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

Thanks, dkmich,
I didn't know the 125 was a future amount.
and it's exactly the wrong move
What's next, making K-12 'free' only for those making 85K or less? Social security? Damn!
“The first duty of a man is to think for himself”
And, out of curiosity,
what exactly does "in the platform" mean?
Our village and town are so small that we don't have a village idiot or a town drunk. Nope, we all take turns.
RDS,
in the platform means they voted and put it in the Dem Party Platform. A document that outlines Dem. Party policies and values. It doesn't mean much though because it is not binding.
Understood!
In reality, "in the platform", is of no real value when you look at the Democrats of today.
Our village and town are so small that we don't have a village idiot or a town drunk. Nope, we all take turns.

He said every student regardless of household income. Not every student depending on how the means testing works out.
The platform isn't a compromise so much as it is neoliberal policy dressed up to look progressive.

The beginning of means testing.
Social Security comes next.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
he sets her up to be a completely hippocrite when she
does anything to the contrary of what he has proposed in his campaign. It's strategic and it's the only thing he can do now having run as a Democrat. I understand now why many have so vehemently opposed his decision to run as Democrat.
So, now I listen to Hillary and a couple of sentences is enough to know that this is not at all convincing. She will not win.
I don't think she cares a bit mimi.
"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."--Napoleon
If he wanted any more face time, he had to say it out loud
and I don't know--if I'm Bernie, I'm using the fuck out of her spotlight. Why not? He knows most of his supporters aren't going to vote for her.
Any media outlet that tries to tell you otherwise, now--by the way, they'll say it so many times you'll be holding the puke back lest you don't make it to the toilet--is full of shit.
So ummm, flush twice, it's appreciated when the shit is this heavy. The lies are going to come thick and fast. Smartest thing any of us can do right now, today, is turn it off and take a day away from the computer.
I still don't believe Hillary will win the Presidency
despite Sanders endorsement. I don't think we live in interesting times. I think life sucks big time in the US of A.
Sanders is a classy guy. I don't feel he has betrayed his supporters, I feel he saved his platform to continue to be the base to fight on. I actually think it's funny how he says that Hillary Clinton knows everything so well what he has said in his campaign, though we know the opposite is the case. I think he gets her on a bind with that.
I think I can skip her speech. And I know the rest of Sanders stump speech. Just because he starts every sentence now with "Hillary Clinton understands ..." doesn't mean we believe it, nor does it mean she gives a damn.
I guess this concludes my journey into news gathering. I am done.
I agree with all of this.
Sanders has not betrayed us.
And just because he endorsed doesn't mean I'm voting for Hillary.
Turned off the stream now because I can't stand her voice, nor her face. (While watching Bernie, I had a sticky note over her).
LOL n/t
Yes, he has betrayed his supporters. He promised to
take his campaign to the convention. He's said that over 100 times. He lied. That was a betrayal.
There are a lot of excited Bernie delegates trying to gather enough money to get to Philly to vote for Bernie. I read recently (don't have link) that there is no point for them waste their money to go to the convention to be part of the dog and pony coronation. I guess unless they just want to spend their time booing Debbie and Hillary.
I think this alone would make it worth the trip.
If nothing else it would serve to show that she does NOT have a mandate.
Everyone that is remotely aware, even her supporters though they would never admit it, knows they Gerrymandered if not outright stole this Nomination from Sanders.
At least I will be able to say, "Don't Blame me, I ain't a Democrat." when she pulls the garbage we all know she will pull. (At least after #DemExit day.)
Speaking of #DemExit, should we be talking about moving the date forward now?

Thanks for the suggestion!

