Daily Caller:

People are furious that Bernie Sanders just endorsed Hillary Clinton.

 

Speaking to a crowd in New Hampshire Tuesday, the senator from Vermont thanked the 13 million people who voted for him during the primaries, but noted he didn’t secure enough delegates to win the nomination.

 

“It is not enough to win the nomination,” Sanders told the crowd. “Hillary Clinton goes into the convention with a lot more delegates. Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process. And I congratulate her.”

 

“She will be the Democratic nominee for president. I intend to do everything I can to make sure she is the next president of the United States.”

The end of Berniemania.

Bernie and Hillary: Why Not Join Forces?

A ghostly lesson from the Socialist past for Democratic party Sanders and the De

Dear Comrade Sanders:

 

I’m not being sardonic. Your talk of socialism has been the best part of your campaign, even if you have been less than skillful at drawing the line between your own democratic left and its antidemocratic cousins. You have pointed out that society is more than a collection of individuals, which is socialism’s ultimate instruction, and you have railed against the inequalities, which is the penultimate instruction; and you have gotten everyone’s attention. Your appreciation of socialism’s history in America ought to alert you to something, though.

 

A century ago, when your hero Eugene V. Debs was the Socialist Party’s perennial presidential candidate, a good many people supported him and the Socialist Party as a whole because they wanted big social reforms on behalf of the American working class, and they wanted those reforms to conform to the latest word in social science. Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats in those days were offering much along those lines. And so, people voted Socialist because politically they were homeless. Then times changed. Circa 1933 the Democrats began to entertain a modernizing impulse. And the Socialists were left with a decision to make: to remain immured in their own tiny political party? Or to take their place within the vast Democratic Party? A small Socialist minority decided to preserve the old party. http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/203687/bernie-and-hillary-join-forces
