In retrospect the way Hillary handled her loss in 2008 will be viewed as historic; it set a precedent for how Democrats unify after a fiercely contested primary. Bernie himself also deserves enormous credit for following that example and turning this into a party tradition.

Best move Hillary made in 2008 no doubt. She would've had a much harder time of it now if she had done any less.
 
Well gotta say it's pretty amazing to live in the era not only to see the first african american president but now the first female president of the US.

We still have such a long long way to go.

The DNC just showed how to restore party unity. They let the Bernie supporters last night have their say. I teared up when Bernie called for vocal unity. He's a goddamn hero.
 
On my 18th birthday I cast my first vote in the American political process ever for Sanders.

Though I came to view some of his ideals in a more critical light, I can say that his fight was always for the better, and he's achieved much more than I expected.

Today I know that although my vote was officially thrown away as a result of acclimation, realistically it goes forth. This revolution had better not die in a fire, but burn for years.

I know I'm more encouraged by the progress.
 
I'm glad Sanders kept everything together.

I'm honestly really frustrated with many Sander's supporters, and really anybody who complained about him "selling out" when he endorsed Hilary.

A 74 year old Democratic Socialist Secular Jew got 45% of the popular vote in the primary of a major political party, has annoyed and pushed the Democrats to embrace a more progressive platform while integrating himself into it, altering its voting process with super delegates, and made/collaborated with the nominee address several issues not addressed before.

That's yuge. And ignoring the months of fuckery that happened because he only got 90% of what he was aiming for does a huge disservice to the contribution that his mere presence had on the Democrats.

You don't stay in politics at 74 without a damn good supply of patience.
 
Do these people even understand how the election process works? Bernie clearly has the balls, he just didn't have the votes. thats it. whoever said this needs to kill themselves.

Man, you had it until the end there. Then you just went off the deep end.
 
Who cares about what other fringe supporters say on other sites. Hopefully with this protest walkout. We don't get any commotion tonight and everything goes smoothly.

No need to run to other sites and see salty posts in order to feel vindicated. Just focus on one thing now. Refusing Donald Trump the position of Presidency.

Yeah that's not cool. At all. Seriously.

But you're right! It is a matter of actual votes, the finally tally taking place at this event.
 
Props to Bernie and the supporters that stand behind him in supporting the democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, in order to prevent what would be under a Trump presidency the reversal of the last 8 years of progress. And for those whose selfishness outweighs even the feelings of the one they supported to the end, that is those who are now fleeing the democratic party ... well, good riddance to them.

What was done before?
