about him that really had me leaning towards switching support during this primary season several times.

[auntpurl]

55. IN THEORY, I agree.

But until the laws change, no one has proven that you can WIN without some big money channels. Once the laws change and NO ONE is allowed them, then we will see what we will see.

I for one am not prepared to get our asses kicked in the GE by the fucking Koch brothers out of ideological purity.

[brush]

82. The Obama campaign perfected Howard Dean's online fundraising. The Sanders . . .

campaign followed up on those two earlier online methods.

[reformist2]

8. This is absurd. He's within a few percentage points of beating the most anointed front-runner ever.

To crap all over what he's managed to do shows a weird need to dismiss what all these voters are saying - that they reject what the party what serving up.

[Live and Learn]

12. + a gazillion. nt

[PowerToThePeople]

16. DUrec

She has been soundly rejected.

[auntpurl]

28. By 3 million more voters than voted for Bernie.

Sorry, that makes no sense whatsoever.

[PowerToThePeople]

34. She has only been running for 20 years

How much longer does she need?

An upstart grass roots candidate should never have made it this far, if she was a good candidate.

[auntpurl]

35. She doesn't need any longer at all. She's won it.

[PowerToThePeople]

38. Your point is?

Obvious is obvious.

Good luck against the Republicans.

[auntpurl]

39. Thanks, you too.

I assume you are also in favour of beating the Republicans?

[PowerToThePeople]

40. I am in favour of beating all conservatives all the time

Sadly, it does not ever happen. This year was the best hope I have had in my life though.

[auntpurl]

41. We've just had 8 years of a Democratic presidency

So what do you mean, it never happens?

[uponit7771]

46. This is false on its face

[vintx]

80. As arrogant, dismissive, and shamelessly mendacious as their candidate. nt

[zigby]

93. +10000

I'll be throwing my support behind Hillary, but it has been truly inspiring to watch an absolutely unknown senator peddling democratic socialism go up against the most powerful political brand since Kennedy.

[Warren DeMontague]

117. No shit. She was supposed to be inevitable and he was a kooky unknown.

"Weird need", indeed.

[Broward]

9. Wall Stree thanks you for your support. Couldn't of done it without you.

[seabeyond]

15. Repugs thank you for the smears.

[Broward]

68. Why would you even care when in many areas your ideology aligns.

[seabeyond]

75. Again smears. No factuality, just a petulant insult.

[Gman]

23. Wall Street provides the financing for jobs for hundreds of millions of people

Why is that lost on so many?

[Ed Suspicious]

30. Gag.

[JCanete]

65. Why not say, "this plantation provides housing and meals for 100 percent of the slaves on it?"

It's not like Wall Street does this because the people who operate within it are philanthropists. When communities are being bled dry and corporations are getting richer, its real rich that you would make such a transparent comment about the good work our financial institutions do.

[Gman]

92. Do you have a better way

For folks to put a roof over their family's heads or food on the table?

[JCanete]

99. for starters, don't give credit where its not due,

wall street needs workers to make those profits. Don't frame the argument that wall street is giving people jobs.

[Gman]

126. Cash is the lifeblood of a business.

You can't change that. Wall Street provides most if the cash necessary to run a business and create jobs. Without Wall Street we are a very poor country without basic necessities.

[beaglelover]

97. It's only lost on the losers of society.

[choie]

133. Oh yeah, that's right - they're the job creators!!!

[uponit7771]

47. Most Americans want Wall Street regulated, Sanders can't be trusted to do this after his CFMA vote

[Broward]

64. Keep doing their bidding.

[seabeyond]

14. He didn't do the homework to be taken seriously as a candidate that thought not with frontal lobe of

brain. He had a shot, but he did it the lazy way. Stay on point of what he has discussed for five decades. Do not become more knowledge, stepping into a position one has to be well rounded. Listen to no one.

He didn't do the work needed. Simply stood in front of people and talked. That is his passion a lifetime. I can see a lot of worth in that, but not as president.

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Never logged into reddit... never owned an iPhone. However, my privileged friends who die over

their iPhones think Hillary is the bomb. It has become an issue of class, and I can't afford your candidate. I hope he is the nominee. And that's all I will say about that.

[mcar]

19. K&R

[MoonRiver]

20. I doubt he's going to be a gracious loser, and that's kind of sad.

It is frankly becoming demeaning and humiliating for him to keep attacking the Democratic presumptive nominee and giving talking points to the presumptive Republican nominee. This bodes very poorly for Sanders' legacy.

