All the Bernie Bros in my facebook feed are now talking about this lady.

Is there any chance she takes away enough votes from Hillary to actually do damage?

_________________

Not a chance, but neolibs are ready to blame her anyway.

_________________

No I don't think so. A lot of people don't know she is running and the "anyone but Hillary" slant of Sanders supporters will only serve to hurt and possibly kill his "revolution". Hillary will win even without the Support of Sanders followers in my opinion. If she does the there is no need to give credence to Sanders platform. He couldn't deliver his supporters.

It's possible in some states she could.

Most of Bernie's voters are going to vote for Hillary, but keep wishing against social democracy, I guess.

Social democracy really isn't a political movement. It's a political thought.

Which requires a movement to gain currency in contemporary American politics, yes.

It's strange to me that MANY Hillary supporters hate Bernie so much that they're still taking shots at him even after he lost and supported their candidate.

One would think there would be more vitriol toward Trump or others who are currently taking tons of shots at Hill-Dog. I just don't understand where the deep-rooted hatred comes from.

_________________

Didn't Sanders continue to take shots at Hillary long after he lost? Would you consider that to be "vitriolic"? What about his supporters? Aren't they continuing to bash away? That is what this thread was about or maybe I missed something.


As far as Sanders goes he really is an afterthought. I didn't really care if he endorsed Hillary or not. Trump us such a terrible nominee, easily the worst nominee that I have seen on either side in my lifetime. That accounts for either side too. It's truly a bipartisan opinion.

To elect him suggests much more about this country than it suggests about him.

I think the thread is about Jill Stein, actually.

Really? Must have missed that one.

It would be good to get her on the ballot and expand the debate. The Hillary people taking shot at Bernie are DiCaro types, who are in a constant state of victimhood.

To be honest Hillary rarely acknowledged Bernie Sanders during the campaign. She was far too presidential during the primaries. I wished that she'd engaged him more. She probably doesn't know that Jill Stein exists

_________________

Well, she probably should if she wants to keep pretending that she is inclusive of everyone's ideas. After all, the Democrats are theoretically supposed to be the "liberal" party.

Also, I wouldn't call it "Presidential" that she doesn't engage others. I think a better description would be "up in the polls due to name recognition and a massive fundraising campaign and don't want to engage anyone who might call me on my bullshit." Fortunately for her, even when she did, Sanders took it easy on her (except at the end).

_________________

Sanders took it easy on her as far as the Email stuff, but his implicit cries that her Wall Street ties were criminal echoed throughout the campaign.

Hillary rarely attacked him. Whatever the rationale was she left him alone. If he'd have been running in the Republican primary is there any doubt as how Trump would have treated him?

Hillary essentially ran a general election campaign during the primary season.
His extremely tacit endorsement is nothing more than "whistling past the graveyard" at this point.

_________________

Assuming that's true, are you a fan of that? Do you like a system where the nominee is essentially "anointed" a year before the general campaign even begins and isn't even challenged before the general? And do you think it was "out of bounds" for the only person who even came close to challenging her to bring up her ties to Wall Street?

_________________

I'm not in favor of a person being anointed before the process starts. For all we know the party may be rewarding Hillary for electing to "wait her turn". She could have run against Obama in 12 and if she'd chosen to do so he would have lost. It would have split the party and essentially handed the election to Romney.


I also think that the anointing of her was done by the Democratic party in their refusal to run anyone against her. Their should have been more competition for her. It makes for a better process. She can't be blamed because there was only one serious candidate. I think she has been though.

I also think that Sanders support is more of an anti Hillary vote than it is a vote for him. I think Democratic voters made the same mistake to a large extent with Obama. I'm all for being for the guy if that is their guy. Most people didn't know who Sanders was as late as 2 yrs ago and now regard him as a revolutionary? Not buying that one.

This Hilary in 12 is simply crazy. It would have been political suicide for Hilary, and she would have been destroyed for it in the media.

Well the title is Jill Stein after all. They were right in the other thread. You will pounce on any thread and make it your own.
