OK fellow Bernie supporters calm down. Relax.

You don't want to give the white house to the GOP do you. I'm not feeling Hillary either, but Gawd Damn she's a thousand times better than any of the Republicans. Remember the movement does not end with Bernie, it's bigger than him. Power doesn't yield easily.

Be excited, not apathetic because we have to continue to fight for real change. It may not be this year or in 8 yeats but the revolution is coming because we cannot continue down this path.

DON'T GIVE UP!

I haven't felt warm and fuzzy towards her during the campaign--in fact my opinion of her has gone down quite a bit in this process, and a lot of that is probably due to the people around her and the advice she's taking--but I think she will be a good president if she ends up being the nominee.

I don't think she's a natural campaigner, and when she is campaigning against one's chosen candidate, it becomes easy to judge her negatively, since she just does not have that natural campaigner's charm about her. I know: I quite disliked her back in 2008, when I was an Obama supporter. This time I support Hillary, though. I have come to see that she is actually a very decent person. Flawed, as we all are, to be sure. But smart, dedicated, and with the intention of doing her best. I tend to see her as the grown up version of the earnest, nerdy school girl who is not part of the popular crowd, but who is smart and can get things done. She lacks her husband's easygoing manner, but I think she also lacks his weaknesses. All in all, I think she will make a very good president.

on DU, it's a bit different. I think we tend to lean more left here, plus, you have to take into account the grudges here between long-time members. There's quite a bit gets posted just to poke each other. One of the first things I do when I come to GD: P is go through the 1st page and trash all the obvious meta, flame or disingenuous bullcrap. Then I come back and read through posts that seem genuine, and maybe comment and rec.

When it comes down to it, we're all in the same boat, and that boat is in pretty crappy shape. We all want it repaired... it's the method and captain where we differ.

Although I know that he's a long shot, Bernie's election in 2016 really is kind of a last chance to turn it around before sinking into a real neoliberal dystopia.

Secy. Clinton is not an honest person, as far as I can tell, and with the media behind her now should have no problem preventing the change we so desperately need.

It may not be this year or in 8 yeats but the revolution is coming because we cannot continue down this path.


If we don't get some changes in the next couple years, I believe it will not happen.

I am 62 and can't keep waiting for the dawn to finally arrive.

Our climate can't wait, our economy can't wait, the 99% can't wait.

We lost our chance of fixing by incremental change about 10 years ago.

There is a reason Bernie Sanders is running at this late stage in his career.
He knows it's now or never.

I will support Bernie until he suspends his campaign.

I agree, "Don't Give Up"!!

defeat by bernie means corportism has won.democratic party is now a corporist neocon party.any who claim to be progressive are
lying since they endorsed the corporate anti-union pro-war clinton.

get used to permeant republican control over government.clinton will lose in november.and then with gerrymandering and citizen united they will control government for decades to come.

He made up tremendous ground in Nevada, despite Hillary having been there for six months. So he didn't quit finish closing the gap in time. This is the THIRD state, not the 50th. His national polling numbers continue to climb, while hers continue to limp downwards.

35. No, she's identical to a Republican.

She was born one, and still supports the bulk of their policies. There is NO 'real change' (at least...no good one) with her. She'll steal more from me, do less for me, and tell me I am a bad woman for not supporting her while doing it. Not doing it again.

For me, and tens of thousands like me, there is only one option. Sanders or no one. Of course, my state isn't up for grabs anyway (it's as safely red as red can be so long as one is following the Establishment red-blue dichotomy that, oddly enough, just seems to be everywhere for some completely unknowable, indeterminate reason. I'm sure it's because primary colors or something), but it would have been nice to see it so.

I haven't given up, because I believe the...'other alternative' can be defeated soundly even with the...'unusual circumstances and unpredictable vagaries of problems that just seem to arise'...whenever she's present.

36. I'm mostly feeling ill because I don't think she can win the general.

And I'm not just saying that because I support Bernie. I agree with you she's better than any Republican, but the attack ads are writing themselves. The right will have the majority of the country believing she belongs in jail, not the White House.

She is a corporatist war hawk who supports fracking, the 1%, monsanto, and loves her Goldman Handcuffs.

I will never vote for her.

If being called a Teabagger isn't bad enough, I don't what is. And they cheat and lie and we have e-mails to go through. I hope those e-mails do her in once and for ALL! And SOON!!!!!!

It's not that I am anti-Clinton, I see the writing on the wall. The GOP will eat her alive come November. And if those e-mails will sink her, rather now than in October.

I am too much of a wus to deal with politics, but yet I persevere.

Have wiped away my tears, and am ready for the next fight.

I feel SC is probably not within our reach so I will just keep working hard and fighting for Bernie, the people's president.

On we go.

Because as sure as rain in the springtime, she will lose in the fall. She is not likable enough. Trump will be president (that is so very weird & horrible to say, but its true.) and in 4 years the country will want to kick his incompetent a** out.
