Has there been any call for accountability/investigations into potential violations found in DNC leak info?

I don't think I've seen one big time media person or politician demand investigation into some of this damning info found. Why does it seem no one even cares? This seems insane to me. The DNC may have committed crimes of some sort yet there's no outrage from our officials or the media.Seriously what hope do we have of ever cleaning up corruption when this happens and nothing is done? Why do I bother voting or paying attention when it just doesn't matter?

ActBlue is now spamming Bernie donors

Just got a spam from ActBlue containingThe DNC is about looking forward, together. It's about embracing a better future in which we all have a role, regardless of our sexual orientation, our gender, or our race.as part of the text. We specifically opted out of further e-mails after each donation.Who is responsible, Bernie's campaign or the ActBlue people ?SpamCop reports go to devnull so they are set up to reject spam reports.

Bernie Sanders conceded to Hillary Clinton, which is all the more reason that Bernie SHOULD be the nominee. We need a nominee who isn't running for personal gain and personal aspiration, but doing it for the greater good of our country. The nominee must be Bernie Sanders.

Anybody see this scene in Gladiator?Marcus Aurelius: Won't you accept this great honor that I have offered you?Maximus: With all my heart, no.Marcus Aurelius: Maximus, that is why it must be you.It got me thinking, it must be Bernie.

How the election was really rigged against Bernie Sanders.

Wikileaks has confirmed that Bernie Sanders was cheated out of the election...but how? How about this.....So we know Debbie Wasserman Schultz was the co-chair of Hillary's 2008 presidential run where she lost to Obama. So in order to lock down the nomination for 2016, Hillary had to get DWS in charge of the DNC and manipulate it from the inside.In order for this to work, they would not only have to get the DNC chair to step down, but recommend DWS for the position. The Clinton's would have to promise something to that person. Something more prestigious than being the head of the democratic party. So what would they get.....?According to http://ift.tt/2aoZozZ the person who stepped down and recommended DWS was non other than....Tim Kaine.

Senator Sanders, I have failed you and I am sorry.

Senator Sanders,As you said in your speech Monday night at the Convention, no one is more disappointed than you. When I heard that, I realized it was I owed you an apology. You see, Senator, I have come into the world of politics because of you and your campaign. I loved and breathed politics, probably to an unhealthy amount. (Just ask my girlfriend or Facebook friends.) But in doing so, it awake a passion in me to believe that together we can bring about the change America so depaarately needs.So I began phonebanking, donating, facebanking, sharing every article I could and being more vocal in political discussions. But I could've done more. I never canvassed. I stopped phonebanking after a while. I donated less and less. Gradually, I became a supporter from the sidelines and I have no good reason for that.I'm not naive enough to believe that I alone could have made a difference in the outcome of this election, but I do believe you deserved 110% from your supporters and I was not giving it to you.I don't know if you'll ever read this, I suspect not. But I hope you know you did everything you could, in my view, to win the nomination. While that did not happen, you have inspired me and countless others. I know that might not be enough, but it is a start.Thank you, sir, for continuing to be a shining beacon in a very dark and scary world. I hope you can forgive me for not putting as much effort as you did. I also hope that by the time I reach my 70s, I'm half the man you are.No matter what, you will always be my hero.I'm not sure if this post will be upvoted, downvoted, brigades by trolls, or deleted, but thank you everyone who reads it. I wanted to express my feelings and this community has given me a place to do that. The motivation this sub gives me is something unlike any other.Let's keep fighting, folks!

List Of Candidates Bernie Endorsed?

Over the course of the primary I was getting Bernie emails and in some of those emails, particularly in the last few months, he was endorsing candidates running for various offices around the country. Is there a full list of these Bernie endorsed candidates somewhere?

