When we don’t have to talk about Sanders anymore.

now for him not to.

My cat could do what he does there. And she’s the laziest cat ever born.

Seriously, you are right.

I hope there's not even a 1/100 chance that the election will be canceled. Then again, Trump could decide to outlaw the Democratic party, taking his cue from Putin.

Which is unlikely now.

At one point, that was likely.

a revolution against our own party from within, he can still attack it from within. As we saw not just in 2016, but ever since. This is a continuation, as is Russia's assistance.

Btw, anyone remember summer of 2016, when we were in battle with Repub-Russia for the future of our nation? Sanders had lost but used his presidential candidate pulpit to claim the Democratic Party was soooo corrupt that it needed to halt the national campaigns and instead focus inward to root out everything wrong with us and rebuild our party. We were the big national emergency that had to be addressed before anything good could be accomplished.

Whatever this man's agenda was and is, it is not about keeping Trump out of the presidency and saving progressive liberal government from those determined to destroy it.

I never got over this and never will...I am so happy Joe is the nominee and I won't be forced to vote for Sanders...and he needs to consider that there really isn't any revolution and never was.

He lost me then. I actually voted for him in the primaries and was shocked to see such petulant behavior from a man in his position. That was 2016. I have been warning everyone within a 50mi radius of me ever since that he is the worst snake oil salesman.

They view the Democratic Party - which they seek to represent - as their mortal enemy

And they rarely say anything negative about Russia.

knew a better term. I don't like that one, but "one way low self esteem can manifest" doesn't quite get the idea across.

But the flip summary of a basic difference between RW and LW radicals/extremists by an expert in political extremism does: That RWers hate everyone else, while LWers hate themselves.

As you're noting, we see this being acted out all the time.

Think about the left...let's start in 2000...Nader and the left mercilessly attacked Gore...Sarandon was a busy bee (piece of crap) and Bush won...we get United (which the left caused and still has the nerve to complain),two wars, 9-11, Katrina and economic debacle...the GOP also gets judges who are going to overturn Roe I think. Next up Kerry who is beaten up in the primary and abandoned by the left...Michael Moore going around begging for folks to vote for Kerry after he savaged him in the primary...and then 2016 where Stein took enough votes to elect Hillary in the blue wall states and we get Trump, terrible judges, babies in cages...list is too long and now millions are likely to die...so I am sick of the left/Greens who don't vote for us and enable bastards like Trump ...they helped him win just as much as Republicans did .

to take this all the way to the convention.

It's to try to blow up the "establishment". Look at the latest threads/posts from one of BS's more active supporters on DU. "All the way to the convention!" he wrote.

just have to hope we do it in spite of them...and never allow anyone but a Democrat to run as a Democrat again...and that includes Sanders in Vermont...he can run as an independent next time.

and hopefully over time his acting out will continue to enlighten voters.

We know that. Regardless of how he behaves or misbehaves.

And now millions of additional voters are moving to or returning Democrat to stop what's happening on the right. The kind who used to vote with us to keep extremism in check, before our national electorate was divided and conquered.

As for the small, dysfunctional fringe addicted to opposition to the Democratic Party, who flare eagerly with every lie and fake grievance thrown to them? The ones who cheered the attempt to illicitly steal the 2016 nomination and who promised this year to repeat 2016 in the GE? They love what they see of themselves in their leader.

Oh, well. Btw, the probability that our convention won't be a physical gathering they can act out at before dissipating has to be making some very unhappy.

There is a time to get over it. For him it should had been after the 2016 primary was over.

The "movement" is not about democracy, or decency, or common sense

And if he won't give it up really soon, he'll never get elected again. He's hurting the party acting like he is now.

This is all about feeding his ego, attempting to embarrass Biden and burning down the Democratic Party.

sanders not dropping out may help Biden. sanders keeps on losing primaries by large margins nnly strenghten's Joe's position https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/11/no-surprise-bernie-sanders-is-still-all-about-himself-never-party/

on the left and Trump on the right...but we can't make him get out