Bernie mentioned his delegates
being at the convention. He mentioned the number, but I've forgotten. I wonder how many will actually show up now. Some are having money raised for them to attend, and many others are spending time and money to show up and support him. What is the point now?
There no longer is much point, is there?
I know that if I'd laid out the large to get there, I'd be very, very pissed right now.
Oh, well- best thing to ever happen for the Greens. All that needs to happen now is for the Repubs to flush Trump and draft someone electable, and HRC will go down in flames. The only possible good thing to come out of this election will be to get the Greens over 15%, so that they might some day become an actual viable party. Time to start playing a longer game...
Sorry, Bernie. It was fun, but #NotWithAFuckingBargepole - #DemExit. Peace out...
My partner ran as a Delegate.
She didn't make it (one of our good friends did), but was going anyway, to be part of the protests. Specifically, going with another friend who is going with a Press pass, to film things...and sphinxmoth would watch for what she couldn't see through a viewfinder. She is having major second thoughts about going, now.

I'm wondering the same thing.
Especially after the platform drafting sabotage by her stolen delegates. There can be no explanation for this but that he's doing it to protect his delegates' physical safety, what with the fence, the robocops, the recent shootings.
He's not endorsing. He's capitulating out of duress.
Change is the end result of all true learning. ~ Leo Buscaglia
I still don't think the people planning to protest will be cowed
I don't either
but I can tell you this much--whatever happens now with protestors, TPTB won't be able to blame Sanders for it.
Look at what happened to Occupy. They were very
peaceful.
Now they can show up to the convention wearing Green Party
jerseys. Hahaha.
The revolution moves on to its Green stage.

Speaking of "green",
I just moved my monthly recurring contribution to the Green Party!
Our village and town are so small that we don't have a village idiot or a town drunk. Nope, we all take turns.
"And a Hillary Clinton presidency"
Met with lots of BOOs and chants of "Bernie!'
Sounds like he is going to campaign
all around the country for her.
Would love to have him campaign for local candidates
as he does so, keeping the message alive and inspiring others to step up and take over dead shell of the Dem Party, or whatever else we develop to take it's place.
A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
He's lost his value in my opinion.
For instance, say he campaigns for Tim Canova, and Canova loses the primary to DWS. What then, Canova is supposed to endorse DWS so the republican candidate doesn't win. Bullshit.
I think he'll still have value in the Senate, but whatever he "wins," it will just be a small bone thrown to him.
Oh, yeah, he's going to fight the TPP and so is Elizabeth Warren. They think we're stupid. It's already got the 51 votes to pass, mostly all from republicans.
Well, he'd better pick smaller venues like a daycare
center out near the swings because he'll never get the amount of people to come out and see him now like he did before.
I think/know that Bernie understood a lot of things better than any other politician, but I think he is really underestimating how sick to death we are of the status quo and NO, we aren't afraid of Trump. We would rather see him win than Hillary. #NeverHillaryNotEver
Bernie saying in these stressful times we to be
united, and Hillary understands our diversity.... We become stronger .
No secret that we disagree on a number of issues. Significant coming together and we produced by far the most progressive platform in the history of the democratic party.
Really? Sad.
A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
He is right, we do indeed need to be united...
just not behind the Democrats.
Oh well, I guess the guy can't be totally right 100% of the time.
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
I don't begrudge him at all.
It was his choice to make. I simply refuse to follow. Bernie's not a sellout. Bernie's not a traitor. Bernie didn't throw us under the bus.
I don't understand what he thinks that he's going to get from her, but after everything that we've seen, including this past week's platform committee nonsense, I seriously doubt it'll happen. Remember, this was never about Bernie, at least not about only him. He was just the messenger. This was about his platform, his ideas, his proposals, and an attempt to ease the suffering of the American people.
People are understandably going to be upset, disappointed, angry, and whatever else. Don't give up. Don't fall in line. Don't let Hillary off the hook. Do what you feel is right in November and do everything you can in the future to ensure that Bernie's platform becomes a reality in the long term.
Agreed.
Bernie is and will always be a hero to me and many others. But this was never meant to be about hero worship. Not Me, Us, always.
And I still will never vote for her.