MODS, Please Read! A Great Outline for Moving Forward With r/SandersForPresident

Since my post in the future of r/SandersforPresident sub is completely buried and because I thought this was of utmost importance, I decided to post this here. I hope you won't decide to delete this since it's outside the sticky - it's definitely worth the effort and read.We could all take a lesson from one of the best moderated Bernie pages on Facebook, the 65,000 member strong, "Bernie Sanders Activists." This is the pinned post from one of their mods with an outline of their goals for the future. I'm not saying it should be identical - but it gives us an excellent example of how we should move forward.Jesse Chen - Bernie Sanders Activists Mod: BE ADVISED: Obviously, all of us are upset with the corruption, favoritism, bias, and nonsense of the primary and the convention process. This group will do its part to NOT let this movement disintegrate after all the work that went into bringing it together. So...(1) OUR GROUP's FUTURE - As we've said for months, this Facebook group will continue to stay focused on the Bernie movement through and BEYOND November. All the things that Bernie stands for STILL give us a solid foundation and reason for us to keep working together. Do not let the loss of the primary campaign cause you to stop fighting for Bernie's vision - that's exactly what the establishment is hoping for.(2) NO ENDORSEMENT - Please read this carefully. It is critical to stay together and not let the presidential race tear this movement apart. In the interest of movement unity, this FB group will NOT formally endorse or organize for any specific presidential candidate. We know that many disagree on who to vote for in November, and we don't want that disagreement to get in the way of what we can achieve as a movement through and beyond November.(3) MOVING FORWARD - Given that, we will work to focus our collective efforts on a set of strategic activities that can help perpetuate the movement itself, our shared ideas/vision/values/issues/etc., and create meaningful impact (e.g. getting Jill Stein on the debate stage). While some of this may involve the presidential race, 80% of it won't. For those new to politics, that may sound strange, but that's because there's far more to movements than presidential campaigns. More on this to come.(4) NO VIOLENCE - This group continues to have ZERO tolerance for the promotion of violence. Reported posts of violence and their authors will be removed by our great volunteers in Dept 2.(5) WHAT'S NEXT - We do have a strategic plan on the many ways we can move forward together (that do not empower Drumpf), and we invite all Bernie supporters in and beyond this FB group to consider it. An update will be out soon. In the mean time, please see Mike's posts regarding when you should ‪#‎DemExit‬ depending on your state (again, you can still vote for whomever you'd like in November).(6) BE PATIENT - Everyone is at a different stage of their own political r/evolution. Think before you fly off the handle at someone. And, remember... Our cause is just, our hearts are pure, and our vision is clear. We are battered, but not beaten. We know the future depends on what we choose to do right now - we can give up or we can get up and keep going. Wipe the tears from your eyes and the blood from your nose. Take some time to regroup if needed. And get back in the ring. Democracy is a fight that never ends, it's never won - we have to keep going. Not just in elections, but in between elections. https://youtu.be/iOmgD_aCSPM?t=252 As Bernie so effectively pointed out, we need to change our systems to serve the many instead of the few. That's our movement, and that's what we'll continue fighting for. Stay tuned.PS - We would not change the name of this Facebook group even if we could (FB won't allow it for groups over 5K members) so that we can honor the man who brought us all together.‪#‎StillSanders‬ #FeelTheBern ‪#‎NotMeUS‬ ‪#‎BeTheBern‬ ‪#‎TheStruggleContinues‬ ‪#‎hodor‬

DAE get the impression that unity was established a long time ago? Unity between the RNC and DNC?

The conspiracy theorist in me says that with the Tea Party taking over the show on the right the Elites in both Parties and Corporate Media have benefitted from the Trump show that has been created, "guaranteeing" a clinton victory which maintains the status quo and the corruption that is profitable.

Larry Sanders to TYT: Bernie will be the chair of a major committee in the senate (still unclear which).

I suppose we now know what's next for our beloved senator.

Many democrats keep telling me to be scared of Trump for acting like a fear mongering dictator. But I find that Clinton being propped up by greedy oligarchs to be equally as scary

Examples of what I keep hearing from democrats and Bernie supporters:"Is Clinton really as bad as Trump?""We have to keep Trump from winning!""Trump is scary! At least Clinton doesn't scare me..."I can certainly relate to the fear of a Trump presidency, but that fear can be equally applied to Clinton when you consider the country is actually sliding to an oligarchy as opposed to a dictatorship.http://ift.tt/1jb9RKY
