Can't fucking wait. The bright side of this is it gives Barney Frank a nice opportunity to melt Bernie's face.
Things will probably go back to normal around August. But every minute wasted on this pettiness only helps Trump grow stronger.

Bad.
This isn't a revolution. What are you even talking about?

As a minority within the lgbt and immigrant communities, you have a lot of nerve to say that, considering you don't even live here, seem amazingly well off, thus don't have anywhere near as much to lose.
This is completely unnecessary and he's causing this mess.

The essence of Sanders encapsulated in one gif.
This primary has pushed me from apathetic and at least moderately anti-establishment to firmly pro-establishment Democrat.
I'm not interested in a political revolution led by crybaby conspiracy-theorist dipshits who probably fantasize about throwing bricks through Starbucks windows during WTO protests.

You just want to see the CAD go up and USD go down.
Not to Barney Frank. He's had Bernie pegged since day 1. If only we had listened.
I am getting reeeeeeaaaaallllll sick of this weird "guns don't kill people - people kill people" bullshit coming from people who should know better.

Oh yes, Tabris the Great here again to lecture us savages. How will we ever survive without such sage advice as "Hey get Universal Health Care like I already have" without any actual understanding how our country works.
Please take a course or two on US Government or stop commenting on these threads. You are extremely ignorant about our society and our lives.

Where do you live? Canada?
He is also an expert in Chinese Propaganda because of Google Translate.
Just ignore him.
Hundreds of millions of Americans are OK to happy about how things are now with many fo them opposing the type of revolution that Sanders wants. There's more to a country than how progressive it appears to the outside world.
Curious as to what his wealth has to do with UNC? Or wanting the US to progress forward on issues? Or forcing his platform on the DNC?

Yea he did a bang up job being down 300+ pledge delegates and ~3 million popular vote
Math is too conservative for this country!
You're right, even Trump has no problem working with people who shit on him like Marco Rubio. Bernie is no Trump

He's also unironically for abolishing the franchise for anyone who doesn't live in an urban city center.
It sucks because Bernie's vision is absolutely worth fighting for. The man himself...no.Jesus, you're probably right
This is what if have been telling people for months, including referencing that same Frank quote.
Yup yup yup. He has made it abundantly clear that my faith in him was misplaced.

Fuck it I'm going to throw out an hypothesis I've been running over in my head.
Of all the candidates Bernie Sanders is the candidate whose campaign and campaign behavior is the most subservient to money.
Clinton's backers are largely generic Democratic Party backers. They'd be donating to whoever was the favored candidate. She's got a fredom to do whatever because people aren't gonna stop donating.
Sanders though? Sanders is a different beast, especially now. His backers are largely people who have really bought into Bernie Sanders the persona, if he started shifting to accepting defeat and towards uniting the party to defeat Trump, all his money goes away because that's not what he's getting money to do.
I mean look at the crazy shit in Nevada. It's literally on his financial interest to do these things
Just an idea. I'm not saying I'm right.

They are frantically googling to see who they are and finding Fox News and Breitbart hit-pieces to link.
This is idiotic, and a fast track to a Trump presidency. The "revolution" failed to even spark. Clinton has all but won the primary, and by a large margin of both popular vote and delegates.
And I gag at your terrible use of that Gladiator quote.

No. No it won't. At this point Sanders will be lucky if he can even keep his Senatorship after this stunt.

This is as bad as responding to Tabris, but
This tool is 100% an establishment tool, one that would be used to circumvent the fact that he lost the election.

This is what started to become apparent to me since about...January or so. I had increasing problems all through the fall, but it was the start of this year where I started to really dislike his personal character

Oh it will unify the party. Everyone will hate Sanders. Any progressive/leftist/person with a heartbeat would pick Frank over Sanders without 2nd thought.

No this is bullshit and shifts the blame away from the people that actually has the power. The Voters themselves.
If the voters can't be "inspired" enough to not allow an openly Racist, Misogynist be president.? If the Voters can't be "inspired" enough to give a shit about healthcare, police reform, Supreme court justice nominations? If the Voters van't be "inspired" enough to even educate themselves of the issues or just get off their lazy complacent asses to vote in the first place?No that not Hillary fault.
This country, not to mention large sections of the middle east was completely fucked over and almost bankrupted Under Bush Jr. NOT Because Gore or Kerry didn't "inspire". It's directly the fault of the stupid and lazy and easily frightened American electorate.

Why was Nevada the tipping point for you? Some of Bernie's supporters, and in the later phases the candidate himself, have been behaving badly though most of the campaign.
For the worst behavior I experienced myself, incredibly rude behavior like this: https://youtu.be/gmj695Vwlwk?t=2h49m16s towards Barney Frank at the Maine Democratic Convention this May was quite unpleasant to experience. I know things were even worse in Nevada than Maine, but that was just an extension on past behavior. I'm sure most will come around eventually and support Hillary, but the fit some are throwing now is unfortunate.

What are you doing, Colonel Sanders?
I really want to continue supporting you, dude.
The worst thing about this is it validates you to continue shitposting about how Sanders wants to destroy the world.

Huelen pls. How is "do everything I want or we riot and halt the convention" in any way helping unity?

It's a dog whistle threat for a National Nevada

Using such language is pretty good when you don't want to leave a group but want to get as close to a semblance of being kicked out to justify your cause further. That's what this is.

The DNC gives him more than he deserves at the convention is this is how he thanks them?
What a vile politician. He's lost all the respect he once had. He is destroying his reputation and turning into a bitter, cranky old man.
Nobody will bat an eye when he retires from the Senate. It'll probably be a sigh of relief to get the crazy coot out.