Exactly this, cloudy
But it still really sucks to see such a nice dream die. Or if not die, at least get deferred.
It's a bummer and I'm ridiculously emotional today.
Never Hillary.
I'm going to need a bigger pitchfork.
The people, united, will never be defeated.
The good news is that we are no longer
held hostage to "what secret plan does Bernie have up his sleeve." That's over. We're free to charge forward with Plan B. Which for me is back to the Green Party. If you haven't already, this might be a good day to switch. If we can get the Green Party up around 20% this time, that will be one strong message...and maybe a prelude to better things down the road. No more Dems.
"I’m a human being, first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.” —Malcolm X
I'm on it.
I'm currently registered NPP (No Party Preference) in California. On Registration Change Day I'll be changing that to Green. Jill Stein is my Presidential choice, now that Bernie has conceded to Hillary.
The people, united, will never be defeated.
As concerned as I am about the ballot counting
I can't vote for that asshole hairball, even though I waver from time to time on the "two party solution" because she must be kept out of office. Must. Be. Kept. OUT. of office. But Green is where I'm headed. And I may do it before August (Florida's primary for other offices) because I can't actually vote for Tim Canova and there's not much to hang around for beyond that anyway down here.
Bernie, it was never about you. But dammit, if I was you, I'd be all over Jill Stein's offer. You're nuts to walk away from that. You better lay it out in your next book what's happened here....
Ditto, I am not in Tim's district either....
I was gonna wait till after our primary as well but I already am considering just making my #Demexit today...
There are no progressive dems running in my area and no third party challengers so why bother showing up for their primary.
They can have their morally and ethically corrupt party all to themselves. It's always been theirs anyway and not mine, I just didn't know it until now.
So I owe Bernie a huge amount of respect for that. Easily enough to outweigh my disappointment at his decision.
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
The cam-'pain' slogan should be "Wronger To-Get-Her"
The people, united, will never be defeated.
That's it, I'm done.
Bernie lied to me when he told me he was going to take his campaign to the convention.
I'm still automatically donating to his campaign through ActBlue. That ends today.
I was going to wait to mail in the papers to change my party registration from Democrat to something else. Nope, I won't wait. That will go in the mail today.
Maybe at some point I'll get over this and come back to fight another day, but I doubt it. Why? Because it just doesn't mean anything anymore. I've been sold out so many times, I realize if I don't expect anything, I won't lose anything.
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done.
Shame on you, Bernie, for not keeping your word. As a matter of fact you said you wouldn't run as an Independent or Green Party. Why didn't you break your word here instead of now in this way and not going to the convention as a candidate?
And if we had to watch you break your word, why in the hell stand next to her.
Yes, I"m angry.
Good points. Wonder if we will ever no why he did this.
Will Jane Sanders pen a 'tell all' book soon?
A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
My guess
My guess is that he simply sees Trump as a worse evil. He may delude himself into thinking that he may get something as a result of his support for Clinton, but he will not get anything of substance. He got some concessions in the platform, but the platform is of little consequence. Clinton will not be constrained by it. It will not influence legislation. Look at his options. Run third party which will result in a loss and a likely Trump Presidency. Do nothing until after the convention vote--this would be my preference because I think it is important for his delegates and voters to have their votes registered-- and then endorse Clinton. Go full bore on election fraud--the corporate media would use this to brand him as dangerous and delusional. So all the choices are bad. The choice he has made would not be mine but I can, unfortunately, understand it.
it is Sanders' unfortunate luck that...
...Trump wound up being the Republican nominee. still, i wish he would have at least waited until after the Republican convention to see whether or not Trump will continue to be the nominee. there's so much backroom stuff going on to put a stop to him. would Sanders' have not endorsed if Trump isn't the nominee? we'll never know now. only thing left is to hope something disastrous for the Clinton campaign before November.
I totally understand, but that's what they WANT you to feel...
They want you to despair and think it's hopeless, and who knows, MAYBE it is.
Only thing that is certain as that it will indeed be hopeless if we (I am gonna use some prison slang here.) if we just willingly "Lay down and lick nuts." like a beaten dog...
Screw that, this dog bites and still has his teeth...
Be sad and disappointed, it's totally understandable, I know I sure am, but this isn't the first, or last, fight that I have lost but the only way to really lose is to give up the fight.
Please don't quit, for all our sakes, we need each other now more than ever.
"I used to vote Republican & Democrat, I also used to shit my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things." -Me
I agree and I will add this
I will not be changing my registration. I will vote green in this election and likely in future elections but I want to be able to vote in Democratic Primaries. There are down ballot races where there are good Democrats running.
The only reason I don't agree with this is because I would like
to provide them incentive them to join US in 2018 when we have our new party, or at least by 2020.
There is just no way we are going to slowly fix the Democratic party in the available time frame necessary to save our planet and ourselves.
This is no longer just about electing progressives for me, that is a goal, but so is destroying the duopoly and the Democratic Party.
They are a tourniquet stopping the flow of progressive change, and not by accident.
After this cycle I don't see how any real progressive would even consider running as a democrat anyway.
But, if by some miracle one does arise I can always switch back, but nothing would send a louder message that they are on the wrong path than seeing their registration numbers drop below 20%.
I encourage you to reconsider, because as I said before, you can always switch back and we really do need to send as many messages as we can as loudly as possible to those who seek to gain political office.
Of course, at the end of the day I don't begrudge you whatever decision you may make, I just wanted to offer my own humble suggestion.

