In reply to the discussion: Does Sanders realize that if he does not endorse Hillary and does not "release" [View all]baldguy
(36,649 posts)47. And now you're deflecting. Also proving my point, incidentally.
Congress won't pass even $12/hr, but Sanders insists that only, only, only a $15/hr should be promoted, and criticizes Clinton when she points to the progressive successes in CA and NY in raising the minimum wage.

I disagree. Sanders's actions no longer matter. Hillary will beat Trump with or without him.

"release"? We're not shackled to him and are capable of making our own decisions.

Funny how he and his fans don't think "everything" includes an endorsement. They let Bernie lie.

What does "release" his supporters mean? How does he release us? I honestly have no clue
