The narrative from the corporate media and the Hillary campaign is that because Bernie lost Nevada by very little mind you and because South Carolina is next is that he has no possible path to the nomination.

Do *NOT* fall for it. They are only trying to discourage you.

I honestly think that Bernie will do better in South Carolina than they think. Do I think he will win South Carolina? No I don't but I think he will do better than the media or Hillary camp thinks he will.

They are using false math by stacking it with unpledged superdelegates to try to discourage support and thus try to stop Bernie here and now.

Let's not fall for that am I right?

As long as we can get out Bernie's base and convert more and more people he will win the nomination in one of the biggest political upsets in history.

Don't fall for their bullshit.

1. I'm not giving up on nothing.

I'm volunteering and waiting for my states polling day.

[ZM90]

3. Hey Retro! I got to see Bernie yesterday! It was awesome! :) n/t

[retrowire]

8. AHHH!!! that's awesome!

how close did you get? enjoy the energy?

[ZM90]

9. I got very close to where I could actually see Bernie up close and yeah the energy was great! n/t

[retrowire]

11. Well congrats!

I might go to the Durham, NC grand opening of Bernie's HQ! MAYBE I DONT KNOW

[LongTomH]

25. Bernie was in Kansas City yesterday. I was outside, working the crowd in line.......

....getting them to sign 'Commit to Vote' cards. I was at the back of the crowd in Bartle Hall; but, I got to hear him speak.

[Marty McGraw]

27. ( ._.)

[MissDeeds]

34. My husband and I were there too!

Awesome crowd, and people were still streaming in 45 minutes after the speech was scheduled to start.

No way does HRH draw in the crowds Bernie does.

[JimDandy]

54. Good deal! n/t

[gregcrawford]

33. When his schedule permits...

... Bernie hosts a birthday cruise on the Lake Champlain Ferry in September. My wife and I went on one of them and I got to shake hands, give him my card, and speak with him for a bit. I reminded him that we'd spoken several times on a VPR call-in show, and he remembered "Greg from Gaysville*," and one of my calls in particular when he was still in the House and running for reelection against a Republican carpetbagger. I asked the guy if he was going to truly represent the interests of Vermonters, or just do whatever Tom "The Hammer" DeLay told him to do. He was not amused. But Bernie was! And he interrupted the rather caustic scolding the carpetbagger was sputtering. Kinda wish he hadn't 'cause I was looking forward to tearing the jerk a new one. Figuratively speaking, of course!

Bernie's a good man, and don't believe a word the Clinton bridge burners say!



* Yes, Virginia, there is a Gaysville, Vermont!

[ybbor]

46. Awesome!

I saw him last week! Still feeling the Bern! Got very close.



Wasn't the vibe incredible?

We gotta make this happen people!

Go Bernie Go!

[MuseRider]

2. As long as Bernie

is in it I suspect we will be as well and his support will continue to grow. I can't imagine anyone giving up. He is just getting past his wind up.

[erlewyne]

24. When Bernie Sanders tells me to guit, I will.

I am voting for Bernie!

5. Great post

I'm not falling for it.

KC and OK happened just yesterday, I was there in KC and trust me, they are not going to fall for it either.

Bernie 2016!!!!!

[ZM90]

7. Neither is OK and I know because I was there I am sure Bernie is going to win Tulsa county and

probably OK as well on March 1st.

[fredamae]

6. Dear CorpoMedia - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FU n/t

[TBF]

10. Definitely - and it's important to vote in these SEC states

because many times votes are proportionally awarded in the primaries (as they are in TX). That can affect what happens at the conventions.

After Super Tuesday things line up much better for Bernie in northern and swing states - and those are the states we will need in the general. Moderates are going to control this election & the Reagan dems that don't like Trump are potential votes for Bernie. Bernie as an independent without all the baggage stacks up very well for the general. I think it's more about surviving Super Tuesday with as much as we can get, donating, and then finishing strong.

[ZM90]

12. Yep. March 1st I will be going to the polls to cast one of the proudest votes of my life.

The only vote I would be even prouder to cast is for Bernie in the general election .

[Fawke Em]

41. Tennessee here - one of the Super Tuesday states.

My husband, mother and I have already cast our ballots for Bernie during early voting!

[TBF]

49. I voted early here in TX also -

a week ago actually.

[appalachiablue]

13. Not buying it. The M$M and even some on the left have rushed to promote

the notion that Bernie's momentum and chances are slipping since Nevada. I disagree.
There's a LONG WAY to go yet and Bernie is leading in 3 recent national polls including Quinippiac Feb. 13, and beating everyone, including TRUMP.

FEEL THE BERN!!!

