(40,416 posts)His exit was perfect, as many of us Bernie supporters knew it would be.
The man calls himself an independent -- that's Vermont, people -- but has never caucused with any other party but the Democratic Party throughout his decades in service.
Some people miss the big picture and focus on silly minutia.
I invite everybody to click through to both Bernie's and Hillary's speech today. I dare you to say they are not united.
Nobody under the bus, my friends. We stand together. The alternative is too horrible to consider.
And fuck that other site.

(40,416 posts)The primary season has been over here on DU for a few days now. But today, let nobody here say that we did not have two absolutely awesome candidates.
And one of them won. I would have been happy with either. Apparently, today, Bernie and Hillary are both happy, too.
Let that lead us the way to victory in November.

(30,481 posts)My man did well for himself and progressives. That was an excellent party debate and I don't see how he could have squeezed one more drop out. Additionally, this was set up pretty soon after the FBI report. While I have always and continue to think it was all bullshit, you never know what is going to happen when politically driven people are involved. Sanders has done well by us.
