Bernie endorsed JoAnne Kloppenburg, so this isn't a matter of him refusing to play ball with anyone running on the Democratic ticket. Nonetheless, it's a serious issue, no matter what you think of Bernie versus Hillary on the issues. Bernie is basing a lot of his campaign not just on anti-Hillary sentiment, but on anti-Democratic-Party-establishment sentiment. That's fair enough, but like it or not, the Democratic Party is all we have to compete with Republicans.
Bernie has been asked before if, for example, he'd raise money for Democrats if he won the nomination, and he responded, "We'll see." That's really not going to cut it anymore. Bernie doesn't have to mindlessly support every Democrat on the ballot, but voters deserve to know what he'd do if he won the Democratic nomination. Would it be all Bernie all the time? Or does he become a fighter for all the down-ballot races Democrats need to win in order to pass all that revolutionary legislation we hear so much about?

And by that logic, the Democratic Party cannot be changed. Kloppenberg should have won, and it's a shame she didn't. But why don't you shake your head at Kloppenberg's inability to connect with a sizable and dynamic portion of the modern Democratic electorate? Blaming Sanders for bringing in voters that other Democrats are not seems counterproductive.
Here's the "whole" video of Bill Clinton with context. I agree with most of what he said prior to that. The Crime Bill may have had some good parts, but I still think rehabilitation is better than mass incarceration. Then again crime rates did fall. Still the long term problem around crime is economic opportunity.
I mean how many people even pay attention to State Supreme Court? I'm surprised they are even on the ballot tbh. The candidates probably don't have too much money for a widespread public relations campaign, so they probably just rely on down the ballot votes.

He was doing okay until the left field riff about Africa.

BLM do need to get it together though.
How has it gone from raising awareness on police brutality on social media, to heckling former presidents? 0 to 100 real quick

Like I said, they're a bunch of people who just want to feel morally superior. No real goals. This is the trend among "woke" blacks. Ranting with no real endgame (see that girl berating that white dude about wearing dreadlocks).
That Hillary video is so cute As a New Yorker, I know the frustration of those temperamental MetroCard machines. They've almost had me in tears at times tbh.
It's time for Hillary to put Bill back in campaign training and not let him speak again until the convention. He's just creating ALL of the wrong kind of sound bytes.
I swear, she'd defend bernie for killing someone!! Ahahaha
not too much sis. She knows that going against Hillary so hard would not be a good look for Bernie especially after Hillary never said that he wasn't qualified. She said she just wants them to go back to the "issues"