The self-congratulatory "most progressive platform" is a farce.
And that's basically what he's saying has moved him toward endorsing her.
"Hillary Clinton will make an outstanding president..."
I feel like I've taken acid.
I gotta do something else, for the rest of the day, week. All hope now pinned on the delegates walking out of the convention? Not feeling very hopeful at this moment. Lots to re-evaluate.
Devastating.

She certainly will be outstanding like in when she gets impeached, takes us to war, screws over the working people. That WILL stand out very much.
Registration & Election Fraud
none if it matters.
I'd have a better chance voting in Libya.
Can't vote. Can't walk the streets safely without fear of gun nuts or violent "cops".
It's okay for my young daughter to be harassed, victimized and stalked because she's a second class citizen in this fine upstanding country of fools.
We have money to set up small towns as if they were under a police state. Yet the schools are begging for toilet paper.
We have to OBEY the very laws that the enforcers break. Disgusting that Affluenza is even a word....
Fuel to fire. This is how you radicalize people. Take away their voice. Tell them to shut up. Tell them that their experiences don't matter. Tell them that their words don't matter. And just feed them fear.
Then we can all wonder why people do what they do.
I tried to vote for you Bernie Sanders. I tried. Only this past week were we notified that our vote didn't count. But we are now registered as Democrats again.
Fuck that, I'm going to the Elections Office and telling them I am not a fucking Democrat.
We are simply on our own. Take care of our own. The American Government is against the people.

Sanders Endorses Clinton
July 12, 2016

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Declaring that “Hillary Clinton will make an outstanding president and I am proud to stand with her here today,” U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday endorsed the presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee.

Hillary the harridan
Pity Bill for now, pity everyone if she manages to steal the national election. The FBI director seems sure the law does not apply to her. It think it is a precedent, the law never seemed to bother the Clintons in the past.
She's talking a good story
But do you trust her?
I do not. If she does even 10% of what she's promising I'll be shocked.

she is the worst fairy tale story teller I came across
it's a tragic pain to watch Sanders facial expressions standing at her side. It's amazing how easy it is to spread lies and how easily they are believed to be the truth.
Bernie is pretty stone faced behind her
He knows she's doing what she does best -- Lying.

She's stopping a bit short of fighting for $15, I see
The $7 is too low, and we're raising it... but no commitment to a dollar amount. Lovely.
'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
I believe she's come out in favor of a raise
to $12/hr "incrementally" over the next several years. Sanders want to go immediately to $15/hr.
She maintains it has to be incremental to avoid a strain on "The Economy" (it would actually do the opposite). The problem with incrementalism is it has to continue incrementing. But, the wage has not been incremented in decades which leads me to believe it's too late for incremental changes and we have to catch-up now.
The people, united, will never be defeated.
But she didn't even reach for $12... n/t
'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
I wouldn't be too concerned about what Dems promise,
or say that they will propose, regarding raising the minimum wage.
Remember--Democrats didn't even pass the $10.10 minimum wage raise that they campaigned on several years ago.
And that was when they held the White House and either one, or both chambers. (I'd have to rewatch the Harkin video, since it's been almost two years since he was interviewed about this on C-Span.)
IMO, this plank means very little, to nothing--if we go by their past history.

