Washington, D.C. Democrat party primary v. can't [noun] the [Hill/Bern] (insert witty title here) - Polidicks

(I think I meant verb not noun whoops, excellent English right here) [quote=The Atlantic]Hillary Clinton has emerged the winner of the Washington, D.C., primary. Though Clinton had already effectively clinched the Democratic nomination, winning the D.C. primary must nevertheless be a sweet victory. The win is a high note for her campaign as the primary season draws to a close. In the days and weeks to come, Clinton will undoubtedly ratchet up her attacks on Donald Trump as the general election begins in earnest. The Clinton win also denies Bernie Sanders one last chance for victory in the final primary of the Democratic presidential race. For now, Sanders remains stubbornly in the race, despite the fact that any path he might have had to the White House effectively evaporated long ago. The Democratic rivals met on Tuesday evening, and despite his lingering presence, the senator no longer appears to pose much of a threat to Democratic unity. Above all else, Sanders seems intent on putting his own stamp on the party’s agenda and the electoral process in the run-up to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Later this week, Sanders is poised to lay out the path forward. Sanders will speak to supporters on Thursday evening in “a live, online video message” from Burlington, Vermont. What exactly Sanders hopes to achieve has increasingly come into focus. The senator laid out a series of demands in a press conference on Tuesday, calling for the “Democratic National Convention to approve a progressive platform, the most progressive platform ever passed by the Democratic Party.” He asked for reforms to the presidential nominating process, including the elimination of superdelegates, a group of influential party elites who can decide to support whichever candidate they choose.[/quote] Read more at [url]http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/06/democrats-washington-primary-sanders-clinton/486920/[/url] AP puts the results at: Clinton: 78.7% of vote; 16 delegates Sanders: 21.1% of vote; 4 delegates [editline]15th June 2016[/editline] [quote=The Atlantic]Significantly, [b]Sanders pledged to work with Clinton to make sure Democrats win the White House[/b]. “I look forward to meeting with her in the near future to see how we can work together to defeat Donald Trump and create a government, which represents all of us and not just the 1 percent,” Sanders said after a meeting with the president last week. Crucially, Sanders thanked the president and vice president for “impartiality,” a stand likely to make it easier for his supporters to eventually back Clinton if he drops out.[/quote]

Despite whatever grievances I might have with Sanders' platform, I must say the sheer momentum with which his campaign stirred up a radical progressive electorate out of thin air is absolutely stunning. It's a bittersweet feeling to see so much progress be made by such an unassuming politician, only to be so definitively crushed.

Shouldn't your title be a verb instead of a noun? Should've just left it to official SH thread maker Smurfy

[QUOTE=Code3Response;50524410]Shouldn't your title be a verb instead of a noun? Should've just left it to official SH thread maker Smurfy[/QUOTE] Yep. That's just natural, uneducated Strayanism in practice right there.

Iunno, I like this new template for forming slogans. Can't firetruck the Bern. Can't data security the Hill.

He really doesn't want Trump to win does he. Did Bernie ever state he'd back Clinton if he didn't make it?

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;50524482]Well this is big. He really doesn't want Trump to win does he. Did Bernie ever state he'd back Clinton if he didn't make it?[/QUOTE] Bernie has made it pretty clear that he's not pro/for Clinton, just really really anti-Trump. He's said that Clinton will have to "earn" his voter base herself rather than him explicitly telling them otherwise to just vote the party to stop Trump.

You're just going to have to choose a word that can be either a verb OR a noun for the title. "Catapult" for instance.

can't slander the sanders
