Maybe we are overreacting to the endorsement.
Submitted by polkageist on Thu, 07/14/2016 - 3:02amI can do the math and I can analyze some of the political calculations in this campaign. It doesn't look good for us. However, I am not going to give up until Bernie gives up explicitly. I received an email from a friend today that had some information in it that I would like to share. Basically it says that Bernie is still in the race even if he has endorsed Clinton. He endorsed her but he did not concede. This difference is crucial.

And the system grinds on
Submitted by don mikulecky on Wed, 07/13/2016 - 6:54pmOnce again systems theory had the answer but we could not totally believe it. The system is very stable and it eats anything that tries to change that.
Bernie had to be beaten and he was. It really does not matter how it was done. At least he is still alive. He has made a choice which probably shows a deep understanding of the system and how it works.
Ralph Nader: "Bernie’s endorsement set Hillary up for ‘political betrayal"
Submitted by pfiore8 on Wed, 07/13/2016 - 5:14pmWhen I'd heard Bernie Sanders had endorsed Hillary Clinton, I listened to the speech but didn't think about it critically: like, i didn't look for some hidden meaning. I was disappointed, but not blown away by it. And I'm grateful to Senator Sanders for helping this movement evolve and gain credibility.
Good Public Policy is Probably a Very Bad Business Plan
Submitted by k9disc on Wed, 07/13/2016 - 4:57pmPublic Policy is not a business plan.
Public Policy is often at odds with the profit driven rigors and regiment of a business plan.
