Called it. Sellout POS
You're not very "anti establishment" when you announce your support for the most pro establishment, corrupt, bought politician in recent history. Sanders just endorsed someone who perfectly represents literally everything his platform claimed to run against for a year.
WowWhatAWhore
It's better to be close to your enemies
ferengischoolofbusiness
He must have at least 40 mill in our contributions . I wonder if he will send it back to us?
Khoshteep
anything to keep the nut out
SchmuseTigger
What the hell was he supposed to do? Say don't vote? Or vote for Trump? He did the only thing he could do and he ran as long as he could..
clutch2999
I bet a lot of Sanders supporters are angered by this. They're probably so mad, they're... feeling the bern.
shryleck
nigga gotta get paid goddamn chill
MaggieBaker
He doesn't have a choice. He held out for as long as he could and he made all the changes he could.
vicarious93
This is him being the hero we need. Just not the one we deserve. Learn from the past. If you split your party the other wins.
AZSERB
He would have been Vince Fostered if he didn't support her ..lol
savetom
He fought for reform concessions in the way out. I mean what choice did he have?
TheTopLeftHandCorner
Lol he has been good friends with Hilary his entire political career. All politicians are corrupt....Duh.
EmmaWatsonReference
Also known as "reform from within". But that's beyond the realm of possibility, right? I'm just being an apologist, right?
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
I mean it pretty much is. The problem is corruption, gerrymandering and an entrenched political class. They won't be 'reformed from within'.
somewealthyamerican
Haha +1
Rayblon
He specifically did it to influence the DNC platform, so yeah.
UGotSarged
And it fucking worked!
APairofDocks
Why would he want to get blamed for a Trump victory?
WhenYouOnlyHaveABeardandAWig
Hello this must be your first election..
Zhesion
What else could he do? Independent? He'd lose, and separate the vote so Trump would win. No thanks.
SmallButWhole
He could endorse nobody OR maybe even Stein. You're not very anti-system if you vote for the most pro-system candidate in recent history.
Lunakat504
there are more independents than democrats so i don't see it splitting the vote.
championofbreakfasts
Good Guy Sanders making everyone feel better about him not getting the nomination.
heynongman4pres
OP isn't even a Bernie supporter. Just a Trumpkin trolling to divide Democrats.
SmallButWhole
Not a Trumpkin either, silly pants
DidIShaveMyNutsForThis
Hey dickturd, I am not enthusiastic about it either but if you listened to both speeches and understand how much has changed youd understand
purplepandasquad
It saddens me. Sanders can still enact change, but people decide to hate him for "joining the enemy." 1/?
purplepandasquad
Just because he chose to back the candidate closest to his ideals does NOT mean he is a sellout, it just means he is trying to 2/?
purplepandasquad
change the system using its own rules. And i suppose this effort to find a peaceful solution and change people's minds is "selling out." 3/4
purplepandasquad
None of this matters, of course. Change isn't about change. It's about stubborn sectionalism now, just like every other problem. 4/4
iospace
In this post, @op conveniently glosses over the changes to the DNC platform brought about by Bernie.
Panda4hire
Precisely.
Lunakat504
That hillary doesn't have to follow through with.
miggy372
Lunakat at is right. A platform means almost nothing. You can campaign on anything. Hill can concede here and then flip after the nom
iospace
You do realize that the President doesn't write the laws. They can suggest them to congress, who then writes them.
aDefenseless9yearOldGirl
Lol campaign promises
Chefreign
Executive order and executive memorandum. Obama has set quite the precedent for expanding executive powers without congress.
Panda4hire
Many of those expansion to powers have been successfully challenged in the supreme and lesser courts.
Chefreign
Thankfully, yes.
iospace
And if Hillary is elected and something on the DNC platform reaches her desk, she'll sign it. But keep on thumping that narrative.
Lunakat504
She doesn't right the laws but she doesn't have to sign them into law if someone pays her off.
FelixTheCAT5e
umm... 2/3rd vote.
Lunakat504

bigcheeseguy
Wait, a politician lied? No way.
Kade974
In his defense they did have serval meetings with Hilary to agree upon certain things he wanted before endorsing her but that's politics.
BlaksDontMatter
shitlary +cuck what a team that is watch out normal mericans
heynongman4pres
What's with some conservatives and the term "cucks" - you guys have some serious repressed sexuality issues going on.
Panda4hire
He endorsed clinton only after the whole of the Democratic National convention embraced a more populist viewpoint. I'd call that a win.
ferengischoolofbusiness
VOTE FOR JILL STEIN
aguynamedDeadpool
Can we just revert to an actual democracy like Rome had
heynongman4pres
Yeah, we need a military man to run the country, someone with moral fiber who doesn't tolerate disorder! He'll never betray democracy!
MissMiaCulpa
Ahahaha, you know what happened to Rome, right?
Rybus
The closest Rome got they still had two Consuls who had ultimate authority and Senators tended to stay on for life.
Panda4hire
No thanks, I'd prefer not to have to vote on every little fucking issue.
Rybus
Congrats, you backed a career politician without questioning him and he played you like a fiddle like any other would.
SchmuseTigger
LOL
SmallButWhole
I've never been a Sanders supporter. Lol
FuckTheRepostPolice
Oh, I questioned the shit out of him. For the most part, the picture painted was...pleasant. This new move, total dick move lemme tell ya
Loo1
Better than Trump.
skipweasel
From this side of the Atlantic, that doesn't appear hard.
OriginaIPoster
You know who else is better than Trump? Gary Johnson
Loo1
I'd vote Green before I voted for that anarchist wannabe.

