Berniecrats: It is a day to rejoice and look forward to making history

[FlatBaroque]

I listened to Bernie spell out the road to victory in his press conference. I have assessed all the pros and cons of each candidate. And today I have witnessed a veritable tsunami of nonsense of such preposterous proportions, that I sense victory is at hand. There are indeed corporate lobbyists who are superdelegates. Of course, their support for their candidate will not waver. But the career politicians who have a future to think about, well of course they will do the right thing.

This is why at DU today it is raining poop.

Take heart in that fact, the fact that a desperate establishment is gripping onto the levers of power as tightly as it can, and let us get prepared to contest this convention on the power of ideas, and fueled by the passion of a political revolution.


They are not going to be able to hold on for much longer.

1. K&R

[Gman]

2. Ok so like

Go badger and harass the hell out of SDs. That is the sure way to make them flip to Bernie. I mean what makes somebody change their mind quicker than harassment and belittlement?

[SaschaHM]

4. "The career politicians are going to do the right thing"

I don't think that means what they think it means....

[72DejaVu]

7. It's probably more fun than phone banking, I suppose

[Gman]

47. Beating my head with a hammer

Is more fun than phone banking. But not as much as block walking.

[hack89]

3. So the SDs will overturn the will of the voters to back Bernie?

really? So why do we even bother having elections when the person with the fewer votes can be declared the winner?

[tonyt53]

8. They use Cruz math

[bkkyosemite]

21. You need to be real here. You know that most of them endorsed Hillary before Bernie entered the

race. That is what is crazy.

[hack89]

29. Shouldn't the pledged delegates decided by the voters determine who the nominee is?

the SDs should go to the candidate with the most pledged delegates. Right?

[yourpaljoey]

5. The Third Way cannot hold....

[wysi]

6. You guys crack me up

[libdem4life]

10. The only post with an insipid phrase...followed by an smilie thus far.

Awaiting the rest of the crew with no substance and similar one-liners and smilies.

[pdsimdars]

28. It's all they've got . . .a big fat dose of smug.

[libdem4life]

30. I know. Starting to get almost funny. I do comment on them occasionally.

But make sure I use a whole TWO sentences...with a subject and a verb at the very least.

[Renew Deal]

43. That's about as valuable as Bernies remaining nomination strategy.

[Lizzie Poppet]

44. The Brockians are slipping.

I guess a million bucks just can';t buy good help these days.

[pdsimdars]

20. Back at ya!

[senz]

52. The graphic applies to so many of them - thanks!

[Ino]

27. Brock wants his money back for that post

[randome]

57. Here you go. Have some.

9. They wouldn't be here, working so hard, if the nomination was "all wrapped up and in the bag"...

[FlatBaroque]

13. That's right. It is becoming pretty east to figure out

by their clumsy tactics

[pdsimdars]

22. clumsy and empty tactics. . . they are totally fact free and can't even explain why they are for her

[NastyRiffraff]

11. Well this is a cute bit of comedy

Thanks!

[Snotcicles]

12. Full ignore is getting a full fucking workout, today. nt

[FlatBaroque]

16. I do not see even one unwanted post here.

We cannot waver. We have the high road and will remain there.

EDIT scratch that, looks like there is more trash to take out.

[jmowreader]

14. Whatever you're smoking, I want some of it

On DU yesterday was an article explaining 25 percent of Republicans will vote for Hillary in November if Trump is their candidate. So why should we disregard the clear will of the voters to put the guy who's three million votes down on the ballot in November?

[pdsimdars]

23. And Bernie REGULARLY gets 20-30% of Republican in Vermont

not to mention 70% of the largest voting group, Independents.

[GulfCoast66]

48. Too bad

He is losing with Democratic Party voters. The ones that choose our nominee.

[timmymoff]

54. I'm sorry you can't have any

your candidate believes it needs more study and more legislation for mass incarceration. Besides, who wants to smoke with conservatives?

[NurseJackie]

15. Oh, lordy! I'm feeling light-headed! Someone grab my smelling salts!

That's it, we've lost!

[libdem4life]

33. I'm sure there was something intelligent intended here. Hard to tell.

[IamMab]

17. I seem to have been diverted from GDP into Comedy. Are a lot of the links at DU broken this way? nt

[Waiting For Everyman]

18. Yep, supers may have to actually do their job

and nominate a candidate who isn't under FBI investigation, and can win.

It might be at the last minute, but I think self-interest stands a good chance of clearing their vision enough to see the handwriting on the wall.

We'll get to see how well "the system" of superdelegates works this time. If it works at all, the time for it to demonstrate its usefulness would be in this situation.

[FlatBaroque]

19. If Bernie thinks it can be done, then it can be done

one thing I have learned about Bernie is that he does not tend to over-promise.

[YouDig]

24. Like when he promised he was going to win New York?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. ...

[SaschaHM]

37. or South Carolina, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, etc the list goes on.

He got Michigan though so congrats for that.

[jwirr]

45. K&R

[stopbush]

25. Why do OPs like this remind me of

[frazzled]

26. Speaking of career politicians

What else would Bernie Sanders be called, having had no career besides politician since 1981 (and none besides failed part-time carpenter before that)? Thirty-five continuous years in office makes him one of the most careerist of career politicians.

Be careful of labeling people.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. I dare the Democratic party to steal the election from women and people of color.

I dare the Democratic party to steal the election from women and people of color. Those are the people that have given Hillary Clinton her 3,000,000 vote margin of victory.

Shame on anybody who even suggests trying it.

[SaschaHM]

38. Ssh someone is going to tell you to stop it with the identity politics and that minorities are ...

not voting whats best for them.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. "Facts are stubborn things..."

[mcar]

41. Stop playing the whatever card

Whatever "card" it may be.

[onenote]

34. No snark from me. Just numbers.

[Stuckinthebush]

51. How many votes from birds?

You missed that one.

[lunamagica]

35. Sure, the SDs will slap millions of PoC voters, esp AA voters, on the face

basically telling them their votes don't count.

Do you really think this could happen? Do you want this to happen?

[brooklynite]

36. How is what Sanders said yesterday different than the day before? Or the week before?

He claims he can still win. He couldn't last week; he can't this week.

[mcar]

40. ...

[NuclearDem]

42. ...

[Bleacher Creature]

46. Two questions about that "road to victory"?

Is it made of yellow bricks? And do munchkins live at the beginning of it?

[senz]

53. K&R -- Thanks, FlatBaroque

One of you makes up for a dozen of them. I appreciate everything you do.

[FlatBaroque]
