BS doesn't like the Super Dels because they didn't go for him.. if he had as many as Hillary we wouldn't be having this conversation. That's terribly self-centered of him.
BS wants to ruin the Democratic Party and this is his big ** as he's going out the door.
Good article.. Mahalo, Iaaa~ I'm not worried about Hillary not winning though.. no matter who the repubs end up with. And, I don't think she needs to give BS any concessions.

Look, the revolution began in 2008. Sorry you're mad about being 8 years late. We'll keep it moving along with or without you.

"Now, after he has been decisively beaten in total votes — by nearly 4 million.. "
In essence, Sanders is inflicting his “political revolution” on the Democratic party, which up until now has treated him with extraordinary respect and deference – giving him chairmanship of important Senate committees, for example
Now, he is demanding – extorting – changes in how the Democrats run their primary – essentially to be more like the Republicans (and how did that go this year?) – eliminating Super Delegates, opening up all primaries to non-Democrats, and, oh yes, removing Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz from her position as DNC chair.
As a registered Democrat who leans progressive but also hugs a more moderate, centrist position, I object..

This one who's

"While I believe that no elected official should be above critique –lest we devolve into a cult of personality over substance –"
Why I do believe she's referring to BS.
Yay, Shay Chan Hodges!

Second, Chan Hodges noted that Gabbard has repeatedly criticized and mocked the Obama Administration for not saying we’re at war with “Islamic extremism”–something even Sanders opposes. “While I believe that no elected official should be above critique –lest we devolve into a cult of personality over substance –our district elected President Obama with a 70% majority, and a respectful discussion in an appropriate forum reflects both our district and Hawaiian values,” Chan Hodges noted.

Thank you, MADem
Fuck NO, BS.. No Silver Lining in Orlando.. how
could you possibly be so insensitive!?
This is how you "come together for Orlando" when you were MIA..
Our Democratic Party is the Party of Senator Chris Murphy who Filibustered to get a vote on banning Assault Rifles.. there better not be anyone @ our Convention.. dissing that party.. someone who couldn't even bother to show up for the historic Filibuster.
Chris Murphy

I am proud to announce that after 14+ hours on the floor, we will have a vote on closing the terror gap & universal background checks

Meet Al Giordano, the Man Who Wants to Take Bernie Down
Nearly zero odds of defeating an entrenched Washington politician? Check.
Little chance of Democratic Party support? Double check! A decades-old history of lefty activism that casts him as a hippie-turned-politico? Check, check, and check again.
So why would he do it? Because in Giordano’s view, and that of his social media supporters, Bernie is losing ugly and hurting Democrats’ chances of prevailing against Donald Trump in November.
“I mean, what haven’t they touched?” Giordano asks, peering at me via a 6-by-4 inch Skype window from his home in Mexico City. “What part of the Obama coalition have they not alienated? It’s like they want to erase the coalition.”

gabbard isn't Progressive enough for Kaua'i, either!
What an awesome find, HS!
I will work for her!
I emailed gabbard back and said I didn't want to hear from them anymore after she'd been whining about President Obama for months.. and then she endorsed BS.. of course.. the anti-President Obama.
I think she's a jealous war monger.
Wow! We were just talking about this last night.. and now this Great News!

Brilliant Bryan, Thank you! I'm puting that in my journal..
Bryan
19. I'll write him a thank-you note
Thank you for driving a wedge between liberal constituencies who would normally be able to find common ground.
Thank you for insinuating that Hillary Clinton is corrupt with nothing to back it up.
Thank you for using your platform with young people to advance a silly, reductive narrative of victimization and scorn.
Thank you for scoffing at the gains of the Obama years.
Thank you for taking a inchoate hunger for more progressive governance and responding with a "revolution" that consisted of whining, hectoring, and blowing through donors' money like it had an expiration date.
Thank you for your bitter, graceless refusal to admit to the defeat of your campaign.
