Sanders booed by house democrats

[Chief Justice Keef]

Yeah, how dare he not support Mi Abuela! It's not like he said he would vote for her or anything.

Honestly, this coordinated effort to project Sanders as an egotistical nutcase, who has spent the entire season talking about policy is beyond ludicrous. He's already said he's not going to be the nominee, he's just focused on implementing progressive ideas into the platform so, you know, the Democrats have a good chance of winning in November.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Democracy is about more than winning elections, you say!

Is it?

If democracy is about representing the people's concerns and not just getting elected to hold power, then no.

Anyone who calls themselves a socialist is a socialist and is dangerous to america.

Thanks for the input, Joseph McCarthy.

My Bernie supporting friends on Facebook are using this as evidence that he's just so outside of the "system," man.

Can someone enlighten me as to how being a Senator who supports a $15 minimum wage puts one outside of the system, but being a former Senator who supports a $12 minimum wage makes one reek of the capitalist bourgeois illuminati lizard people?

That's generalizing both candidates based on one issue.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Dude, you're talking about people who believe everything said by HA Goodman.

Dude, even BernieBros despise H.A. Goodman.

For someone whose preferred candidate prevailed, Lyndon sure seems to suffer from a massive pain in his anus.

I hear he blames Antichrist Bernie for that.

I bet right now LL has a picture of Bernie's face taped to cardboard, and he spends his free time throwing darts at it. At last, he will preserve the status quo.

Bernie is not a Democrat. Who set him up as the savior of that party? And why are his standards the ones that should be used? The guy has gall.

Sanders has always caucused with the Democrats, he's been given committee assignments and he's also been responsible for giving Democrats a majority in the past. Not to mention he's now an official member of the Democratic Party and he'll be running as one for the remainder of his political career.

And yet he doesn't actually care about the party in any way. He refuses to fundraise for downballot candidates and refuses to help the Democrats get young voters more active and still engaged. His "movement" is basically dead outside of a few nutters who won't support Democrats anyways and he is in danger of letting the other people who got active drift away for another 4 years.

Except he has supported downballot candidates. He literally sent out an email detailing an entire list of downballot candidates, including Tim Canova, Russ Feingold and Zephyr Teachout.

Along with the fact he has mobilized hundreds of thousands of young voters to register as Democrats in various states. He's also encouraged hundreds of his supporter to run as Berniecrats in all 50 states.

But ignore that if it doesn't help your case.
