"A Vainglory And Cult Of Personality": Bernie Sanders' Campaign Isn't About Ideas Anymore. It's About Him
“A Vainglory And Cult Of Personality”: Bernie Sanders’ Campaign Isn’t About Ideas Anymore. It’s About Him
Bernie Sanders made a huge mistake this week. It’s one that, if not soon corrected, could squander the sizeable influence he has over his party’s platform, and, more indelibly, create for the eventual Democratic nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a schism in the party that she does not have the means to reconcile.
The error: Bernie’s campaign became a vehicle to advance Bernie…

"Making The Case For Clinton": Sanders Increasingly Appears Petulant And Shortsighted
“Making The Case For Clinton”: Sanders Increasingly Appears Petulant And Shortsighted
Bernie Sanders is facing a critical test of his leadership, and so far he’s failing. When some of his supporters threw chairs at a mid-May convention of the Nevada State Democratic Party and threatened the life of Roberta Lange, the state party chairwoman, Sanders’ response was to paint the Democratic establishment — the leaders of the party with which he has had a marriage of convenience for…

Please investigate the following acts of misconduct by Roberta Lange, chair of the Nevada Democratic Convention. 1) The initial vote was taken 30 minutes prior to schedule and while delegates were still entering the building.
2) Requests for a re-vote were ignored.
3) Requests to review and acknowledge petitions were ignored.
4) Rule changes were passed without a majority.
5) 64 Sanders delegates were disqualified with very few given the chance to prove eligibility.
6) The convention was closed with a motion for a re-vote still on the table.
Let’s Place This Bitch Under A Microscope and Listen To Her Whine And Try To Blame Other People!
This is what Barbara Boxer really did at the Nevada convention. The DNC and the news media are lying. She was worshipping Hillary Clinton and harassing and gaslighting the Sanders delegates by saying that they were booing America by booing the corruption and suppression taking place at the convention. Watch for yourself.
CNN and the DNC are saying people were throwing chairs and poor Barbara Boxer “feared for her life.” Really? Because all I see is her laughing at Sanders supporters. Fucking liars!

If you really want to do Bernie Sanders a favor, don’t...
Call Roberta Lange horrible names in voicemails
Post her address on the internetÂ
Threaten her on behalf of Bernie SandersÂ
You shouldn’t be doing any of these things anyway because we call that harassment. These things don’t make Bernie Sanders look good. They make him look like Trump. Do you want Bernie Sanders to look like Trump? No? Then don’t do these things.Â
Just listen to the voicemails Roberta Lange has received.
Oh lord.
“I’ve been in politics for 50 years now,” said [Tom] Gallagher, who ran for Congress in 2004. “And I think Bernie is losing control of his people …”
I would say so.
This is also a fair point:
“These are folks out there who have no concept about rational political discourse. Now a lot of Bernie’s folks are really good friends of mine and they’re embarrassed by this. But there are crazies out there that are truly a little scary.”
It’s not Sanders or most of his supporters, as I’ve been saying, but there’s no excuse for shit like this. You’re claiming to do all these things for Bernie Sanders, a man who is strongly anti-war and deplores the death penalty, yet you threaten someone’s life and say you want to see them hang? Like the article says, there are legitimate cases against the Democrat’s democratic process, but even so, making death threats is terribly out of line with Bernie’s views.
For the people doing this, I worry, because when Bernie tells them to vote for Hillary, I don’t know if they’ll listen; in the end, I don’t think they ever cared about Bernie or his values. Maybe they did at some point, but they certainly don’t anymore. Oh well. I think the outcome will be the same, no matter what happens, and all I can do is show my support and cast my vote in November.
Add: Which is not to say Hillary will be the nominee or that Sanders will endorse her; however, that’s what I’d like to see happen and expect to see happen… If that’s not how it goes, then I’ll deal with that, accordingly, and in the fall, I will vote for the democrat. That’s the only thing I know for sure, but we can all speculate, right?
