Give It Up - I'm For Bernie

[lame54]

If Hillary is a lock?

Why all the effort to douse our enthusiasm

Bernie is not trashing Hillary - and if he loses the primary most of us will support Hillary

Spend your efforts supporting your candidate and we'll do the same

That's what the primaries are for

4. Our only shot at undoing what Now 2 presidents have done to us, No third Way, the Democratic way .

6. I mostly reply to the crap posted about Hillary

She is not the enemy nor is Bernie.
But if you want to make up shit about Hillary that isn't true expect it to be pointed out.
A couple of days ago Hillary was at 75% and Bernie was at 15%.
If pointing that out is dumping on your candidate that is your problem not mine.

[lame54]

8. that's not what's happening...

there is a push to stop us from supporting him

"Bernie can't win" is often repeated here

your suggestion that they are simply being news carriers is disingenuous

[upaloopa]

10. Nobody can stop you from supporting him

I don't think DU can run our lives.
To me a Bernie nomination will give us a repub President. That is a small part of why I support Hillary. I think if you ask the majority of voters will agree with me. DU does not reflect the world out there. True Bernie is more popular than Hillary in DU but again that is opposite the country as a whole.
Please support Bernie because it is only good for all of us that his views are becoming main stream. I have been listening to Bernie on radio and TV for years and I agree with him. But I do not think he could win the general and I think Hillary can. She has broader support.
I just get as pissed when people make shit up about her as you do concerning what is said about Bernie.

12. Who would you say Republicans are more likely to vote for ? Citizens United invented for who?

Not Bernie, and the average working Republican has been taught to hate Hillary for 20 yrs now, and they are single celled aomebas .

[upaloopa]

14. I try to deal with things as they are not as I would

want them to be.
If we could elect a left progressive government in 2016 I would be over joyed.
I don't think it can be done.

[Dustlawyer]

31. If we had people who would rather Bernie but will vote for Hillary in every subsequent election, we

will NEVER throw off the yoke of Wall Street! They will always control whoever is in the White House. At some point you have to take a chance. Sure Bernie will require supporters to work harder for him without the money behind him, but that will always be the case. You are, in effect, saying you are ok with corporate control.
With where things are now in our country and with Climate Change, we cannot afford to wait. Also, when is the next Bernie going to come along, one that has a proven track record of doing what he says and not being owned by corporate interests?
Bernie would have plenty of support if all of the Hillary supporters went with who they thought was best instead of who had the best chance.

[upaloopa]

33. I think we have to have campaign finance reform

if someone like Bernie has a chance. To do that we have to win in 2016. We have to take back the Senate. We have to appoint 4 progressive judges to the SCOTUS.
It takes a bunch things to happen to get where you want to be. You can't jump from today's politics to progressive government overnight. The right thinks long term that is how they build on little successes like how they took over states in 2010.
We have to think long term.

[Dustlawyer]

34. We had Obama and where was our campaign finance reform?

It will TAKE a Bernie before we can get CFR! It will also take the people, US, to fight for these things as well. Too many want to say their part is done by simply voting. If we have millions of people, directed by their President to apply the pressure needed, we can get what we want. We will, not in a long time, have the House, Senate, and the White House again. We have to make the change happen. Bernie has said that he will need millions of people to make it work, nothing's changed with that.

41. Our only shot at undoing what Now 2 presidents have done to us, No third Way, the Democratic way .

[orpupilofnature57]

42. + 1000 Well Put !!!!!!

[questionseverything]

15. i support bernie because of his ideas

i think if clinton gets the nomination the repubs will win

they hate her in an ungodly way,no one could energize the repub base like hc but even my repub friends want single payer healthcare especially those over 55 (we pay 3 times as much with the aca as a young person even tho our best earning years are behind us)

[upaloopa]

16. Well let's hope we still have democracy

and that it works. Let's support who we believe in.

[orpupilofnature57]

53. + 1000 !!!

[madokie]

17. To Me

I see Hillary doing exactly what you're saying about Bernie. See how that works...

