Sanders asking his supporters to run for office.

[LiberalFighter]

In most cases it is late to make that request. Which again demonstrates that Sanders doesn't have a clue about the requirements to run for office. In most cases the deadline has passed for anyone to file to get on the ballot. Most states have already held their primaries. And for the most part the next election that any of his followers might find an interest won't occur until 2018. By that time they will have all forgotten about this.

1. "I can't run for office this year, the system is rigged!" That's what this is about. More resentment

More anger, more disillusionment.

Bernie Sanders is a pied piper, leading his movement out of civilization, never to be heard from again.

[Tarc]

2. Most of the "BernieDems" or whatever their name for em is now...

that have endorsed him, and he has reciprocated endorsements, have either flamed out in their primaries, or are running in solid, deep red districts. Sanders does not have favorable coattails.

3. Gotta put down the cheetos and xbox controllers first

"Mom, can I run for city council?"

[Maru Kitteh]

8. "Mom, will you sign me up to run for city council"

and fill out all my forms

and make my posters

and do my campaigning for me?

Thanks!

[wysi]

9. The candidate could not attend the debate...

... because he didn't clean his room, and was subsequently grounded.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. Grounding? That's so ESTABLISHMENT MOM! You're such a corpratist tool

of the 1%. I hope you know that!

16. Lol

4. It's recycled anyway, like so much of the rest. From an actually gracious concession in 2004-

....there have been a lot of people who have decided to run for office locally as a result of this campaign.

We want to encourage you out there in the grassroots effort, run for office, support candidates like you who run for office, and we will use this enormous organization to support you as you run so we will change the face of democracy so that it represents ordinary Americans once again; government that will not be bought and sold.

That's Howard Dean, ol' man establishment himself.

Let me be clear, I will not run as an independent or third party candidate and I urge my supporters not to be tempted to support any effort by another candidate.

The bottom line is that we must beat George W. Bush in November whatever it takes.

That's how a Democrat does it.

5. Party loyalty...

...what a quaint idea in these revolutionary times.

[Maru Kitteh]

6. MSNBC interviewed at a seriously lame "watch party" in LA; asked if

they were talking about running for office like BS asked them to.

Supporters: No not really.
MSNBC: Now that Mr. Sanders in no longer competing for the nomination are you considering voting for Hillary?
Supporters: Well, he didn't really say he wasn't going to compete anymore, so we're still hoping he gets the nomination.

[LiberalFighter]

14. It did sound like they still thought Sanders had a chance.

Apparently, they didn't learn much in school abut government.

[KittyWampus]

7. they couldn't be bothered to register to vote, learn their states election laws or

actually show up to VOTE.

[teamster633]

11. But they did take some really great selfies at the rally that they posted on Instagram.

[DemonGoddess]

10. The disconnect from reality with those

they interviewed is kinda scary.

[Maru Kitteh]

15. They've been jumping in a bouncy castle powered by Unicorn farts

riding on rainbows.

Reality is a long, long, long way down.

[Cha]

13. Oh yeah, I can see them getting on that right freaking NOW!

[Maru Kitteh]

17. Right Cha? They can't bother to fill out a voter registration card (too oppressive!)

They can't be bothered to drag butt to the polls, but somehow they're going to charge out there and run for office?

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT 'revolution' Mr. Sanders.

[eastwestdem]

18. Good idea, turn their energies into something other than trashing Hillary. nt
