Many Bernie supporters attacked Warren in some ugly fucked up ways when she didn't endorse Sanders JI7 Nov 2016 #210

thanks for putting it into those words LiberalLovinLug Nov 2016 #108

No one supporting her ever thought that- but BOBs pushed it hard .... bettyellen Nov 2016 #145

That's exactly what LiberalLovinLug didn't say. progressoid Nov 2016 #84

Yes, shockingly I think Hillary is just a woman. As I think Bernie is just a man LiberalLovinLug Nov 2016 #103

A better candidate that couldn't beat hillary. Also got millions less votes than her. boston bean Nov 2016 #227

She did stand up for the working class. Who are the people feeling she didn't and why? boston bean Nov 2016 #228

Right...because Hillary's economic ideas were so anti-working class and all. Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #264

What she said about coal hurt her. Qutzupalotl Nov 2016 #268

The truth is DPutin is going to stand up to Wall Street?!?! Really?! uponit7771 Nov 2016 #115

Bullshit...you elected a president who's policy is the opposite of progressive...but Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #130

Ridiculous LiberalLovinLug Nov 2016 #197

I've read your multiple posts at JPR Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #260

Ridiculous. Never would have won. Justice Nov 2016 #277

If the Democratic Party believes this obvious untruth cpwm17 Nov 2016 #317

Sorry, Bernie would have been destroyed. See Eichenwald's post mortem. emulatorloo Nov 2016 #355

There's a good rebuttal of his nonsense article here.. Kentonio Nov 2016 #392

Eichenwald is an investigative reporter. Your blogger is an opinion writer. emulatorloo Nov 2016 #407

The revolution is over. He has already caved to King Donald. leftofcool Nov 2016 #135

She's not. athena Nov 2016 #102

Yay. Let's bash Bernie! progressoid Nov 2016 #85

Some of them think everyone to the left of John Podesta should be kicked out of the party. Ken Burch Nov 2016 #90

Wow. Don't know those Dems. Hyperbole much? (nt) ehrnst Nov 2016 #106

You know Sanders isn't in the party, right? okasha Nov 2016 #221

Whether he is or not isn't the point. Ken Burch Nov 2016 #222

Yeah, I totally got that from Bernie supporters - "Let's all work together" ehrnst Nov 2016 #104

Who cares about Bernie Sanders? Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #132

Who cares? 13 million primary voters for starters. progressoid Nov 2016 #138

The primary is over and we lost the election... Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #139

It would seem one person's bashing is another's constructive criticism. progressoid Nov 2016 #198

I have heard the video where Bernie talks about Identity politics. Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #239

Dude. The primaries ended in July. Tiggeroshii Nov 2016 #87

FYI maybe you should relay that to Bernie Fucking Sanders. As I recall, he LOST. Maru Kitteh Nov 2016 #206

So did Clinton Tiggeroshii Nov 2016 #211

And yet only one of them is now acting like a sore loser. Maru Kitteh Nov 2016 #216

Again, how is giving an opinion, after doing everything he can to help us win, Tiggeroshii Nov 2016 #217

Ha I can do without this sort of 'help'. It would be nice if we could Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #261

The arrogance is frankly astounding. Kentonio Nov 2016 #395

He still has a role in politics, unlike Clinton Nevernose Nov 2016 #275

Joyless? No, THAT'S a hoot. Kentonio Nov 2016 #394

I have always liked Bernie, but I'm really sad that he said this. cry baby Nov 2016 #88

I agree, and he does seem bitter Fast Walker 52 Nov 2016 #120

I am going to lose my mind...he is like the energizer bunny... Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #116

Great piece in Alternet about the dangers of this kind of thinking ehrnst Nov 2016 #129

Fuck him. He used the Dems, Hillary and the convention itself and bashed them all bettyellen Nov 2016 #146

I agree with Bernie. How did that "Identity Politics" work out for us? jalan48 Nov 2016 #148

Quite well, considering Hillary is on track to win by 2 million votes. She won't get the WH... Hekate Nov 2016 #205

Yes, the same rules have only been in place for about 240 years.. Kentonio Nov 2016 #396

I can't believe you actually believe that. MelissaB Nov 2016 #313

I can't believe you don't. athena Nov 2016 #314

I donated to both as well, for exactly the same reason DFW Nov 2016 #332

How is it an 'ugly and offensive comment' exactly? Kentonio Nov 2016 #397

But he would have been elected, don't you know, because he appealed to the same white dudes duffyduff Nov 2016 #212

What's wrong with anything he said there? Kentonio Nov 2016 #398

You are promoting a false meme - that the only people who supported her was because she's a woman. Lil Missy Nov 2016 #281

No-one is saying that's the only reason people supported her. Kentonio Nov 2016 #399

If you can't see it then there is no use trying to explain it to you. Lil Missy Nov 2016 #412

Well that's up to you of course. Kentonio Nov 2016 #414

So you found his statement divisive and you thought it best to JCanete Nov 2016 #308

I disagree with his sexism. Have since the primary. Next question.... LexVegas Nov 2016 #333

examples please...your feeling that he's sexist because he ran against your candidate who JCanete Nov 2016 #341

Good. Glad you like it (nt) jack_krass Nov 2016 #325

Trump and the neo-Nazis disagree with him. They prefer identity politics... Orsino Nov 2016 #327

I saw Sanders true colors in the primary. nt LexVegas Nov 2016 #329

Yes, Hillary should NEVER have said, "I'm a woman, vote for me." DFW Nov 2016 #331

You mean like her surrogate Madeleine Albright's now infamous quote.. Kentonio Nov 2016 #400

If you want to rag on Madeline Albright, go ahead DFW Nov 2016 #416

So just to clarify.. Kentonio Nov 2016 #417

If my claim that Hillary never said that is wrong, feel free to point out where and when she did DFW Nov 2016 #418

Ah so having a surrogate do it is completely different.. Kentonio Nov 2016 #419

I don't think it gets any more identity based than calling oneself a Berniecrat. lapucelle Nov 2016 #340

Bernie is using a gaslighting technique. LisaM Nov 2016 #351

I was also offended by this statement by Sanders Gothmog Nov 2016 #353

"Magic Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest revolutionary of all?" betsuni Nov 2016 #354
