If you blame Bernie or Bust, call it what it is

[Rebkeh]

Blaming the victim. See how far that goes. (I hope you don't)

If the democratic party fails to get votes, the onus is on them and nobody else.

1. I call Bernie or Bust what it is,PUMA.nt

[pinebox]

8. How can you be a PUMA when many are indy voters? O_o

[artislife]

32. Can you be a PUMA if you don't belong to the Party?

I could be a PUMA, I was a straight Democratic ticket, vote in every election kind of voter.


Not so firmly planted anymore.

[Downwinder]

2. Who created Bernie or Bust?

It is reminiscent of Nixon's dirty tricks.

[haikugal]

4. In what way?

What about the various and vociferous attacks on Sanders regarding everything from being white to not doing enough?

[Downwinder]

15. Berniebros and Bernie or Bust

are attacks on the Party not on the candidates.

[haikugal]

23. Berniebro's and all the rest were attacks on Bernie and his supporters.

It has gone on for months,

[desmiller]

26. Remember "Obama Boys"?

[blm]

41. libertyblitzkrieg….longtime ties to Ron and Rand Paul.

The BuyGoldandSilver Crowd.

3. I call it an immature temper tantrum and I refuse to give a shit. nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

5. Of course you do.

[hack89]

9. Having had two kids go through the toddler phase, I know exactly what the proper response is. nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

12. That's nice.

Wow...first pro-2nd-Am person here on my Ignore list. Shove your condescension, pal.

[hack89]

17. If the shoe fits. You didn't have to try it on for size you know. nt

[artislife]

33. And we recognize an authoritative stance when we see one. nt

6. Pppppppffffffffffffffffffffffffft - no it's privileged, arrogant, selfish, narcissistic and stupid

LGBT rights, equal pay, healthcare and abortion rights are fucking toast if we let Republicans very into office.

"Victims"? Of what? Not getting their fucking way?

I am not "blaming" them for anything except being assholes.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

28. Thanks...What I dont get are those who will be hurt the worst who are taking this approach.

Most Bernie or bust are of course people who wont be affected, which is why they are.

Like I dont get how the worst act of violence so far in a Trump rally is at the hands of a POC, what in the world is in his head?

shaking mine

[artislife]

34. Tell us besides Marriage Equality

how so much better it has been for us minorities (Latina) since 92. The party talks big, but it hasn't turned over the Patriot act, death by authorities hasn't gone down. Women's right over her body?

We look so much like them, they are not afraid of our politicians because we cave. Spineless!

[DanTex]

7. The victim? LOL. How are people who are sitting out the election and helping Trump

become president victims of anything?

[H2O Man]

10. In my opinion,

the "Bernie or Bust" bit distracts from the important point made in the OP. It is 100% Hillary Clinton's responsibility to earn each and every vote that she gets. No person owes her a vote.

[Rebkeh]

19. Thank you, sir

That is the point.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. It's the usual "blame the Left" meme common here when the moderates' candidate loses.

It's funny they don't blame the moderate Democrats who actually vote for Republicans.

[MohRokTah]

13. OFFS

[pdsimdars]

16. I say it's what any LOSING candidate does. . . blame their opponent.

If you can't get others to vote for you, then it is YOU who have failed. Every loser does so because people won't vote for them. There is nothing new here. Except they already seem to be looking for people to blame when they lose.

[pdsimdars]

18. They don't need to blame Bernie, they do a GREAT job at losing all by themselves

Hasn't the DNC LOST over 900 seats since DWS has been in charge.
Well, we found out what she excels at . . . LOSING.

[PeaceNikki]

20. 1163-844

[Ferd Berfel]

22. Point pdsimdars

Governors, State HOuse/Senate seats, Local seats.

But they will blame it on us.

[JoePhilly]

29. They also won the last 2 Presidential elections ... which is what we are talking about here.

[artislife]

35. Yup. nt

[Ferd Berfel]

21. Oh the Corporate Dems will definately Blame Bernie and his supporters

if she isn't anointed. After all, It's her turn

[Adrahil]

24. I will call it what it is: rank stupidity NT

[angstlessk]

25. I absoutly love Bernie, and hope he brings it out..

..I will vote for the Democrat...PROUDLY if it is Bernie...HOLDING NOSE if it is Hillary

[wendylaroux]

30. H better bring her supporters to heel,they hurt her,what if she has the nom?

mmmm hmmmmm they sure do.

[hrmjustin]

31. Come down off your cross.

We need the wood.

[artislife]

36. LOL!!

Sorry, we made need it to make handles for pitchforks.

[Kalidurga]

40. I prefer torches

Yeah I know they aren't reusable, but you can roast marshmallows after all the rioting is done.

[Broward]

37. Depressed turnout on the left could play a role in November.

If Hillary can't get out the vote, that's on her. The warning signs from the left are out there for all to see. So, those backing Hillary should know that this is a risk. Of course, it's their prerogative to cast a vote for Hillary in the primary, but it shouldn't come as a surprise if this affects the outcome in the general.

[blm]

38. My concern is that libertyblitzkrieg tracks back to longtime Rand Paul activists.

And that makes the sincerity of their position highly doubtful.

I mean, go ahead and write-in your choice when you feel strongly. I think that is good and right, well, unless you're in a purple state like me. BUT, trying to make a high-profile movement of it smacks of political opportunism by people who are NOT REALLY on the same side…..but, they play it on the internet.

[revbones]

39. Hillary supporters love to talk about how Bernie got fewer votes

and blame him. If she is the nominee, the hypocrisy will be hilarious in blaming us for her getting fewer votes.
