We need to make as stark a difference as possible.

We don’t “want” to beat Trump.

We MUST beat Trump. The future of the entire planet and our way of life depends on beating Trump.

3 new IA polls with sanders having lost the lead, Ntl polls as well

Neither will Bernie.

I have been told many times Bernie is a better Democrat than most. Not true.

When there is so much to be positive about Bernie?

MFA, Legal Cannabis and so much more we all want? (like 70% plus of us Dems for both)

I think that question should be asked of Bernie and friends. I will never side with a campaign of Steiners and friends. I will not support a campaign that calls my Senator a liar. I will not support a campaign that calls Biden corrupt, then has to walk that back. I will not support any campaign that is 100 % negative.

We live in a horrible world with trump. We don't need that from those that call themselves Democrats. I am terrified for our future and that of our children, aren't you?


The only vote he will get from me is the GE.

Mind if I call you Kasper?

Shorter.

Thank you.

I have tried most times to go by peeps names. Some are to long.

I know we are just a board of anonymous peeps. However we really are more than that. I have some great cyber and personal friends from DU, kasper.

So I’m saying - “what sheshe said!” Coz you said it perfectly.

their candidate.

Check the top of the Board.

We handled that one as a state’s rights issue and did it ourselves. Doing it as Med Marihoochi was better. We kept it at mom and pop level and could get way stronger edibles and smoke. As rec it’s way too regulated and big business is about to swoop in. So you’re saying Bernie wants to have it be a corporate moneymaker is what I’m hearing.

Shouldn't Bernie remain true to his pledge?

No "whataboutisms" please.

Beating Trump is only one of many considerations.

However, if given a chance - I will pick a candidate who seems to embody more of the things I value more. Pettiness is not one of them.

L-

that matter to you. Remember, if we don't beat DT, none of what you care about will matter.

Pretty much says it all.

Yes, he's very different in ideology. He actually has one, for one thing.

But is a goal in the opposite direction enough reason to give enormous power to yet another politician who believes his ends justify whatever means he needs to get power? Especially when one of the similarities is that both believe they know far more than the people and another is that neither cares that most people don't want what they do?

(Yes, yes, all who've read his stuff know Sanders believes we'll all be much happier, and better people too, working for collectives, yada yada.)

get a clue

Perhaps if more high-profile Sanders supporters called out the nonsense like this, his surrogates would figure out that they should turn it down a notch or two. Not likely to happen, but one can hope.

having to threaten to change their vote on their current candidate.. because of the "Lying Smears" on the Front Runner.

I misunderstood; my apologies. I was kind of impressed that he recognized it and noted it publicly. He is opening himself to a bit of social media wrath.

TY, hpd!

Boom, there it is.

and they are leaving in droves

That is why Bernie apologized. Not because he is genuinely sorry but because it blew up in his face. The apology is simply damage control and inauthentic.

He will NEVER be our nominee.

How much earth will he scorch is the only question.

Is not a winning strategy. Is does disgust voters. And this time out, Democrats are voicing their discontent and the polls are showing the result. It started with Elizabeth Warren and moved onto Joe Biden.

It's not working this time. Because we all lived 2016. Hello?

...He elevates himself by trashing his would be allies. For example, here he is with the New York Times engaging in false equivalency blaming the Democratic and Republican establishment for failing the American people. So, Nancy Pelosi should be blamed for failing the American people in the era of Trump? Seriously?
