Quote:Politics isn't bean bag. The clintons play hard ball, and that curly Shultz is a corporatist rat that deserve nobody's respect but the elite masters she serves.


With that said, did you listen to bernies's speech? The movement was pushed forward by Bernie sanders. The Clinton campaign has moved toward Bernie on tpp, on affordable college education, and on citizens United.


This is how politics works. You win and you lose, and you have to compromise to try and get as much of your agenda moved forward as possible. Bernie did just that.


Prior to Bernie, none of the issues I pointed out would probably be one the fore front as they are now.


As a Bernie bro, that isn't a sell out. I've been listening to Bernie talk since 2012--- he has been a regular on the Thom Hartman show for a very long time.


It's cool for those low info people that don't know Bernie all that well to critique him, but people that have been following Bernie and really understand his message may be disappointed that Clinton won, but there is a clear understanding that trump is an unacceptable alternative.

Low info? That seems to be your go to anytime someone has a different opinion than you. You must have quite the view up on your horse.


Has he moved his movement forward? Absolutely. But he sold out to do it. You state that like that was his only option. It wasn't. He could have continued moving his movement forward 3rd party or not supporting Hillary. Those were options as well. Now he is attached to Hillary and part of the club. You say it is politics, but he represented an honest politicians, one of the very few and didn't do things because "that's how it works." If no one did things different nothing would change.


There is a lot of danger in the message that no matter how corrupt we get or how many things we do wrong, we got to hear Trump. The danger is you become numb to your own parties problems without demanding more. It is a great line that the democrats have fed their voters. No matter what we got to beat Trump. Yeah, I know we didn't run fair campaign and tried to sabotage Bernie, but listen, we got to beat Trump so don't worry about it. I may have compromised naational security, but we got to beat Trump so let's not lose our focus. Okay so I hired Schultz who represents everything wrong in politics today, but hey, you, over here, we got to beat Trump so keep your head forward and don't worry about all these little things that are going on.


Just shows how powerful the narrative is. You've been pounding away at it too.
