Video Replay - Sanders / Clinton Rally in Portsmouth, NH
Update: Rally took place at 11AM US East. Bernie's speech starts at 38 minute mark into the video.
Since no one else has put has put up a thread for this rally, I guess I've gotta do it. You bunch of Slackers. Hahhaha.
I hope they don't skip Bernie's "endorsement" IF it happens cause I really want to hear the phrasing. What is ole Bernie up to that sly silver fox?
Mount your Unicorns people. We're going for a ride. Hahahaha.
Edit: I should disclose, I will never vote for Hellery or Trump. No matter what Bernie has to say today.
Pay close attention to Bernie hand gestures and body language. Remember he is being held captive.
"Bernie or Bust" Many Sanders supporters say they won't be happy if he endorses Clinton. #Wbz pic.twitter.com/ALMzmy0wvR

Uh oh. Might be a Booing in store for Hellery on her big day.
Official banners and merchandising are for Hillary Clinton but 80% of the people is wearing #BernieSanders shirts. pic.twitter.com/vF0UJNkKOK

I'm hoping this is a tepid endorsement with caveats.
And by endorsing, it will give Bernie full legitimacy to criticize Hellery when she starts caving on issues like TPP.
Donnie The #ShitHole Douchebag. Fake Friend to the Working Class. Real Asshole.
How can she 'cave' when her delegates were instructed 2 obstruct
it from being in the Platform. She has already tipped her hand.

Agreed. The platform sux
That's why I want to hear how Bernie phrases this endorsement. I'm hoping this is not an endorsement in the traditional sense.

Follow the money. It's always about the the money.
I love this quote I saw on twitter or facebook or somewhere.
Re: TPP - This is her pledge
If Bernie is going to endorse her, he owes his millions
of supporters to not do so standing alongside Hillary where we have to see her. She repulses me. I can't stand to watch or listen to her.
He should be by himself and talk to his supporters and tell us why he chose to not keep his word and take his campaign to the convention.
If he does drop out today, one theory I have is people have convinced him that all the marches in Philly will be too dangerous, and if he drops out, less people will participate.
No, that's NOT it - he TRUSTS We The People
We know what is threatening and untrustworthy, and it ain't us.
'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
No, it will be the cops and Homeland security
and Bernie knows that.
I agree with that.
I have a very high opinion of Bernie Sanders. Unless proven otherwise, I will, as I have in the past, attribute a noble motive to any decision made by Senator Sanders. In my opinion, he has earned that. He is not Hillary Clinton or Mitch McConnell, whose motives are almost always suspect. Bernie is one of the few politicians I trust. At least for me, my "default position" is that Bernie acts with morality.
"Just call me Hillbilly Dem(exit)."

Please, please, please
Bernie, no "joined hands" raised in salute.
Please just save us that picture!
Please be MODERATE in your words. Say the least you have to say, attack Trump if you must, but PLEASE don't praise KorruptKillerKlinton or ask us to support her. Please, at least spare us that. Please.
Amen, Caerus.
If "we must stop Trump" is the upshot of Bernie's remarks, then I can live with that. I echo your sentiment....please, no joined hands, raised in triumph. If he feels that Trump is that much worse than her (if so, that's probably the only issue where Bernie and I part ways.) then make it anti-Trump, make it a tepid "Hillary is the best way to stop Trump". But the "raised hands" image that you conjured up is hard enough on my brain...I can't imagine having to look at the real thing.
"Just call me Hillbilly Dem(exit)."
-H/T to Wavey Davey
The problem with that
is he would just reinforce the lesser of two evils and you have nowhere to go visegrip that has brought us to this place. He knows that. Frankly, there is nothing Sanders could have said in support of Clinton that would not diminish my respect for him. That is not to say that I have lost all respect for him, just that when it came to the final push, he chickened out. This is the problem that has eviscerated the left- the ultimate bourgeois cowardice at taking a strong stand. So sad to see Bernie succomb to it.
How do we really know why, though
maybe the guy likes breathing? We don't know jack about "the Inside" because we aren't there...
Bullied him maybe? Went over to OccupyWallStreet Twitter
and saw this:
A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
Sanders Endorses Perpetual War, Surveillance State & Corruption
Not surprising. Black Agenda Report predicted this months ago. Senator Sanders just tried to herd millions of dissidents into the lap of the corporate state power structure. Perpetual War and Predatory Capitalism wins again.
I am disgusted by the whole performance.
Edited to remove unfair meme.
From the Light House.
I'm sure you'll be getting the whole nine yards.
Hurray for party unity!

