The DNC did not sabotage Saint Bernie.

@BitFlipper And yet there are app. 20,000 DNC emails showing they did, including admission of such by the Chair. I don't think he's a saint (well, I don't think anyone's a saint) but I believe he's the antidote to the authoritarian predicament we find ourselves in.

@BitFlipper I know people who were delegates to the Convention and OH YES THEY DID!

@Lauren, @AnneWimsey I should know better than to challenge your deeply held beliefs.

I used to have a bumper sticker on my car that read, "I'm From the Elizabeth Warren Wing of the Democratic Party." Then Bernie Sanders announced his candidacy for president. Elizabeth Warren should have quickly endorsed Sanders. She didn't. She waited, she waited and she waited. She finally endorsed Hillary Clinton. So I lost all respect for Elizabeth Warren. Had she come out early and endorsed Sanders, she could have made a significant difference. I came to the conclusion that she is a fraud.

@BitFlipper I Knew delegates, and they were treated Shamefully the entire Convention....denied seating, especially together, because, "oops we opened your area to open seating"...every single day! Pat-down searches (because Bernie advocates violence????) every day for a proportion of his supporters Only. Random hang-up phone calls & door knocks every night? Coffee urns "empty" whenever a Bernie support asked for some? Yet magically back in business for a Hill supporterright behind them? Etc etc etc etc.....

@ToolGuy gee, I dunno...presenting ideas about OUR futures AS IF you thought of them sounds a lot like

1. Plagiarism
2. Lying crapola

She took every idea she has directly from Bernie! Go to YouTube & see him, for decades, talking about this, and what we need to do!

@ToolGuy

I think the point is that she abandoned Bernie to support Hillary, then went back to adopt those policies that he was fighting for, first! Had she been advocating for them consistently, then good for her. But, that's not the case and I believe that's Anne's point.

@Athena Thank You! Well said!

@ToolGuy I do not condemn her, I just hope we get a better candidate than a shrill person without any ideas of her own.

@ToolGuy uuuhh, Bernie on YouTube for 3 Decades, consistent, full of actual Facts (how refreshing!!!) And ideas that were ridiculed at the time, but he stuck to his guns

@ToolGuy

I don't trust her like I trust Bernie and I do question her sincerity. People with integrity have high integrity standards for others. I would never compromise my convictions for notoriety or money.. there have been opportunities to do so. Warren is playing the politician game, while Bernie doesn't have an ounce of that in him. He is authentic to the core.

I would forgive Warren if she apologized or acknowledged that she screwed over Bernie, but she has done no such thing. Could you imagine Bernie abandoning an AOC type of candidate to run with Hillary? Clinton sabotaged his candidacy and Bernie still supported her. Why? Because he knew that, despite everything, Trump would ruin America. I don't trust Warren now and there's no regret on her part to suggest I should.

@ToolGuy

I will take her over Trump any day.

@ToolGuy

None.

@Haemish1 so USA will reduce emissions from housing cars industry etc to zero .... super.

The current world population is about 7 billion ... an averaging of forecasts predicts this will grow to 10 billion by 2050 ....if you increase the population by 50% you accordingly increase demand for food, power, water, travel, etc. Without population control there is no possibility of controlling global warming, pollution by plastic and other waste, degradation of world resources, mass extinction of plant and animal species ..... all those things that keep well intentioned western idealist environmentalists awake at night

@ToolGuy Firstly - I am in England where much of our manufacturing industry has already moved to eastern Europe or China due to imposition of 'green' taxes and regulations.
When you say 'the rest of the world is acting' I think you are being unduly optimistic of the effectiveness of whatever actions are being introduced.
Some simple actions
fitting solar panels on most houses across the US would make a major difference to power generation extra insulation of housing for hot and cold areas of the country .. aircon and heating reduced
Simple, easily introduced relatively inexpensive changes with a decent payback period.....there must be many more examples

@ToolGuy some business leaders have stated that the high cost of electricity (green taxed and subsidised for public), and costs for dealing with waste have made manufacturing in the UK uncompetitive .. hence forced to move. (some have taken key members of their workforce abroad too.

@ToolGuy hope you are ok with the implications of that ... you just closed down the
chemicals industry, so no more fertiliser for farms and reduced food production
oil refineries - so no more using petrol or diesel engines
etc

@ToolGuy you can - but shutting down an industry and replacing it with another causes major social challenges.

@ToolGuy except for that part where she threw him under the bus in '16.....
