Sergg posted:In before Bernie's Facebook page is flooded with people calling him a traitor and sellout Most people will do what people do every election and post-rationalize that it was the strategically correct- or obvious- decision to make. Some will say that Bernie's endorsement is the acid test that they needed to vote for her. Others will remember having been 'for her' the whole time, but maybe "on the fence about one or two issues." I believe that a lot of the venom aimed at Hillary from the Sanders camp this election has been more about finding reasons to support Bernie, the candidate, than it is the other way around. Sure, a lot of it echoed decades-old talking points, but people were looking for reasons to hate Hillary and cudgel democrats who weren't seeing eye-to-eye with their dream candidate and, based on polls, costing him an easy win. I don't think that an appreciable portion of Berniebros are gonna turn on him with his endorsement now because his candidacy was the whole impetus for their zeal. Hillary had been a lock on 2016 for the majority of the last decade and an *exceptionally* galling republican primary field this past year just fueled the drive for people to fall in behind her. The Bernie camp needed urgency on their side to make a case for breaking ranks.

Come for the easy jobs and low cost of living, stay for the food made in "irish" pubs with bloody mary specials that will have the drinks stick to your ribs more than the full english breakfast. Ok now, I don't think I ever made it to Mankato in the 20 years that I lived in North Dakota, but lets dispense with this fantasy that there are 'myriad' Chinese, Indian, and Mexican restaurants in Fargo serving real food. I like a greasy american-chinese buffet as much as the next pudgy goon, but come on.

The response to this in most Berniebro circles seems to be "He didn't say the word 'endorse' so he's not endorsing her! That indictment will come any day now!"

I will be very surprised if it doesn't. Sanders has two very big strengths for Clinton - Shores up support among the more left-leaning Dems. - Sanders can be populist and angry in a way Clinton isn't allowed to be. It's possible he won't be (Clinton was a close second to Obama in 2008 and wasn't a VP pick) but I think it's been leaning that way for a while.

Clinton does not give two fucks about the "progressive movement" and how it feels about her VP selection. She's going to select a person she gets along with personally and whom she believes is most capable of supporting her agenda. If there's one thing Clinton is, its a ruthless pragmatist. I think Kaine is at the top right now followed closely by Castro.
