[QUOTE=Zenreon117;50775696]Yep so I look forward to maybe 1/4 of these promises being kept, and all the people in clinton's pocket will stay there. Nothing will change, and the rich will still get their daily slab of meat.[/QUOTE]
I'll take 1/4 over zero.
[QUOTE=VinLAURiA;50775701]Can't Bernie still run as Hillary's VP at this point?[/QUOTE]
She already picked a VP.
[QUOTE=VinLAURiA;50775701]Can't Bernie still run as Hillary's VP at this point?[/QUOTE]
Considering she already announced her running mate.
not going to happen.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;50775642]i really don't care, he got backstabbed and fucked up the arse and he's rooting for the team that did it
i got bullied for most of my life, like fuck id be rooting for them[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=VinLAURiA;50775701]Can't Bernie still run as Hillary's VP at this point?[/QUOTE]
why would he? VP actually doesn't do much. he has more power remaining a senator

Is that worse than literally [B]NONE[/B] of his promises being kept, and nothing changing?
[QUOTE=Snapster;50775691]Was twitch chat this aids during the RNC?[/QUOTE]
It was Pro Trump just like it is now
[QUOTE=.Isak.;50775689]No, you're fucking retarded for wanting Bernie to throw away the political revolution and hand the election to Trump by splitting the vote for the sake of "excitement."
You're not for the political revolution. You're for the drama. If you want Bernie to do [i]anything but endorse Hillary[/i], you want the political revolution to fail completely. End of.[/QUOTE]
HE ALREADY threw it away. That's why I'm upset. I'm not in for drama, I'm in for my FUTURE. Don't you fucking tell me I'm retarded for being passionate about this, I never called you names or insulted your intelligence. Back off.

He will probably be in her cabinet which is better, VP is just a posterboy anyway.
[QUOTE=joshuadim;50775675]For anyone crying about how the DNC fucked Bernie, yes they did. But we can't change that. We we can do is change the future by carrying out Bernie's grassroots movement to bring in progressive people willing to bring change to our voting system, our primary system, how our representatives work, etc.
THIS is how we prevent politics from being a shitshow like it has been this year.[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure Bernie would have still lost even without the DNC's interference. I like him, but the vote ended up being divided along race, class, and age, in a way that benefited Clinton.
[QUOTE=joshuadim;50775704]She already picked a VP.[/QUOTE]
A boring, Pence can fence-able VP.

He. Didn't. Throw. Shit. Away.
Jesus you people are impossible.

he was within 6% of winning
so I think he could have won

Yeah you're right, it's worse.
Schultz says thing: Booed off stage
Sanders says same thing: Cheered and applauded

YES YESSSS

If you're for your future, you would support Hillary now that the contest for the nomination is over. Only a united Democratic Party and its supporters can defeat the regressiveness that is Trump and the GOP's 2016 platform.

We won't know for sure until Hilary is in and we see how much she was actually influenced by Bernie she is. I'll give you that. I'm not completely unreasonable. I just hate being called fucking retarded for being passionate about Bernie and believing in HIS political revolution, free from corruption the likes of Hilary. This is all future speculation, but I'm basing my opinions on what we've seen this election and before.

How has he thrown it away? He's forced Hillary to lean much more left than she started. Sure he didn't win the election, but he's left the party in a situation where more change can be made, rather than demolishing it when he didn't get everything he wanted.
[QUOTE=Aztec;50775681]I don't care about establishment politics. I don't hate him, but he excited me with anti-establishment politics.
I couldn't care less about him now. He isn't the winner and he is endorsing a corrupt politician just like politics as usual.[/QUOTE]
You can forget about him when he loses the nomination, since he won't be on the ballot. But don't forget about his legacy, and don't forget about how he made you feel when he still "had a chance." This is how we slowly but surely change the politics and the world later down the road.
You want to brush him off just because he endorsed someone you disagree with? Sure. Just seems petty and immature. You want an anti-establishment candidate who's not endorsing someone corrupt? There's always Trump.

The only place that would happen is /r/S4P which is already a dead subreddit.
And Bill looks happy because he knows he will get another 4-8 years to stay in the White House.

I will continue to vote in local elections for people I consider progressive. I don't give a fuck about being told I'm petty for not supporting Hillary. If Trump wins it won't be my fault and if people want to say it is then go ahead.
