    And where are DWS supporters? There are none unless you count corporate interests...

    Srsly Dude, anyone backing DWS at this point is a fool. Being publicly shamed and fired wasn't enough.

    So you think the corporate interests are the ones casting votes in her district? I guess we'll see what happens on primary day, but the winds of change are not blowing for Canova right now, hence the strategists exiting.

    I'm not saying I would vote for her, but she's not my rep so it doesn't matter what I think. I'm just making the point that all of these outside interests have donated millions to Canova and it doesn't seem to be working. It's not that much different than the dude that tried to unseat Ryan last week. I think he lost by 50.
    Watching someone side with big corporate interests is kinda pathetic. You're either a robot or one of those corporate interests.
    You should go down to Florida and cast that stone. Call them robots or pathetic. See how influential you will be. . One day you will figure out that not everyone has to agree with you. Thus far Canova doesn't seem to be making a persuasive case.

    Trying to dissuade people who are truly in favor of a progressive movement from continuing to support that movement is like trying to persuade Pearl Jam fan that that band sucks. Good luck with that.

    Who is your straw man in this post?

    Interesting ... this is just another sample of your typical greedy politician, there all the same, just takes time and it usually surface's. Good to see he's reducing his carbon footprint...hahaha.

    I personally don't think that spending their own money on property makes him greedy. If any Bernie supporters are upset about them spending money they legitimately earned on property, then those Bernie supporters are idiots and I guess super naive. It never even occurred to me that Bernie wouldn't spend his own money like a normal person.

    What are you lol'ing about? They bought it with money Jane Sanders inherited. Did people think that being a democratic socialist means that you have to give all your money to charity, or what? I don't understand what the problem is.

    I don't think about how other people spend their money nearly so much as I'm interested in what they do. Bernie is not a communist. Don't sweat it.

    :lol: This should go in the Hillary thread.

    http://www.bostonherald.com/news/us_politics/2016/09/lukewarm_bernie_sanders_tries_to_flip_support_to_hillary_clinton
    LEBANON, N.H. — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders yesterday offered only lukewarm praise for one-time foe Hillary Clinton as he made his first campaign trail appearances for the Democratic nominee, focusing mostly on pushing his own progressive agenda as a new poll suggests Clinton is struggling to dominate the traditionally Democratic youth vote that had flocked to the runner-up.

    “I would hope and ask you all very much that we have got to do everything we can to make sure Hillary Clinton is elected president and (New Hampshire Gov.) Maggie Hassan is elected to the Senate — but … two days after the election, we have to go and continue the pressure, we’ve got to continue the grass-roots organization to make sure this country and this government works for all of us and not just the people on top,” Sanders said at a rally organized by the Clinton campaign, but dominated by his own primary campaign talking points.

    The rally took place three months after Sanders had vowed to work for the nominee’s election, and as a new Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll shows Clinton leading Trump among millennials, but only by about 7 points. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson is getting 13 percent of that generation’s vote.

    President Obama easily won the youth vote in 2012 over Mitt Romney, 60-37 percent.

    Many attendees here wore Sanders T-shirts and vowed never to vote for the Democratic nominee, despite his endorsement.

    “She’s pretty much a criminal,” said Natasha Bernet of Woodstock, Vt., rattling off scandals over Clinton’s handling of the Benghazi consulate attacks and her private email server. “It’s hard to believe anything that comes out of her mouth. … I’ll go wherever he goes, but not to her.”

    Some Sanders supporters pledged to write in his name in November or vote for Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and are still fuming from hacked emails that suggested the Democratic Party tried to boost Clinton in the primary.

    “I’m sick and tired of hearing Hillary people tell me if I don’t vote for her, I’m responsible for Donald Trump,” said John Lanza of Sharon, Vt. “Well, no, if Donald Trump becomes president it’s because the DNC was stupid and they nominated the wrong person.”

    Even the vendors here lamented the slow sales of Clinton/Kaine memorabilia yesterday. Scott Jefferson said he had sold 50 Sanders T-shirts marked half off, and not a single Clinton shirt before the rally started.

    Sanders didn’t mention Clinton’s running mate, Tim Kaine, at all during his 36-minute remarks in Lebanon and spent much of it continuing to push for key proposals of his Democratic primary campaign, including a $15 minimum wage and free public college and universities.

    On the Trans-Pacific Partnership — whose critics dogged Clinton during the DNC with protest signs on the convention floor against the trade deal — Sanders said Clinton is “on record as saying she opposes the TPP.”

    “We need Bernie!” a woman then yelled out.

    Sanders added that on every issue of importance, “Hillary Clinton is the superior candidate, hands down.”

    Sanders also held events in Manchester and Warner

    Honestly the best thing that can happen to this country is for Clinton to drop out. She's now behind in the polls. That's fucking scary!!

    She and trump are both polling incredibly high on untrustworthy and unfavorable ratings. That's not good for the American people. We deserve better!

    Let someone else step in and easily defeat trump.
    This is pathetic

    The DNC didn't nominate anyone until after the people voted. Why the fuck can't Bernie voters get that one little fact straight? Should the SD's have gone against the will of the people? That seems pretty fucking ironic. I don't have a shit about John Lanza but his comment is fucking ignorant.

    Let's not forget that Bernie's backers couldn't even unseat DWS with $3MM in outside money in a fucking local race. Nice job douchers. They are fucking political geniuses.
