Democratic senators filibustered for 14+ hours in order to convince the stupid Repukes that it's okay to have some restrictions on the Second Amendment.

No, one does not automatically endorse after a campaign
Submitted by bondibox on Fri, 06/17/2016 - 10:09amHillary wants to have her cake and eat it too. Let's recap the primary season… there was the Iowa debacle, sleazy shirt swapping in Nevada, the supposed sabotage of the Sanders North Carolina campaign, widespread disenfranchisement in Arizona, Billy electioneering at polling places in Mass and Illinois, and refusal to give NPP voters a crossover ballot in California. That's a whole lot of campaign shenanigans, and it all took place in states where Clinton had a strong showing.

Bernie Should Beg For Forgiveness!!!
Submitted by LaFeminista on Fri, 06/17/2016 - 4:12amHe should prostate himself before the almighty Democratic Party and plead to be pardoned for daring to fight for the weakest!
He should grovel before the anointed one for daring to take on the DNC!
He should donate a pound of his flesh to the Party grandees and pray to be absolved of all his sins!
He should abandon all hope like the rest of you oiks!
We won, so fuck you!
Oh and by the way
You should get on the bus in the name of #partyunity!