15. It will just make me work harder

[ChiciB1]

16. In It To Win It... This Is Why WE Don't Need Hillary!

We WON'T BE CONTROLLED!

[jwirr]

21. Remember that discouraging a vote is not much different

from obstructing a vote.

In it to win it. I will only quit when Bernie quits.

[90-percent]

17. IT'S BERNIE OR OLIGARCHY

It's Bernie or the 21st Century American version of Adolf Hitler. (Perhaps including micro penis and one non-descending testicle?)

Hey, the Don, show us your junk to prove you aren't a reincarnated you-know-who! With your recent record, it will probably only help you in the polls!

18. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[JDPriestly]

19. Liberal West Coast states, California, Oregon and Washington have been seated in the back of the bus

this primary season.

Says it all.

The first states to vote are among the conservative states.

Stupid Tuesday has a large number of Southerners voting on it.

Don't expect a real liberal to do much of anything in most of the states voting on that day.

Let's see. We have Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, South Carolina, Alabama -- the stupid states voting on Super Tuesday.

We also have Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Vermont that day, but the headlines will be how Trump took all the stupid states so be prepared.

This primary schedule is rigged toward the right. I hate to say it, but it is.

[Marty McGraw]

28. and you have to know

That DWS is perfectly fine with all That.

[dpatbrown]

32. Most of the time,

we here in California know that our vote doesn't have any bearings on most primaries, not just this one. We don't vote until June 7th, winner take all, and 546 delegates at stake. This year I expect California to carry a lot of weight, in other words, to pick the winner. California will go for Sanders in a landslide.

[JDPriestly]

39. Thanks. I agree. The West Coast is Sanders nation.

I want free tuition at state schools. I watched the immigrant kids practicing for ROTC at the local high school. Those are the kids who don't have the money for college, aren't the very, very top scholarship students, but who want an education. They offer their bodies to the military. Cannon fodder in exchange for education.Y

If we had free tuition for capable students at state schools, it would be great for minority kids including immigrant kids. Those are the young people in my neighborhood.

Bernie knows what it is to be the child of immigrants, to be talented, but to have no money for fulfilling dreams.

America is about fulfilling dreams.

Bernie gets it.

And that is why I am voting for Bernie.

I don't want to see the kids in my neighborhood used as cannon fodder for Hillary's wars. I trust Bernie to run a sane, healthy foreign policy. He has the judgment to do that. Hillary has proved that she does not.

California should vote first in the Democratic primaries in my opinion.

[dpatbrown]

50. Hi JD

Yes, first. You are spot on.
Your reasons for voting for Sanders are the best.

I taught school in a low income neighborhood for 26 years, and I know there are many kids who can make it. Just a nudge, a little assistance. Pays off big time in the long run.

I would love to be the state that puts Senator Sanders over the top. I've waited a long time, as have many others on this site, for a honest progressive.

[JDPriestly]

52. Hi. You are still new. So good to have you here.

[Jopin Klobe]

20. If this Gentleman can dedicate his entire life to our Democracy ...

... the absolute very LEAST we can do is support him ...

... if, for nothing else, for our own sakes ...

... they are ALL scared ... and that's good ...

... in the United States, the People are afraid of the Government ...

... in Europe, the Governments are afraid of The People ...

... I prefer the latter ...

[2banon]

36. Hear! Here!

[TIME TO PANIC]

22. K & R!

CUT THE CORD!

[Petrushka]

23. Give up? Stop fighting? When HRC says her Mom taught HER to never quit? I mean . . .

. . . of all things, I received a 4-page letter from Hillary today saying "Republicans are coming after us with everything they've got."

Two pages later, she goes on to say, "We need your support to run TV and radio ads to counter their attacks with the truth -- produce digital ads so people can share our message online -- grow our Party's grassroots network even further in all 50 states -- and invest in the technology needed to target voters and get them to the ballot box on Election Day,"

She ends the letter by saying, "Please, while this letter is still in your hands, make your donation so that together we can defeat the Republicans and build the kind of future hard-working Americans deserve. Thank you."

Whoa!

How did my address get on her mailing list . . . unless the DNC made it available to her? And, since I haven't renewed my DNC membership for YEARS . . . well, let's just say I'm saying, politely of course, to poor hat-in-hand Hillary: "Hell, no . . . I support Bernie! Now, git off my lawn!"

My Mom taught ME a thing or two, too!

[LibDemAlways]

45. She's worth well over 100 million. She gets corporate money from

Super Pacs. She charges big $$$$ to attend her fundraisers. She has a lot of nerve trying to squeeze more from the 99%.

