(5,737 posts)HRC has been doing fundraisers for quite some time, like the Clooney fundraiser. Most of the money goes to the DNC to dole out to the candidates. Bernie finally gave in to the pressure and is backing one person running for the Senate - one. He has also said he is backing three people running for the House. So no. Bernie hasn't done jack shit for down ticket Democrats running for office except bad mouth the Party. I find it incredulous that such an assertion could be made about HRC.

(5,737 posts)Surely you know about that Clooney fundraiser anyway. Bernie finally decided to help ONE Democrat running for the US Senate last week. ONE. Evidently he or his followers have no idea that it will take at least a Democrat majority in the Senate to get anything moving. Oh, and by the vote totals going back to the WI primary, Bernie's followers did not vote for downticket Democrats. again, this is all of public record.

(2,052 posts)You think we should all just rally around DWS because she is an incumbent? Sounds like that.
She has hurt the Party and both candidates in this race. Primary the shit out of her
