    They certainly pretend that they believe in it when it's time to hand out cash, food and housing to the darkies they pander to.

    If your definition of bigotry means being overly partial to my own views then I'll accept being called a bigot. Most of my views tend to be correct so...

    Jim Webb was a Senator from Virginia but he was too far to the right for the progressive base. Then there was the other candidate who had to apologize for saying "All lives matter."

    It's not the being partial to them, it's the utter lack of critical evaluation.

    And you think that's impressive! That's the hilarious part!

    Just last week Bernie said again that he wasn't a Democrat, as he has for decades.

    So then why did he try and run as one?

    If you don't think that the way someone has treated an org is relevant to a discussion of how an org treats that person then I don't know what to tell you.

    Even laying aside whether the Dems and Bernie have had the same agenda, a party is more than an agenda.

    An honest politician - shocker!

    Bernie's record in Congress shows him walking both sides of the aisle to get things done. Which used to be the function of Congress once upon a time.

    He’s smart enough to recognize that rigid unyielding partisanship = stalemate.

    And he’s no Gary Johnson. :bergman:

    If this is the reason you didn't vote for him, and if this is the reason Wasserman-Shultz did what she did, you're both doing it wrong.

    Because Bernie knows something amply demonstrated right here on Wordforge: if you don't have a D or an R next to your name, you're a joke and a can't-possibly-win and might as well not exist at all.

    It's sad that we get stuck with Clinton and Trump when candidates with real, workable solutions get pushed to the sidelines. :(

    Can you blame him for deciding to leave after the foul shit the DNC pulled? The fact is he was a Dem last election and likely would have won if the DNC hadn't been packed with corrupt Hillary shills.

    You can keep trying to hand wave away and excuse the inexcusable but that sort of antidemocratic bull shit is not going to fly with a whole lot of the rank and file. The Democratic party badly, badly, badly needs reform to remove the institutional corruption within the system.

    You are a very arrogant person. If the party members vote for someone to be their nominee then that is the decision even if you think they are not pure enough or if they have not cowtowed to the elites enough. When those elite s break the party's own bilaws as well as every precept of how a democratic group is supposed to be run then THAT is the fucking problem.

    Probably the same reason Trump ran as a Republican despite not giving one rat's ass about the moral baggage every other GOP candidate had to pay at least lip service to and being in the pocket of Big Business the same as every other so-called elitist liberal.

    Except they aren't - you routinely get ripped apart and disproved with logic and proof. Like clockwork. You're in serious denial.

    I think I've figured out what your problem is - you're uneducated white trash and don't have the skills or cognitive ability to wrap your head around something other than what you've been told in your shitty upbringing in the trailer park and church.

    As smart as you think you are, you're actually unable to grasp very basic concepts and socially inept to boot.

    Decide to leave makes it sound like he was once a member.

    He has been proudly independent for decades.

    So why did he decide to try and run as a Democrat?

    Exposure and better odds of winning. :shrug:

    As much as I want to see viable third parties, they're a pipe dream at this point.

    And as others have said, its besides the point. The people wanted Bernie and Trump. One party begrudgenly plugged their noses and listened to their base. The other...well, I would say they lost, but all of America lost there. :shrug:

    Doesn't it matter more what the Democratic voters wanted? If Bernie didn't represent the will of registered Democrats, why did he get so many primary votes?

    1) Why does a Democrat or Republican have higher odds of winning?

    2) What evidence do you have that more people wanted Bernie than wanted Hillary?

    What is your major malfunction? The law says anyone who registers with a party is a member. He did that last election ergo he is a member.

    You can keep claiming he is impure to your heart's content t but you are not the decider. Theoretically, the rank and file membership are the deciders through their free, fair, and open votes. The DNC, filled with corrupt Hillary shills, prevented said free, fair, and open democratic vote. That is the fucking problem you partisan excuse making shill.

    Is there ANYTHING you won't excuse or not accept in your warp partisan version of reality? Do you have any morals at all about a free, transparent, and fair democratic process?

    Well, since you do not understand and analogy about someone debasing himself and attempting to excuse criminal behavior as long as he thinks it benefits his side... How about another analogy?

    Is there any amount of shit he will not accept and happily slurp up as long as it is his "team" which shits it out on to the table in front of him? See, I, and many other people, actually want to hold my "side" accountable and think their actions should be mostly honorable. If their actions are so dishonorable that they not only dishonor themselves but also bring disrepute upon the group as a whole then those people need to be gone from positions of special trust or authority. This is called holding your own side accountable or not being a completely worthless piece of shit enabler.

    You should try it sometime.

    Jesus Christ are you truly this stupid and ignorant? Do you honestly expect us to believe you have no idea how the system is rigged by the two parties to prevent the rise of third parties?

    As for whither or not democratic party members preferred Bernie or Hillary... We will never know because the system was corruptly subverted and the democratic process was subverted. You keep saying that is just fine but this is going to harm the Democratic Party and it is going to be a continuous drag on the party if members feel the process is both rigged and illegitimate.

    Not that a partisan shill with a deeply flawed moral compass like yourself actually cares about the long term health or viability of either the party or the system. You are too busy slurping up shit and pretending it is prime beef or making excuses claiming that is what prime beef is supposed to taste like. The reality based people? They recognize shit when they see it.