JESUS CHRIST, LIBERTARIANISM IS NOT ANARCHY FOR CHRIST'S SAKE
TheBitcherThreeMilfCunt
You keep telling yourself that
SmallButWhole
You become an agent of injustice when you do the things you claim to be against. He must not be as anti establishment as he claims to be
JerodH
He didn't sell out, he made an adult decision between two options. He didn't bitch and moan like a child how life is unfair
Panda4hire
Yup. He played the game, and lost and left with grace.
SmallButWhole
So you agree that he really was just like any politician this whole time?
cptkipard
He kept his word to support the nominee. So no.
miggy372
That seemed obvious the whole time. Wait, did you believe otherwise?
JerodH
You talk like politicians are evil. People are stupid, and politicians have to apeal to them. Here's a prime example (1/2)
SmallButWhole
You can be evil with good intent. That's what happens when you promote economic fallacy and idealism. The Great Leap Forward for example.
JerodH
People on Imgur are really bad at interrupting. Follow my thought and read the whole thing
SmallButWhole
Politicians aren't evil?????
heynongman4pres
In order to get something done w other politicians who disagree with you, you have to sacrifice at times. And ppl hate you for it
heynongman4pres
The game of politics is such that in order to get elected you have to make promises that cannot be fulfilled. I blame the media & the voters
tinytinyjerk
Are you being sarcastic?
SmallButWhole
They're hypocritical, lying, coercive assholes that wave shiny objects at morons through economic fallacy.
JerodH
Most Bernie supporters thought that we could have free college and universal healthcare with less than 10% increase in taxes (2/3)
JerodH
And most Trump supporters think that a wall is actually a cost-effective countermeasurement. Both of these ideas are idiotic (3/4)
JerodH
However, I prefer Bernie because I genuinely believe he knows what he's saying isn't 100% true. Trump believes every word (4/5)
Lefty2k59
Absolutely sold out. His supporters should not support the Clinton Crime Family.
SchmuseTigger
And instead support the Trump Crime Family. That makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE.
SchmuseTigger
Ah, that is your fear.
theaterofdreams
Bernie supporter here. I will be voting Trump simply to spite the DNC
Computar
Trump supporter here that really respected Bernie and his supporters. Come on over we aren't all as crazy as people think!
SchmuseTigger
So you where never a Bernie supporter.
theaterofdreams
Sure was :)
SignHerePlease
Then you're the real fucking idiot here.
theaterofdreams
Maybe, but I'm still voting for Donald :D
SignHerePlease
Just to spite the DNC? I hope your friends punch you when Trump wins.
theaterofdreams
Spoken like the tolerant liberals that made me leave the progressive label behind
LilSis061016
Seriously - how can anyone who supports Sanders agree with voting for Trump? He's terrifying.

bubblygrumpy
Good luck with that.
somewealthyamerican
Dems need a far left 3rd party person also, like the far right Gary Johnson. So the dems get there votes split also.
Chefreign
GJ is closer to the middle than far right.
OriginaIPoster
Yeah, the Libertarian Party is Center, hence why I support them. Trump is far right
heynongman4pres
No actually, on issues of gov't services they are further right than the Republicans.
bubblygrumpy
Well that's idiotic.
theaterofdreams
Not really. After Bernie, my views are pretty in line with Trumps anyway. More so than Hillary
Computar
Agreed. IMO they are closer in ideals than with Hillary
bubblygrumpy
Ew. You must be racist and sexist.
theaterofdreams
Thanks for the downvotes
heynongman4pres
So you'd rather help a candidate who doesn't share your policy goals to hurt Dems who mostly share your policy goals? Ok dude, your choice.
theaterofdreams
also populist, and between Hillary and Trump, Trump is the bigger populist, believe it or not. I also agree with Trump on immigration 1/2
heynongman4pres
What does the term "populist" mean to you?
theaterofdreams
I'm socially liberal on most issues. Gays, Abortion, etc. Most of the issues that won't be changed regardless of who is president. I'm 1/2
heynongman4pres
If Trump is elected, the GOP will control SCOTUS, the Presidency and both houses of Congress. Social issue policy definitely will change.
theaterofdreams
and believe we have a problem with Islam. So while I was a Bernie supporter for the important issues, now that he isn't possible, I will 1/2
heynongman4pres
The Democrats understand that there is an issue w/ radical Islam. They also understand that anti-Muslim rhetoric in the US makes it worse.
theaterofdreams
default to the candidate who I most align with
heynongman4pres
I mean like I said it's your vote so use it as you will, but I'm voting against Trump because he is temperamentally unfit to be president.
theaterofdreams
There is no evidence of that and even if there were, people overestimate the power presidents have
