Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

So the drama ended…not sure if I should say on a happy note, especially for our may friends like @Southie :slight_smile:

Sanders was very different from other campaigners as he promised a Mr. Robot style revolution, announced to break wall street banks’s hold up, free university education and what not.
Around 80 yrs old selfproclaimed socialist was very amazingly popular in young generation in particular.

But in the end he did the right thing, about time!

Lets go Hillary for the final challenge! :k:

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

Hillary is practical choice... Bernie... promising free education... while Trump building great wall of America.... Candidate with such irrational promises should be kicked out from presidential nominee...

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

Would have voted for either! Great person, loved his campaign and probably did good to Hillary for not giving her easy passage, make her a bit more battle tested

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

Thats right. Bernie took a stand on things that are supposed to be taboo in this country. E.g. Criticism on Israel

And Hillary learned a lot from him and as Southie calls her a hawk, she changed her policies as per that.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

hmm, I dunno, but I'm still not voting Hillary, I was a tried and true sanders supporter but I can't get my self to vote for someone who not only lies through her teeth but also someone who can't be trusted with national security but also someone who is negligent. Not to mention all the underhanded shady dealings with the DNC, I'll be voting third party.

She is still a hawk, she'll support TPP, and she'll shift or as they say "pivot" her position back to what it originally was after she is president. The only reason people will vote for her is so that Donald Trump wont become president. If there was ANY other candidate she would not be winning. Cause this is a literal **** show.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

^ If you are not voting for Hillary, then in theory you are voting for Trump. One less vote for democrats means one more vote for republicans

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

Hillary all the way. Good to see Sanders finally doing the right thing.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

^ Is he amongst the potential VP pick of Hillary? He should be.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

not likely. hillary is just another professional-grade politician who can flex every which way the lobbies/money blows, sanders had some ideals and values.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

so be it, and im in a battleground state ;)

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

My sentiments exactly. I won't be voting either.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

I predicted it long before this election started, if you think your vote matters, think again. In california, Bernie packed huge stadiums with his rallies whereas Hillary conducted her rallies within school gyms. Yet apparently she won? Yea she did because millions of votes were NOT counted and so many people were turned away from voting like my roommate for bs reasons. Local news papers reported the results of several counties in which Hillary was given a win but upon volunteer recount, Sanders won by a huge margin. Khair, I am still not voting for her, liars are my biggest pet peeve.

My pet peeves with Sanders

How do you promise free college education BEFORE fixing the public school system in minority neighborhoods. And BEFORE ensuring those incarcerated for petty crimes or getting 10x punishment for Crack vs cocaine are released and get a good public education. Why are you ANTI reparations for blacks who have a legitimate disadvantage whole being for free college education? Free college education will benefit those who have passed high school. I bet poor minorities will be UNDERREPRESENTED in this category. Clearly this is one way to redirect money AWAY from those who need and probably deserve it the most.

How do you reconcile your 35000 gallon consuming round trip to Rome to meet pope for 15 min with your climate change aganda. Doesn't compute, senator.

Why did you vote AGAINST funding a study that looked at risks of having a gun in the house? NRA?

Why did you vote for THE law that required regime change in Iraq back in late 90s. This law was supported by Cheney Runsfeld et al

Come on senator.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

So the DNC began yesterday and even the whole day became a circus, thanks to bernie supporters who are acting as they are off-leash. Now I do admire Bernie Sanders he gave a heck of a speech last night, one of the best, but the problem is he has created a monster and he cant stop it now. His supporters are crazy and acting like a angry mob, not even ready to listen to him. I'm sure if the security is taken off, they'll probably burn the whole building down.

I think Sarah Silverman bashed their disturbed behaviour most appropriately, not to forget she herself is a bernie supporter.

And on the top of it, they were chanting exactly the same slogans which were echoed in Republican convention, I mean seriously?

Luckily Michelle Obama escaped from their madness. And what a beautiful speech she gave!! Even many of my republican friends acknowledged it was one of the best speeches they have heard from any first lady.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

Michelle Obama's speech would be tough to emulate - she gave it better than the politicians themselves... maybe a future President?

I was disappointed by Elizabeth Warren's speech. a very cold and scripted one.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

She can certainly be the next Presidential candidate.

Warren did wut she does. we shouldnt expect too much from her.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

Sanders supporters will come around. It was expected the first day what they would do. Sarah killed it.

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

A historic moment.. hats off to Bernie!!

From “feel the bern”… to “feel the luv”

Re: Bye bye Bernie: Sanders endorses Hillary, terminates campaign

All those pledging not to vote will surely contributing in bringing the “good old days” back..
