Received an e-mail asking me to sign a thank you note to Bernie Sanders

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

From the DSCC of all groups. I declined.

Anyone else receive this e-mail?

[caquillo]

1. No, I didn't

What did the note say?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

2. ..

The progressive movement that Bernie Sanders helped unleash doesn’t end here.

Fair wages, health care for all, affordable college, expanding Social Security, paid family and medical leave -- it’s a future Democrats still believe in and must fight for.


It's like they're saying no such movement existed prior to Bernie Sanders running. Bullshit!!!

[caquillo]

10. Yeah, I was gonna say

Hillary, for one, has advocated most of those things, well before this year.

Methinks Sanders wants to desperately be a part of history. His statement last night about how history will view him and his so-called revolution confirmed to me that he has delusions of grandeur. A legend in his own mind.

Perhaps that's one reason why he may resent Hillary. She's arguably the most accomplished woman in US history (First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State), and now she has made history as the first female candidate of a major political party. When she wins in November, that will definitely seal the deal, especially since a female among males usually stands out of the crowd. In short, Hillary will be remembered for decades to come, and she has the potential to be better than her husband -- thanks in part to changing times and hopefully a Democratic majority in both Houses of Congress. In other words, she'd be able to accomplish much more.

11. one interesting thing is that women get excluded from history

a female among males usually stands out of the crowd--seems like it would work, but I disagree because we tend to be written out of history, or minimized, or later have our works attributed to men. I did a paper related to that for my women's studies class long, long ago. Since there are so many female historians now it might not be such an issue. Time will tell. Hope that wasn't annoying just wanted to share my thoughts.

18. I would be thanking Hillary for those things.

They were all part of her platform before Bernie had his first stadium concert.

[MADem]

3. After his "sore loser" address, I won't be signing that either.

Is this Tester's or Schumer's idea, I wonder?

Sanders needs to go back to work if he wants to be taken seriously, not pontificating from afar. He has a job for which he receives a government paycheck. Congress IS in session. The primaries are OVER.

He can't be Kuciniching any longer--time to go back to work.

4. Coddling must continue, from above and below!

Everyone tell BS he's awesome and he did awesome and he's on "the path" and will be in History's Chapter on The Yuge Revolution.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. Yup. Democrats never had a single idea before him. He's the one.

In the coming Utopia, they will have statues for birds to uh . . . sit on, in parks of him.

Little children will sing his name.

[Cha]

15. Wonder how many replies they get? Hope they get the response or lack of it

that BS deserves.

[Loki]

5. Thanks, but no thanks.

[Maru Kitteh]

6. I'd be happy to sign a "You can go now" card.

I'm not massaging his poor widdle feels about losing.

Not with the way he's behaving. It's one of the principles of child-rearing and dealing with errant behaviors, never reward negative behavior.

[Cha]

21. lol Exactly.. child rearing 101.

[SaschaHM]

7. "The Democrats send their regards"

That's the only think I would have wrote.

[shenmue]

9. Me too

Le what?

[NastyRiffraff]

12. I got it too

and it enraged me. Of course I didn't sign it. They act like Bernie invented those issues.

[Cha]

16. I didn't even read it.. I just saw.. "thank you to BS" and promptly deleted it. meh

[BlueMTexpat]

13. I got it too

and deleted it.

It's basically just another fund-raising email. I didn't take it too seriously.

[Cha]

14. I just saw that.. and deleted it.

lol.. cold day in hell before I thank him.

Maybe after he apologized for Demonizing Hillary and her supporters and Dissing my President Obama for months on end.

And owning up to all the bullshit.. I would see about it.

[eastwestdem]

17. That seems like a waste of their donor list. I'm sure it won't mean anything to Sanders. nt

[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.

[Maru Kitteh]

22. "Thank you for using your platform with young people to advance a silly, reductive narrative

Actually your whole post.

[Cha]

31. Wasn't that briiliant?! I just put in my journal.. it's perfect.

I'm so glad I saw it!

[Cha]

30. Brilliant Bryan, Thank you! I'm puting that in my journal..

20. It's a trap!

[Maru Kitteh]

23. They're probably fishing to see who will be willing to pay off his campaign debt

After he spent his "basement tape" moment crowing about how poverty-stricken, disabled, poor elderly on SS, and people on unemployment sent him their money; and considering how proud he was of that even though he used it for a quickie vacay to Rome/publicity stunt with the family and friends in tow - he can look elsewhere. Let his kids cough up some more of their lunch money.

[Cha]

24. And, lobster on the menu.. that was a shame.

[Maru Kitteh]

25. Take a Roman holiday and then brag later that you collected that money from poor people?

That's certainly not how I was raised.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the very epitome, the textbook definition of ENTITLED.

[Cha]

27. The very deinition of obtuse, also. All that money wasted on ads and rock star rallies

hating on the DNC and Hillary.. and the quick trip to Rome in search of the Pope.. and he brags about how poor people gave him his money?

He should have used his own money on his big showy stunt that was a bust.

[Maru Kitteh]

26. On another note . . .

Dammit Cha, now I'm hungry.

And I don't even eat lobster.

[Cha]

28. The power of suggestion..

Food!



Yeah, me too.

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Yes please! Beautiful photo.

Looks so refreshing!

[NastyRiffraff]

37. I eat lobster!

And now I want some! With lots of drawn butter. With beer.

[underthematrix]

32. Yes. I received an email.

I thought it was a nice idea but I didn't respond

[NNadir]

33. Worse than that. I get Change.org emails requesting me to send the guy money.

Actually, I get all kinds of emails from that organization requesting me to support very questionable stuff.

Sanders no longer makes me angry though; he just bores me.

[greatauntoftriplets]

36. I got it.

Immediately deleted it while rolling my eyes.