I know people don't want to hear this...
...but a Hillary Clinton presidency is not the end of the world. For that matter, neither is a Donald Trump presidency. What both of them represent is yet another four years of nothing good getting done. I realize that it's election season, and I've been through enough of them to know that the heated and hyperventilated rhetoric will rise to a crescendo, the votes will be (mostly) cast and (most likely not properly) counted, a "winner" will be declared, and then things will go back to exactly the way they were for a few months, until the next campaign starts. Lather, rinse, repeat. Every single election I've participated in has been dubbed, "THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME!!!" And I guess to an extent that is true, as participating in our little experiment in self-governance is truly important, and if enough people actually believed that and participated things might be different. But it hasn't ever really met the expectations of doom suggested by the rhetoric. Sure, what if Al Gore hadn't been a terrible campaigner and too cute by half by only asking for "Democratic" counties to be recounted instead of the entire state? Would 9/11 have never happened? I think it would have, as it had been planned for years in advance, and I have no doubt Gore wouldn't have wanted to look like a giant pussy and would have taken us into a war of some kind. We also would have had four to eight more years of Neoliberalism, DLC, New "Democrat" bullshit. What if Howard Dean's campaign hadn't been sandbagged by the aforementioned Neoliberalism, DLC, New "Democrat" bullshit peddlers? What if John Kerry had done the expected and risen to the lowest of low bar expectations and actually beaten the worst President Ever? What if Barack Obama hadn't been yet another Neoliberalism, DLC, New "Democrat" bullshit clone? What if John Edwards hadn't cheated on his wife? What if, what if, what if. Somehow we (barely) survived, and somehow we will survive this election. Honestly, with climate change we're fucked no matter who wins the White House, even if Bernie Sanders had beaten the odds and a majorly-stacked deck. Life will miserably go on for the vast majority of the earth's inhabitants, same as it ever was...
What a bummer, eh? But no less so than the constant drumbeat of "THE END IS NEAR!!!!" courtesy of the impending Clinton presidency. So what I'm I going to do? Give up? I mean, I just said we're fucked either way, so why bother doing anything, right? No, I won't give up. I'll take this giant shit sandwich life has handed us and try to make the best of it. After all, the next presidential election is only four years and four months away. Time to get busy!
I want my two dollars!
I have to think that people are still wondering --
if anything has been gained in the process. It's not like they counted every vote or anything like that.
"the Democratic Party is not 'left'." -- Sabrina Salvati
I disagree. IMO it will be 4 more years of Neoliberal Rigging
of the system. The country is falling apart after the Bush and Obama years (both Neoliberal scum ). How long until we reach banana republic stage? Not long IMHO.

Yup. Bernie was not happy.
He had to eat some big time crow today.

The problem with being authentic
is that when you're inauthentic and forcing something, it really shows. I doubt that large crowds will turn out to see Bernie sell Hillary to the American people.

not sure one can forgive the nasty histories
Hillarists at TOP, particularly the unreconstructed PUMAs from 2008 because "ball-spiking"

I just got an email from ActBlue,
which has been handling donations to Bernie's campaign, and others. I unsubscribed. When asked why I was unsubscribing, I said "because the Democratic Party is hopelessly corrupt."

Thanks for the reminder
I saw the email titled "We're going to the convention" from a couple weeks ago. I unsuscribed with the reason "'We're going to the convention' was a lie".
Let's just vote for the right woman, not any woman ...
I am sorry, but female this and that doesn't cut it for me.
Jill Stein carries on Sanders platform. Which decent person would expect us to vote against the platform of Sanders, we supported so far? I don't think even Sanders in his right mind would expect it. So, just let us not do it. There is no reason to trust Hillary Clinton's foreign policies and any of her "little tweaking here an there" kind of approach.
Trump can still easily beat Hillary Clinton, running over her from the left. Which is just horrible to think about. But haven't similar things happen before in US history?
