Might as well write in mickey mouse dood. You'll be doing about as much good.
I would've rather Bernie just refuse to issue an endorsement period.
But I guess he thinks he can still push the Democratic platform towards the direction he wants, and burning bridges won't facilitate that.
Well. So much for Barney Sandals.
Political suicide at it's finest. He was collecting "donations" up to the moment he gave this endorsement and people are going off like firecrackers right now that he didn't support Stein.
Too bad I'm still not gonna vote for Hillary then, Bernie.
woo go Hillary!
Bernie just killed the last breath of his after-the-campaign-progressive-berniecrat movement he was hoping to form.
it is as though both the democrats [I]and[/I] republicans in this thread want trump to be president
amazing

Well he wont get anything done if he burns all his bridges and shits on everyone because he didn't win.
never trust communists that take college debt funds
Hello, Jill.

Trump is not going to be president though. It's so painfully obvious.

You don't have to shit on clinton to not endorse her. You can't seriously talk about corruption in politics when you just ranted about Clinton being corrupt for half a year and then endorsed her. How are any of the bernie progressives supposed to treat his endorsement of down ticket democrats seriously if he endorses the ones that he is complaining about. I know that it's typical for the loser to endorse the winner, but Bernie wasn't a typical candidate, he was supposedly fighting the system.
And the fucked system keeps on being fucked.
I get why he did it; but his "endorsement" doesn't mean I'm going to vote for Hillary either.
So it seems that despite all his talk about being against the establishment and Wall Street and big money, that Bernie Sanders turned out to be yet another career politican by endorsing the very person he pretended to preach against. Sad!
I'd almost feel bad for the people who took out loans to support that man's campaign only for him to sell out before the convention, despite having promised to take it all the way to the end. He should have stood by his assumed principles rather than to capitulate yet again.
There's no real winning in this situation. Look at it from the other direction, if he had endorsed someone else, someone somewhere would have called him a sore loser for it.
Man Bernie was supposed to be [I]different[/I]

Trump has a pretty good chance actually. I'd say with the controversy surrounding Hillary he could make it.

Does he have to endorse someone at all?
I think its time we put Bernie in a retirement home. Hes really gone off the deep end this time

And he also killed Trumps chance of getting elected. If he endorsed anyone but Clinton, then it would only further the massive divide in the democratic party right now, which is only going to further Trumps campaign.

If polling data is to be believed (and it has been incredibly accurate this far despite the media trying to completely ignore Trump's success since last august), he has a terrible chance.
Shouldn't have endorsed anyone tbh.
Endorsing third party would've split the vote. Endorsing Clinton trashes his own message.
I'm stumped at why people are having such a hard time grasping why he did this.
It's a repeat of Nick Clegg working with David Cameron.

Trump's campaign is being divided already by the libertarian party. He has no chance. He hasn't even spent any of the time he had since he won the nomination doing any real advertising because he can't even fund his campaign.
