Sanders wants to keep his supporters energized in order to drive turnout and give himself more leverage to affect the platform at the convention. View his actions through this lens and most of his actions and statements become pretty reasonable.

I've loved Sanders ever since his 8 hour speech, bought his book, donated to his campaign, and voted for him in the primaries and as a write in back in 2012. He's completely lost me over the past couple months and I want him to go away.

Granted, one of those planks might be to moderately raise taxes to pay for education and/or healthcare, so obviously he is still deranged and should be put down like the mad dog he is before he destroys the Democratic Party.

it may just be me being a cynic, but I wouldn't trust any vote based on loudness when it is so common for stadiums to have artificial noise for sports e: also gently caress that guy

I mean his main goal in even running was just to pull the democratic party left which I'd say he did. I'm sure he's pretty surprised he got this far too.

It's also not like it's bad for Hillary for him to keep going. Once Sanders drops the entire news cycle becomes trumpfest until the convention.

FAUXTON posted:How fondly do Texans (at large, not just Dems) look upon Ann Richards? Over 35, raised by Republicans, wasn't paying attention during her governorship, but she was the kind of great old Texas lady you don't see much of these days. Her speech back at the 88 or 92 or whenever DNC was great, if you've never watched it. I'd trade Clinton for her in a hot second if she were still around.

It isn't great for Hillary, if Sanders retains support until the convention then he might be able put some center-left policy on the platform. It is a lot better to crush him and his attempt to move the party leftward now. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

There's some Trump surrogate on CNN claiming "Trump is really just pointing out racism" and it's the most baffling loving thing. If that's the convoluted way Trump is going to back out of this judge thing, he's in trouble. The other 7 people on with him all sound like they want to puke.

If he wants to achieve his stated goals then he needs to keep the pressure on and stay in until the convention at the very least, demonstrating there's real opposition to a rightward swing. Plus you know, he''s been stating that's exactly what he's going to do for his entire campaign. Hell you can see the pressure is working with the concession to the party platform committee, as unbinding as what they will produce largely is.

Trumps flags (why 6?) have gold tassels and fringes, I'm sure all the sovcits will appreciate that e: All my kinda racist coworkers are at their saturation point when it comes to Trump and his antics, a lot of them are considering Gary Johnson which means they're gonna go GOP down ticket so if he winds up picking up a few points of support nationally it probably isn't that great of news for flipping a ton of house seats. Something to keep an eye on I guess rscott fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Jun 8, 2016 |

If Hillary is such a terrible candidate that someone running against her in the primary is enough to make her lose to loving Trump then she deserves to lose. Fortunately I seriously doubt she is that bad so lets just have some faith in the candidate we are supposed to be supporting maybe.

I voted for Sanders and would prefer he won but it's really uncomfortable how simultaneously people at this point both are angry that Hillary Clinton cheated somehow via superdelegates and want Superdelegates to swap en masse to Sanders because that's different somehow.The dude I supported lost but I can't see any way it was 'unfair' unless there's something in the numbers I'm missing.

I have three rather loud Sanders supporters on my Facebook feed, and that's all they've been saying all day.

The only way that complaint even kind of holds up is that people like to vote for winners so the media always inflating Hillary's numbers with the supers was bullshit. But if that had any effect it was minor.

This whole primary has been loaded with "thing is bad, except when it benefits me, and then it is perfect and good," whether it be Clinton supporters being apparently incapable of accepting that the bad rules and laws can benefit them, or Sanders supporters going apeshit about superdelegates.

Friend, "constitutional convention" doesn't mean a big change. Real changes would be done entirely outside of the current framework of the constitution, which would be discarded as the new system would be "self-executing" as they say. If you're holding a consitutional convention, you're probably only going to come out with minor things like adjusting rules on congressional salaries or whatever.