[PatrickforO]

26. Nobody's giving up.

[INdemo]

29. Agreed....

[Jack Rabbit]

30. If they want us to give up, then they don't understand us

The "opponent" or "enemy" is neither HRC nor even the Third Way/DLC; they are the oligarchs and their neoliberal stooges of whatever politicial party who push an unsustainable and unjust socioeconomic economic system that has destroyed the middlle class and democracy. Our goal is not to make Bernie Sanders president, it is to restore democracy. That's a lot more important than who wins in 2016.

This is not an election campaign; it is a revolution.

[JDPriestly]

31. A vote for Bernie is a vote for courage.

It is a vote for moral rectitude.

What if Martin Luther King had said, "Well, there's a mighty big crowd out there against me and my campaign for civil rights. Guess I had better shut up and give up?"

Where would the civil rights movement be today if Martin Luther King had not shown the courage he showed?

Bernie's campaign for democracy is the only way that our national civil rights movement can continue in the spirit of Martin Luther King.

We progressives cannot accept the fate of always sitting in the back of the bus as we have been told to do. We must claim our seat at the lunch table, the economic table, of our country just as brave African-Americans did in the 1960s.

At this point, economic justice and privacy the civil rights issues of our time.

We cannot give in to our fear.

I'm with Bernie through the convention and into the White House. All the way to the White House.

Hope you are all with me.

Don't give in to fear. Anything can happen. Don't give in to fear.

[zentrum]

35. Not falling!!!

[PatrynXX]

37. Not after spending more money than ever on one person

no I don't think so. That was intentional to. To make sure I fight to our candidate. We don't need another selected candidate or winner

38. Kickin' & a Recken'

Excellent Thread! Thank You and everyone else participating in this struggle

!

[Fawke Em]

40. Why would I ever believe known liars?

Of course I won't give up!

[Thespian2]

42. I don't personally know HRH.

I don't care for her lying about almost everything...I don't care for the fact that she carries water for corporations of all stripes and Wall Street criminals...I have already sent my international ballot to Florida...I did not vote for the "Inevitable" candidate...

I send Bernie a donation each month...So, hell no! We won't quit until Bernie says quit...

[HooptieWagon]

43. Not falling for their bullshit.

They are greatly worried, that's why they're wanting Sanders out now, and trying to silence criticism of the corrupt Third Way.

[Red Oak]

44. I'm in the fight all the way to Bernie's Presidency!

[DrBulldog]

47. Do what I do - if you have the time

When an important issue that supports Bernie appears anywhere that has some DOCUMENTATION with it (i.e. a web page link), I re-post respectfully it on a blog seen by Hillary supporters. It's known as a "truth bomb". If I can wake up a FEW PER CENT of them, that could turn the whole election process. Believe me, many of the Hillary people take great pride in preserving their ignorance . . .

[dana_b]

48. THANK YOU!!!!

I was going to post something like this but I'm kind of wrapped up in family-land right now. Please consider posting this in the GDP anyway?? I know that it's no fun and the Hillary supporters can be brutal but maybe more Bernie people r better yet, undecideds, will see it.

Thanks again!!

58. Give up? We just got started!!

I know it has been a long week, but there is a whole new month of opportunity starting next Tuesday.
I guess, in a way, you could call it . . . (wait for it) . . . "Super Tuesday".

Har-dee-har-har har.

59. This is Spider Jerusalem, the protagonist

This is Spider Jerusalem, the protagonist of a series by Warren Ellis titled Transmetropolitan. Set in a dystopian cyberpunkish future, it follows Spider, a gonzo journalist, as he tries to take down a corrupt politician.

Every law that curbs my basic human freedom; every lie about the things I care for; every crime committed against me by their politics; that what’s makes me get up and hound these fuckers, and I’ll do that until the day I die… or until my brain dries up or something.

Got it?

62. Never quit, never surrender.

Why would we quit now, when polls are showing him gaining nationally, even ahead in some polls, when he wiped the floor with her in a primary and watched as they cheated to barely beat him in two caucuses?

What kind of supporters would we be if that was a sign we should quit?

What kind of supporters would we be if we quite and abandoned the growing numbers of blacks and Latinos who are finding their way to Bernie? They need our support and encouragement more than ever, so they can find the path to true freedom and equality.

What kind of supporters would we be if we abandoned all the young people who are fired up for the man who will lead them to a prosperous future?

What kind of supporters would we be if we ignored the troubles of the poor, the elderly, the sick, the homeless?

What kind of supporters would we be if we gave up on stopping the endless wars for profit that leave our veterans and the people of other nations to suffer?

I'm with Bernie all the way. All the way to the White House, because that's where he and Jane are going to be living this time next year.

I will never give up. Never quit.
