Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumAn anecdote from NY...
...FWIW. My county committee endorsement meeting was last week (I'm a non-participating member currently - got burned out). From what I heard from an attendee, the "Party" says HRC "will" be the candidate, so she was endorsed. That's no big deal. The big deal is that my contact has been in the party leadership for over 15 years, and she supports Bernie. As do lots of other committee members, even if privately. The consensus is that HRC is bought and paid for, and/or a war monger. Neither trait gets any admiration around this part of the state except from the R's.
And I understand there isn't anyone on the county committee that's "in charge" of any campaign activities for HRC. It seems that her supporters are either just taking it for granted that she'll win or not willing to put any effort into getting her elected. But considering I have yet to see a single Hillary bumper sticker (except for one that said "Hillary for Prison 2016" or lawn sign, but there are lots of Bernie ones, thereismore could very well be right in saying that Hillary could be in for a nasty surprise in this state.
(Back to work now.)

(23,156 posts)(I'm probably slightly paraphrasing) that all it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to say nothing.
If they support Bernie, why the hell aren't they making that clear?
No wonder everyone "expects" Hillary to be the nominee and then President. Because people are totally convinced that she really is inevitable, an there's no point in fighting.