First thought upon waking this morning is that today is THAT day
Sigh...
Thankfully, my second thought was about the hungry kitten who is always STARVING by the time I rouse, so off to get his food to him. He now has a full tummy and has spent 20 minutes running in delighted circles, so he's ready for his first nap.
My Dad died this year the day ahead of Super Tuesday (when we voted). It helped that I was able to see Bernie in town a couple days ahead of that while I was waiting for the news (he lived half a country away). My input, assistance and emotions have been anathema to the better part of his life. I believe there will be amends in whatever the afterworld is.
Today feels like another death is looming - of hope and fairness and of having someone understand the challenges of my situation in the abstract if not in particular... My heart is heavy. I am ashamed of how my country is behaving. We (collectively) are acting against our own best interests, and that of the world.
'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
Bernie has a hope too...
He's said from the beginning that this isn't about him, but us. "not me, us." If you all will allow me to speculate on the man's thoughts, He's hoping that we'll get out, get active and get involved. Many millions have but we have to continue to be that hope. It's up to us- Bernie will still be Bernie- he holds some serious cards still in the Senate and hopefully has traded up for more with this endorsement, whatever form it may take. I've been so torn since it became clearer that he would not be the nominee(still a path, however narrow, but it's been ever narrowing). Point being, we have to continue hoping for what he fought for- we have to be that hope.
PS lost my father earlier this year as well. Quite a year: so full of hope and yet sorrow at the same time.
trying to funnel people to clinton
undermines all of that.
And when it doesn't work
nobody can blame HIM for not trying.
Sure they will
The excuse of blaming third parties for a candidate's failures and losses is inherently irrational. Can't you come up with them off the top of your head? Here's a start: He waited too long. He damaged her too much during the primary. He didn't do enough to get his voters tout for Clinton.
Hope is the thing.
Yes, we must keep up hope. I hope that people who are disappointed that Bernie will most likely not be the nominee, that there was clear and open hanky-panky by the Hilary side in the process, and that Bernie will be working more or less with Clinton's people to assure it is not Trump on the throne, will remember that Bernie is still Bernie. He is not doing anything for nefarious reasons. He is pushing, reaching, arguing until the end for the Best he can wrest from the Party machine, he will continue the fight, he is a man of his word and he gave that word up front (not to run Independent, to be a "good" Democrat, etc.). Bernie has not abandoned us, the revolution, his principles. He is fighting as hard as possible and will do so until the day he leaves this earth. What each of us does is up to us.
My great sympathy and empathy for your loss Kurichan. I lost my father some years back, as well. My mother, now 87 years young, will most likely outlive us all (her grandmother lived to be 96). Best wishes to you.
Gotta fight Trump y'know.
We can't have Presidential candidates being rude or anything like that. Election fraud is totally kewl tho.

I edited the essay to state clearly, I ain't voting for Hellery or Trump.

Her whole campaign is based on Trump
I wonder how they're chosing who can attend.
Too bad there can't be everyone shouting Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.
Yes, typical Hellery rally
Small venue. Crowd of hand picked coolaid guzzlers, I'm sure.

Too many Bernie supporters will blind her
LSM - great graphic BUT the caption
She MAKES UP that she recognizes someone and does her open mouthed gurgling gasp of what is supposed to be a smile so she looks "friendly." Honest, it's her schtick, been doing it for years - SO phuquing fake, as is everything about her.
She has so many IMPORTANT flaws,
so many dangerous weaknesses as a potential president, and yet that gasping and gurgling giggle at fake friends who just so SHOCKINGLY show up at her appearances gets my goat. I feel shallow because that bothers me so much. It's like Bush's smirk. Agh. I can't stand to look at, or listen to, either of those people.

To answer your question, I'll complete the rallying cry....

'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
Well, she's already said that if elected,
her husband will be the one to fix the economy. She's offering us a way for her
co-presidenthusband to finish what he started.Well hell, she WAS honest about that, yes?
Maybe the one thing she has been honest about. Her Repugnant and neo-liberal friends can hardly fucking wait. Those banks are struggling again you know, they simply must be protected, what don't you peon's understand about that? American hegemony is the name of the game people, even if your country crumbles from within, we'll still be Murka after all....
The thought of having that woman as POTUS and having to see that face and hear that voice, I can't even stand to look at either of them anymore.
Only a fool lets someone else tell him who his enemy is. Assata Shakur
Bill Clinton *will* fix the economy
as in "that fight was fixed!" i.e. rigged.
Funny, I had a dream last night...
it was Hillary who stood up and ended her campaign in the best interest of the country. She spoke about the division, the forth coming investigations and even the impeachment hearings the republicans will surely bring against her. She said she was stepping down and asked all of her supporters to rally behind and support Senator Sanders, that he was the one who could bring true to change to our country. And then I woke up...
Back to the reality that Hillary Clinton wouldn't step down from what she thinks is "her turn". I tried so hard to go back to sleep and pick up that dream where I left off. No such luck. Reality overtook me. But it felt damn good while it lasted!

I need to have a toke of whatever it is you smoke before
going to bed. I'd love to have dreams like that.
On the other hand, maybe not. It must be a real kick to the nether regions to wake up and realize what the world is really gonna look like any given day.

