Bernie is no longer annoying. He's now a downright "in your face" dictator. Give it a rest Bernie. You LOST. Losers don't dictate terms.

Doesn't sound like he's "dictating" anything. I think you're the one who needs to give it a rest.

Also he said that he likes Tim Kaine, so it's not like his standards are terribly high.

I'll give it a rest when Bernie does the honorable thing and exits the race. His time is over.

I get why people would be pissed about being Bernie's shifting rhetoric on superdelegates or get pissed if he came out with harsh attacks on Hillary right now, but idk why people freak out at him trying to use all of the leverage he has to push the party in what he believes to be an important direction.

It's not like he's twisting Hillary's arm until she gives HIM the VP slot or some cushy job with a limo or something.

Considering that he's not even a Democrat, that he just signed up to run for President, I think he has some major balls trying to do anything like he has been doing lately. If the majority was with him then the majority would have voted for him in greater numbers than they voted for Hillary, and Bernie would have more clout when trying to "push the party" in whatever direction he saw fit.

He's pushing his own agenda and I find it tiring at this point in the game.

Is it because you disagree with his agenda or because you don't like the idea of people pushing their agenda in this way?

Bernie has made his agenda very clear from the start. In fact, he's repeated the same thing over and over to infinity.....we get it. He's not a very well rounded kind of candidate and he's pushing something too extreme for my taste. Yes we need reforms and to equal out the playing field for all Americans, and that is happening in increments as we go along. I don't want a revolution, I want evolution in increments that work for the whole. That is called an evolution in consciousness and it's what is happening in spite of Bernie or Hillary or anyone else.

Bernie said his peace, he's made his position known. Now it's time to let Hillary take over and for him to fade out like the GOP candidates did when they saw they couldn't win.

What makes Bernie's stance so special?

Consider that my thread title is more along the line of something exaggerated that Trump might say to get attention! Trump can do no wrong whether he's right or wrong, so I thought it should work for me, too. ;-)

The real story here is that he's acknowledging she, not him, will be choosing a VP. Last time I checked he was still in "we can still win!" mode.

There's that, but he's still talking about convincing superdelegates to back his candidacy.

That'll be shut down pretty quickly if he's still saying it on June 8th. Patience.

Sigh. Not my strong point.
