(423 posts)What all of us immediately thought when Bernie said this was:
- Bernie was given a LOT of control over creation of the party platform at the Convention.
- Bernie was given a LOT of control over rules changes at the national party level.
- Then after that was done, HE QUIT THE GODDAMN PARTY.
So I have this to ask Bernie - you got the changes in the party you wanted, you got the policy points you favored most into the party platform. Why then would you choose to quit the party and not see these changes through as one of the party's new leadership, and instead decide it's a better use of your time to criticize the changes you just made? That's one HELL OF A FUCKED UP HYPOCRITICAL WAY to show you want unity.
And people wonder why I chose not to support him during the primary (I was with O'Malley and stayed neutral after he dropped out).