CitizenofEarth, thanks for linking the live stream.
But, I just can't watch it. It's too heartbreaking and I'm sorry but I'm very mad at Bernie. He has betrayed me and millions of people who trusted him. I'm crying right now. Goddamit, I've been fooled again
I believe Bernie plays the best hand available
I have faith that he will squeeze every drop possible out of the situation. He plays dimensions of chess most of us never see. Who on earth could have come as far as he has this year? He amazes me. He is human. The people he loves are also human, and the mafia we're up against makes threats and carries them out. He is my hero come what may.
'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
Amen.
Yeah, what?
Phony promises? Platform rhetoric? Bernie is asking us to validate the very game that his campaign sought to dismantle.
I'm not mad at Bernie, but I won't be watching it either.
This will be the first time I have skipped one too.
But not because of Bernie, I just cannot stand to subject myself to her Royal Lowness any more than absolutely necessary.
Her voice is the equivalent of fingernails on the chalkboard that is my soul and if I want to watch lies uttered by sociopaths I will just watch some Stalin and Hitler Docs on the history channel.
Hillary, and the DNC can eat a bag for maggot infested offal that has been basking in a black bag in the summer sun.
They got nothing to offer me and the only thing I have to offer to them is my loathing and disgust.
(I'm trying to be tame. )
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
No you have not
we've all been hijacked, period. Why blame the guy who got cheated? He didn't do it.
I'm pissed that he won't stand up for it and put his life on the line if he has to, but the fact that he won't rather indicates exactly how bad things have gotten. Our government is completely fucked, and none of us has much time to cry about it at this point, if we're to fight anything. Otherwise, we might as well all just give up and stop paying attention at all.
And don't think I never wish I could do that. Life is too short for this bullshit, but I can't turn it off.
Maybe the Vendors Know Something We Don't
Vendor at NH rally confirms: First time selling Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton merchandise at same time.
Do you see what I see ?!
Oh man, I gotta have that Dead/Bernie Jersey

I couldn't image why they used a "skull"

because: GRASPING At STRAWs !
fyi The original stealie
Now you are part of the club.

Thanks for sharing that image OP!
Now, who has a link to where I can get mine? lol!

Found this the Bill McKibben wrote on Politico about today
Why Bernie’s Message Will Endure
Even as he leaves the stage after endorsing Hillary on Tuesday, Sanders has taught us the value of relentlessness.

"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
Well, the good news is
that Bernie should be on first, so we can watch what he has to say and then tune out and not have to watch Hillary. I can't imagine that Hillary would introduce Bernie, so it would have to be Bernie first, talking and then introducing Hillary: "And, now it is my honor to introduce Secretary Hillary Clinton, the Next President of the United States!!!!" Puke, blech, gag.
Official banners and
LOL. Welcome to your first #BernieSanders rally, Hillary!
Kisses to all of us who hurt today...

If I am this depressed just
hearing Bill McKibben, I probably won't be able to take Bernie speaking.
I don't want to watch, but, isn't that the same
outfit she wore for their first debate?
A little sartorial FU to Bernie?
Bill McKibben led off the rally
giving thanks to Bernie. Crowd is really rowdy. Not liking the mentions of Hellery. Hahahhaha.
Donnie The #ShitHole Douchebag. Fake Friend to the Working Class. Real Asshole.
Gawd, Jeanne Shaheen.
Haha. She says we need to elect Hellery
and crowd breaks into chants of Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.
Donnie The #ShitHole Douchebag. Fake Friend to the Working Class. Real Asshole.
laughing
and Shaheen, unabashedly, joins the clapping and saying
"That's right - clap Hillary! clap Hillary!"
while the crowd is drowning her out with:
"Bernie! CLAP Bernie! CLAP Bernie! CLAP
JS rah rahing for NATO. The gov before here
rattling sabers as well. Gawd.
A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
Didn't shaheen propose
Legislation to draft women?
Crowd is definitely rowdy.
I'm watching despite myself. Bernie signs making it on camera. People shouting for Bernie. I've even heard some "Never Hillary!"
So ... I feel a little better anyway.
Yells of "NO TPP!"
Aaaaaaaaannnnd ....
It's all about fucking Trump.
Nice campaign, Hillary.
Yep,
justed posted similar below. Should have reloaded the page first. :).
Shaheen is really going all out on scary, scary Trump.
oh, that is so boring and superfluous to me, so far /nt

blah, blah, blah...
How long do we have to listen to these people before Bernie comes on?
"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."--Napoleon
All of the speakers
sure are talking about Trump a lot. I guess Bernie will do the same. We'll see. It can't just be positive about Hillary. Have to talk about scary Trump. I think I just heard Shaheen say "He wants to spread nuclear weapons around the world." and "It's scary."
OMG Trump! is not a convincing campaign
n/t
HAHAHA!
Chants for Hillary overcome by chants for Bernie. Jeanne had to step in and add her voice.
Are they playing music over
the continual chants of "Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!"?
The people, united, will never be defeated.
They couldn't be more obvious.
That is exactly what they are doing. Insofar as I know, this has never happened before.
ABC, right? the least objective of all the openly biased networks. They've clearly been in the tank for Hillary from the beginning. Yet the support for Bernie is overwhelming.
Hopefully someone got what was really going on with their phone and we can hear it all on youtube or some such.
Shageen could be speaking Mandarin
She's not above gerrymandering.
You can tell she's only pandering.
And stifling the Bernie Sandering.
Even though it rhymes it still makes me want to vomit.
The people, united, will never be defeated.
don't forget "slandering"
