Politics is the art of dealing. If you keep thinking in such asinine black and white views then everyone will always be a sellout to you.
And your attitude reminds one of the guy who gets a free pizza with enough hair on it to make a wig. But he's so focused on the fact that it's free, he don't even notice the hair and swallows it in one bite.
The DNC? Hair Pizza Supreme.
Why would that be the case?
I'm assuming that you're not asking why negotiation should take place, but why Bernie supporters will be doing the negotiating. Bernie and Hillary supporters agree on many things, but they disagree on some points. With legislative elections taking place in many states this year, I can't say for sure that this rift between establishment politics and other politics will end, and I think it won't. There are a lot of reasons why you might encounter "oddballs" over the course of the next four years. I think that the main talking point of dissenters at the convention is that the establishment has failed and that some politicians are willing to put special interest aside in order to better serve the people of their states and the US.
He hasn't sold out. He's working to change from within. He's worked over the entire Democratic platform and is now working on rearranging the Democratic primary process. Just because he's not in the news every day anymore doesn't mean he's not working and is sold out.
Some of us have trouble being spineless.
1. Change from within. Hillary Appointed DWS to be an "honorary chair" of her campaign. Hillary Chose Tim Caine as her VP. Hillary is making sure that her potential WH staff are all going to be Hillary insiders and supporters.
2. The re-arranging of the primary process. He agreed to have a committee to set up a committee to eventually discuss something about how the primary process will maybe eventually get changed. Do you see how that's circumlocution for nothing's going to change and it's a stalling tactic?
3. The platform can be and has been ignored in the past and it can be and will be ignored in the future.
Bernie lost and he lost hard. Not only that but he got hoodwinked and made himself look pathetic in the process by more of Hillary's obviously empty promises.
And some of us have trouble being brainless.
I can't help you with that unfortunately.
I cannot support a candidate who on one hand says they disagree with the policies of an opponent and then after getting beat says well now I support such behavior. I am sorry that is 2 faced and clearly a person who really doesn't stand up for what they believe in. That is the major problem with politicians today. They either don't believe in what the say and/or are not willing to stand up for what they believe. They are spineless and 2 faced. Sorry but the shoe fits.
It's not like I was thinking I could or even trying to sell you on voting for anything that isn't rabid right-wing pol so whatever point you are trying to make here is rather moot when it comes to Bernie Sanders.
What I have seen in the first two nights is the plan to pander for the black vote.
They better get busy, only two nights left and a whole lot of "other people" to cover. Hey Hillary, yoo hoo, remember us, hello.... hello.... anyone listening?
I hate her pick for veep. That kind of pissed me off. But the truth is, I didn't want her to pick Warren to that useless position. I want Warren as AG.
Bernie has done so much for the party and thanks to his working hard on the Democratic platform making it the most progressive in Democratic party history and also thanks to the wikileak emails of the DNC... Bernie may very well just have finally killed the remnants of that Goddamn DLC wing of the Democratic Party. All's it takes to pretty much finish it off at this point is for Debbie Wasserman Schultz to lose her primary and for Donna Brazille to also step down from the Democratic National Committee and into political oblivion where she belongs.
Bernie is going to get a HUGE say in who next takes over as head of the DNC. I like what he's done for the party. He's definitely changing it from within.
