    He is aware that he lost right, by every conceivable measure? He does know that?

      He does, but he wants to push the democratic party to the left.

      The longer he keeps it up, the more he just looks like a tool who couldn’t handle losing.

    You want a political revolution, Bernie? Go back to Congress and do some fucking work.

    I liked you. I really did. But you need a practical plan instead of vague arguments about a sea change.

      He really is not an especially effective Senator. He hasn’t been will to do the work. He’s been the novelty Senator.

      I like lots of his ideas, I just have nonidea how he’d do them. Or that he was going to be willing to do anything to get the Congress he’d need to them.

      And the hypocrisy the super delegates and complete clueless with the Tri Caucuses.

      Those vague statements are necessary because a general change of attitude towards social and economic issues is necessary before legislation can be passed.

    We interrupt this program to announce that Britain has, indeed, exited the EU.

      Yeah, watching the GBP down ~12% vs the dollar/euro, the DJIA futures down ~600 points, and god knows what the fuck the London markets are going to do, and I’m not sure I want to be buying into Bernie’s “political revolution” anytime soon...

      I may be optimistic, here, but the pound dropping was pretty much to be expected, and quite possibly temporary. At any rate, it’s done.

    I find this attitude of treating him as a ranting lunatic pretty disturbing. Are you really that goddamn excited to vote for the umpteenth center-right neoliberal the Democrats have trotted out and said was a progressive?

      This sort of wrong-headed lesser-evilism will assure continued control of the government by the monied interests (private prisons, finance industry, the MIC) that you claim to despise. Are you really ok with that? By treating people who want to actually do something about it as kooks, you’re implicitly accepting the situation as is.

      (Neo)liberals are just as bad as conservatives. They don’t want any real change, in fact they’re perfectly happy with the status quo.

    Where do we go from here

    now that all other children are growin’ up
    And how do we spend our lives if there’s no-one to lend us a hand

    I don’t wanna live here no more, I don’t wanna stay
    Ain’t gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away

    Oh Bernie, whatever. Nobody cares any more except maybe reddit, which is to say, I repeat myself, nobody cares.

    HOWEVER: you rock my world with the Buffy song video posting! Sigh...those were the days...might have to watch that again tonight.

      Also, I am wondering, what does a grumpy old lady have to do around here to get ungreyed? Do I need to be nicer? Because in that case, well, that’s probably not going to happen. But for somebody who’s out of estrogen and whose joints predict the weather, I really try to be a decent human being most of the time.

      You’re on the right track by posting like a politically unsophisticated, privileged millennial and giving a dismissive eyeroll to the only candidate with a halfway progressive agenda. I’m sure you’ll be out of the greys in no time.

    This just furthers my “Hillary Clinton is Lisa Simpson, Bernie Sanders is Abe Simpson, and Donald Trump is Mr. Burns” theory.

    (Though if you had told me that Chris Christie of all people would be Mr. Smithers, I’d have laughed at you.)

      No. Hillary is a condescending brainiac who is disliked by quite a few people, but especially older white men. If that doesn’t describe Lisa Simpson, I don’t know what does.

    why is Gawker Media shitting on Bernie? did I miss something? did we all go from openly acknowledging that Trump is a racist maniac, Hillary is a war mongering oligarch, and Bernie is an honest dude with a long track record, to just straight mocking him for believing in his campaign?

      Because he stopped being a honest dude awhile ago. It’s become about ego and his super delegate hypocrisy was the last straw for lots of people.

      He talked alot about a political revolution, but didn’t seem to be willing to do the kinds of things that would make that happen like campaigning in downticket races.

      He had a weak record of working with other Members of Congress when he was one and no plan to help elect a different Congress.

      It’s not that lots of us love Clinton, it’s just that Bernie started to seem like they guy in your poli sci class who talked about what should be, but couldn’t explain how you’d get there.