[JTFrog]

54. Agree. n/t

[peggysue2]

59. Yet to be seen

I've said this from the start that Sanders had a very hard example to follow in how to concede graciously. I'm still amazed at how Hillary Clinton shifted gears and then campaigned her heart out for Barack Obama and down ticket Democrats.

We will soon see Bernie Sanders--the man--and what sort of mettle he's genuinely made of because losing is hard, heart-breaking. It takes a lot of grit to shake yourself off and do what's right. I'm hoping Sanders rises to the occasion, We need every voice, every hand on deck for a November win.

The alternative is absolutely unthinkable.

[MoonRiver]

71. Well said, peggysue!

I'm with you 100%.

[hrmjustin]

21. I don't think he expected to do this well.

If he did his campaign would have been run differently.

[MadBadger]

31. He absolutely did not. He wanted to run on economic justice and campaign finance reform

He was probably hoping to advance those issues, and then nobody actually ran against Hillary.

The way he frames his speeches and openings of debates definitely lead me to believe this.

[MadBadger]

29. not helpful

[CrowCityDem]

32. Bernie proved that there is no "new politics".

The most important way to win support and win elections is to go state to state, town to town, and talk to the voters about the issues they care about. You have to tailor your message to fit the people you're talking to. You can't give the same speech to rural Nebraska and urban Baltimore, and expect to get the same results. They say all politics is local, and Bernie's inability to hone his pitch to the audience has proven that.

[auntpurl]

37. Good post.

I'm always surprised to see Bernie supporters touting those pics of huge rallies with Bernie giving his same old stump speech, and then making fun of Hillary's smaller crowds at her events, where she is actually TALKING to people. You know, what people used to call CAMPAIGNING.

[uponit7771]

[bkkyosemite]

33. Put him down then say he should work with Hillary. You just proved how utterly disrespectful you

are to the only honest candidate running for President.Yes he is still running in the primary. I donated and will continue to donate all the way to CA.

[aikoaiko]

45. Really, you think he was only a candidate of Reddit?

I can see why your political analysis skills led you to support HRC.

[Jester Messiah]

49. You sling stereotypes in a unity post?

Gods, what are they teaching you people at orientation? You either bait, or you appeal for unity, but not in the same post.

[ecstatic]

50. His right-wing fans did a lot of damage, IMHO

I'm not referring to all his supporters, I'm talking about the ones who were never democrats or even liberal, but liked Bernie's message. I won't pretend like I've ever been a big fan of Bernie's, but there were moments early on where I felt myself softening up and being more receptive to him (based on him expanding his platform, etc).

But suddenly the BernieBros were completely out of control! Then Bernie started showing a rude and arrogant side as well. That's not going to attract new support from democrats--maybe republicans, but definitely not democrats. Had he stayed positive and reeled in his trolls, we might be having a different discussion right now.

110. He is anti trump so will support Hillary. but in the general. the independents

which make up 1/3rd of the electorate by the way, will be forced to choose.They cannot vote in closed primaries, so do not be saying Hillary has more votes-she does not. Indies are folks who are not reactionary, rather they do their homework, are thinkers and are neither blue nor red so are our revolution voters, the future. The "Partys" are just the corrupt teams filled with dominant liars, users and takers(Congress) and the Indies have only two reps in the senate.Both are really well liked as humans.

The DNC will be stupid and will let Hillary take the nom, But she is handicapped.

Hillary does not inspire enthusiasm, in fact she inspires nausea,because;

She did nothing in the senate but name a post office, a street and a school. She is only known for corruption and corporate loyalties, a bad marriage and a shady Foundation. No one has faith in her decision making or leadership abilities.Congress will not support her ideas or legislation any more than Obama's, in fact, most of the Dems wont support her.World leaders consider her a non-entity.

She cannot defend herself against Trumps exaggerations. He is a master at creating doubt. She is a master of only revenge.Her lies are sooooo obvious, Trump lies plant seeds of doubt.

Trump has a record of successes when Hillary has known so many defeats.

No, I do not admire Trump- hes a sick man who hates women, minorities and equality. Yet the hard fact is he inspires voters to show up- Hillary doesn't.

Bernie is a good man, has no criminal past, inspires men, women, minorities, reasonable repubs, dems and most of the Independents. He can defend against anything Trump throws at him, cant be baited, and isnt unknown. Congress will listen because he knows their skeletons. Even if he just gets the ball rolling on his issues, its better than Hillary's corporate loyalties, and general ignorance of reality.

I have lived all over the world. With either Hill or Trump, I see the US becoming even more of a tar pit, dragging everyone down, infrastructure and environment wont be addressed, it will bring the extinction of mankind over the edge
