[Megathread] Bernie Sanders 2016

[Matchles]

Are you running for leadership positions over me and do you regularly get advice from your felon of a friend?

What your hiding all transcripts of what you said to that friend? That friend regularly gives you money? What for? Why? What do you two talk about? What are his ideas and how much do they influence your own?

It would be like if I became the uncontested Queen of America, but I regularly spent time with Priestesses who advocate Burning people alive in wicker suites. And I regularly gave speeches at meetings of this WAY TOO COOL WITH HUMAN SACRIFICE church, but I won't tell you what those speeches are about. Oh, and those Priestesses give me lots of goodies.

How do you know who she gets advice from? And why should I give you a transcript that you can pour through just to take the one statement or quote out of context. No one here is stupid enough to actually believe you, Sanders or anyone else cares what is in those transcripts. They figured it was an easy target. Did she say something nice about Goldman Sachs? I'm sure she did, just like she probably said nice things to the dozens of other groups she spoke to. I don't see you asking her for her transcripts from the speeches she gave to the Green Energy Council. Though I'm sure they'd be much more interesting with regard to policy.

Sanders is done. He may not formally concede during this speech. But by his tone it is over.

How do I not? She is less than transparent.

I mean you don't know that my secret cult isn't telling me Skroe's family and himself would make a fitting offering to our Fiery lord, and they do say sacrifice is needed for good rain seasons and harvests, and I do spend a lot of time talking about the Harvests, I mean now I don't because there is this pesky old dude running on an anti-cult influence platform and he keeps saying I am for Human Sacrifice JUST BECAUSE I gave a lot of secret speeches at a Human Sacrifice Church, AND they give me and my foundation lots of money, AND they are friends of mine...... Also I said I would name this Priest as an adviser who is down with Holy War against the unbelievers in the Fire Lord but whatev's I am totally not influenced.

I am glad you are so trusting. Tis' a rare thing to see someone so trust these days.

THAT is what you got from the article? No one cares that he hasn't dropped out yet. The call by the Clinton campaign for Sanders to quit is some bizarre fiction you've created in your head.

The MSM which is largely controlled by the clinton camp has pushed that narrative for a while and still does. A lot of her supporters also very vocally support him dropping out and see his staying in the race as "hurting party unity".

The article says that it was Sanders that decided to go personal. It was Sanders that shifted away from the issues.

He did in response to a clinton attack.

It was Sanders behind this conspiratorial belief that everyone was out to get him.

...they were. She started the race with all of the super delegates and the entire mainstream media supporting her and ignoring him.

It was Sanders getting his panties in a knot every time Clinton said he wouldn't be her VP (despite the fact he frequently stated in a more forceful tone that Hillary wouldn't ever be his VP choice).

You think she wasn't acting the same way? Based on past sources of those close to her (just as reliable as this article) she was probably cussing out her support staff and throwing shit at them.

If this story is true the guy is a fucking baby who takes offense and holds grudges at a level only seen in Trump.

You haven't looked into the Clinton's history much have you?

This man is awful and I sincerely hope he does not win. He like many other candidates are going against what this country stands for.

1. Religion
Yes, not all of our founding fathers were Christian, but they still followed the teachings of Jesus. Bernie Sanders is a socialist "jew" or at least that is what he is going by. I personally think he is really an atheist. He has never referenced GOD in any of his speeches. He must know that admitting being an atheist is political suicide in this blessed country.

2. Socialism
Bernie Sanders is a socialist. This doesn't bode well with me. Considering our country is a REPUBLIC Democracy, a socialist does NOT fit here.

3. Unrealistic Plans
There is no way to pay for all of the things he is promising. The free college garbage is just so kids no longer have to work to try to have a good life. He is basically encouraging people with welfare to continue being leeches with our tax dollars.

This complaint right here just strikes me as.....bullshit.

Clinton came into this race with literally decades of work for the DNC. Sanders wasn't even a democrat until he needed a wagon to hitch to. So yeah, the DNC supported the candidate that supported them. Shocker.

Thus far, doesn't seem like Bernie's giving any sort of a concession speech.

This needs to be restated. Hillary has been a Democrat since the 1960s. Since before Man landed on the Moon.

Sanders has been a democrat since.... oh about 12 months ago.

Big surprise Democratic Superdelegates went with the actual Democrat.

He won't give one. He is firing half is staff in about 8 hours. That's all you need to know.

And if a relative outsider comes in and gets more support they'll respect that. Obama got the nomination more or less out of nowhere when he had a better campaign and when he did the DNC backed him as strongly as anyone could want.

But its not particularly surprising that the bernieorbust crowd places so little value in party unity.

"Next Tuesday we continue the fight in the last primary in Washington D.C."

"...and then we take our fight to Philadelphia!"

Bernie ain't going nowhere.

[Wells]

At this point Sanders is probably hurting his ability to get a serious role in the platform honestly.

In the 60s what that before or after Hillary was a Goldwater girl? and when Sanders was busy fighting for Civil right? Hillary might be the democrat, but Bernie is the true progressive.

The point was that the DNC is supporting the person who's supported the DNC, and that shouldn't shock anyone. Clinton was one of the most liberal senators in the institution when she was in office as well.

I can't get over how real Sanders is when giving a speech, as a contrast to how goddamn fake Hillary is.

So why didn't they support O'malley or Lessig? How about Jim Webb? Sorry but your argument would only work if they were the only two in the race. O'malley was doing well in debates, but was still largely being ignored by the media and being pushed away in debates in favor of hillary (and even bernie). Shouldn't some super delegates have supported him since he's been a democrat for years? I won't lie, if I didn't already know your posting history I'd be more interested in your response.

*mimes jerk-off motion*

It's funny because there's nothing that turns me off more sexually than someone faking it, which is almost always completely obvious to see, so yeah, you're right there Wells, I'd always jerk off to the real deal.

"Next Tuesday we continue the fight in the last primary in Washington D.C."

"...and then we take our fight to Philadelphia!"

Bernie ain't going nowhere.

Whatever he is smoking must be good. Holy shit.

[Wells]

So why didn't they support O'malley or Lessig? How about Jim Webb? S

Because they were never viable candidates and haven't played the role in the DNC that Clinton has.

I mean seriously, you people are ridiculous. Parties exist to propagate themselves in order to push long term policy change. That requires unity and loyalty. Sanders wasn't even a democrat and Clinton has put in incredible amounts of work.

So yeah, if Sanders could get the voters to go for him great, the DNC would probably back him just fine, like they did with Obama. But he couldn't.

He, its okay wells, don't worry you will get your TPP and American casualties in Syria soon enough. Just breathe man.

[Saiona]

Yes bernie take this as long as you can so we can hurt Hill - dogs chances at winning. Then after July Bernie can wither away back in Vermont until he is long forgotten. Or just dies

[Wells]

He, its okay wells, don't worry you will get your TPP and American casualties in Syria soon enough. Just breathe man.

Never let it be said that you've ever let an ignorance of someone's political beliefs get in the way of your shitposting.

[Theodarzna]

You mean the person who went around and got all the super delegates before the campaign season even started. If Bernie hadn't ran, her opponents would have been Chafe, Weaver, and her biggest opponent would have been O'Malley. Say what you want, But I believe he drove Hillary to the left, which I believe will help her.

He drove her to the left for about 5 minutes. She will be preaching the Bush Doctrine tomorrow.

He has fought for the poor, gay rights, and civil rights well before anyone paid any attention. Of course he will continue to fight.

Back when Hillary was Goldwater girl.
