Supporters Aggravated Bernie Sanders Didn’t Use DNC Speech To Get Voters To Act Against Their Own Self-Interest

July 25, 2016

Vol 52 Issue 29

PHILADELPHIA—In response to the Vermont senator calling upon all Democrats to come together to assure the party’s victory in the presidential election this November, thousands of Bernie Sanders supporters were reportedly left deeply aggravated Monday after he didn’t use his Democratic National Convention speech to encourage voters to act against their own self-interest....................................................................................................................................

“He really should have taken a stand and declared that if the Democrats aren’t willing to nominate a true progressive, then we should all engage in behavior that ultimately serves to benefit a candidate diametrically opposed to those ideals. I can’t believe he would drop the ball on encouraging us to completely disregard the kind of world we’ll be forced to live in for the next four to eight years and instead act out in shortsighted petulance.” Irritated supporters then called upon those who still believed in progressivism to take the necessary measures to set back society for decades to come.

3. the most troubling in this, the fact that these people are clueless to what carnage

a trump administration would have...and there would be no chance for a "true progressive" to ever be elected in the future...america's trajectory would be forever altered....


when you put ego first, america will suffer and that means all of us...but these people are disruptors...and want to "teach america a lesson"....the "holier than thou" mentality is sickening....


we had a small taste of what this attitude can bring with nader supporters taking the same tact in 2000...we had a small taste of carnage that bush-cheney adim caused....and trump would do 100x worse for america......

4. Politically inmature......

guarantee they will be running around saying Bernie is a sell out, etc. They have a small myopic picture of the world. Bernie didn't talk much about world events or relationships among nations.

6. I do believe you are right. One of the main reasons is Hate radio. There are too little

Progressive news radio stations. Time after time I pass trucks-and a few cars with Hannity or Rush or another local Hate RW station blaring their hate. At this point, even if a neutral or progressive radio station was available--I am not sure the RW would tune in.

5. Always amazed at how the onion can nail the truth, usually focused on the hypocrisy of the GOP

Sad to see it being pointed at the Democratic side this time.