[upaloopa]

19. Fine no problem with me

[madokie]

21. Cool

at this point its pretty much just opinions anyway

Hillary has been running since 1992 Bernie only for 6 weeks now. I know there are many here who were wanting to see Bernie run for a lot longer but the fact is he's only been in this race for a short time

[upaloopa]

22. What office was she running for in 1992.

I remember her running for the Senate and for President.

[madokie]

24. You're shitting me

She's been running for the presidency since bill walked into the oval office
if you're not aware of that nothing I can do will change that.
Have a good evening

[Beartracks]

26. I think upaloopa took you literally. n/t

[upaloopa]

30. Well thanks for making up more shit about

Hillary
It just doesn't stop

[madokie]

32. I stated fact

If you aren't aware of that then I can't help you.

Hillary's been on the campaign trail since bill won.

[lame54]

25. and this race is so ridiculously long - time is on Bernie's side

[orpupilofnature57]

54. After the TPP he's our only hope .

[passiveporcupine]

23. If this is true

True Bernie is more popular than Hillary in DU but again that is opposite the country as a whole.

Why is he so popular on facebook?

[NorthCarolina]

45. Because only DU'ers have

Facebook accounts?

[frylock]

46. I think a lot of the naysayers don't do social media

[Joe Turner]

40. You are kidding yourself with HRC

Actually if you want a republican president Hillary will deliver it. Bernie gives us a fighting chance because of his populist message which sells readily to most Americans tired of status quo politicians like Hillary. Then we have all reasons why Hillary is a bad candidate i.e. HRC does not connect well with people, does not interview well, does not debate well, has a long history of questionable behavior that can be exploited and comes off as too bland. She is toast in the general election unless the repugs select someone like Cruz. Stop deluding yourself with this one.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

43. Like I have said before.

It is time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win

[orpupilofnature57]

13. + 1000 Well Put !!!!!!

[NCTraveler]

48. Hillary can't win is often repeated here.

Often. Even right here in replies to your op.

[Omaha Steve]

7. Very well said

[Enthusiast]

9. Great point!

[madokie]

11. Ain't going to happen though

Hillary supporters really don't have much to support other than tearing down Bernie.

[upaloopa]

20. Please list the tear downs

I think the problem is what we see as real you see as a tear down. Is saying Hillary has broader support among women and minorities a tear down? Is saying Hillary has 60 point lead on Bernie a tear down?

[PatrynXX]

18. I won't support hillary though

unless she's vp and bernies president ... she's alot like Mitt Romney in a way. She keeps pretending. and so did he.

[MannyGoldstein]

27. Not like this, I hope

http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/mitt-romney-campaign-cold-open/n13459

(sorry about the commercial)

[hrmjustin]

28. Good luck with you candidate.

He is a good man and if he wins the nomination I will vote for him.

[WillyT]

35. Huge K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[Liberal_in_LA]

36. ok

[blackapron]

37. ?????????

Are you talking about Bernie "Ralph Nader" Sanders?

[frylock]

47. Beat it, n00b.

[Ed Suspicious]

49. Not a good try. Super weak effort. Come back when you're up to the task.

[tazkcmo]

50. lol

Please! I can't believe you went to the trouble of creating a profile on this site only to post the most easily debunked reason not to support Sanders. Hilarious.

[Jester Messiah]

51. Lol, meet the new shill.

You're not gonna last long on the job being that obvious.

[BeanMusical]

56. Meet the new shill. Same as the old shill.

[Rex]

57. Seriously, which long time poster are you!?

Fess up!

[BeanMusical]

58. ...

[L0oniX]

38. K & R

[JTFrog]

39. I'm for Sanders, Clinton or O'Malley.

I feel weird liking them all even though I don't agree completely with any of them.

[sellitman]

44. They are clearly nervous

She knows Bernie is gaining fast and it's early.

[DrBulldog]

52. Bernie had me at "Enough!!!".

[V0ltairesGh0st]

55. He can DO IT !

I'm voting Bernie for sure. I've not felt more sure before an election about a candidate than I am about Bernie. I ordered my yard signs and bumper stickers 2 weeks ago and i can't wait till they arrive I'm excited.

[Michigan-Arizona]

59. Hubby & I are voting for Bernie

Everyone I've talked to here in AZ & MI are also voting for Bernie..... Some of them are even republicans!
