Look, Vermont has a big gun manufacturing presence int he Northeast. It drives jobs up there and recreational activity, I get why Bernie would against several gun control legislation, it would impact his constituents. The same constituents who voted him into office. It's a lose-lose situation for him.
Don't forget, Bernie has a Senate seat to secure if this presidential race doesn't work out.
It obviously is not Hillary's responsibility to let the Sanders team know about the extra delegate... I never implied that.
It's obviously the DNC's fault... I just wonder why they'd tell her FIRST and wait 5 weeks until they told Bernie.
And yeah, y'all can say its a measly 1 delegate, but in a race where these delegates matter, it's an important 1 delegate.
It totally did go viral. It was all over Facebook and Twitter.
What SHOULD'VE went viral was the NY Times (a more credible news source) fact checking that Daily News article.
The media bias is real.
Probably had something to do with Bernie suing them. I also think it's a little weird how they told her 5 weeks before him, I sometimes question the DNC. And no one implied you made the assumptions that she should've told Sanders and his team, it was others who said that (which really made no sense to begin with).
That's New York politics for you. Hard, negative, nasty, and unfair. Bernie better get used to that if he wants to win there.
Today is equal pay day and has no one said anything?
Hillary and Bernie both have been on Twitter tweeting about it and such. Hillary touched bases on it I'm sure.
Though after Bernie posted something on his twitter about the pay gap for genders, some women were going in on not one female listed in his top 10 highest paid staff member.
Of Sanders’s highest-paid employees, 10 are male and zero are female:
Rich Pelletier, Field Director, $120,897.68
Jeffrey Weaver, Campaign Manager, $118,745.92
Michael Briggs, Communications Director, $102,640.68

So apparently my kind message wasn't received yesterday by the poster who needed to read it the most.
You know who you are - if you keep reporting from this thread (you're responsible for about sixty percent of the reports currently), you will be banned from it.
The millions of dollars coming from fossil fuel lobbyists is harmful to the climate change movement. Is it not?
IMO that's one of the reasons behind what makes it "dirty."
Quote:
Reports confirm that Clinton’s biggest campaign bundlers have come from fossil fuel lobbyists, including Exxon’s own Theresa Fariello.
Two weeks ago, Hillary Clinton was asked by an activist if she would keep her word to act on climate by pledging to reject fossil fuel money, the former Secretary of State asserted that she is “so sick of the Sanders campaign lying” about her.
At the same campaign event last week, the former Senator of New York claimed that she supported New York’s statewide ban on fracking. Throughout her campaign, supportive super PACs have credited her with “selling fracking to the world” during her tenure as Secretary of State. ExxonMobil, who took an active step back from the Clinton Foundation in recent years and is under current investigation for their climate lies, is now the world’s biggest fracker.
The climate movement has pushed Clinton to oppose the Keystone XL pipeline, oppose toxic trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and suggest a moratorium for all fossil fuel extraction on public lands. There is a global fossil fuel resistance gearing up to Break Free from fossil fuels this May.
“The world is sending a clear signal to our institutions and politicians: the end of the fossil fuel era is here,” said Boeve. “This is an opportunity for the Clinton Foundation to prove themselves as climate leaders and join the movement in taking back our systems from the stranglehold of the fossil fuel industry.”
She needs to do the right thing...especially considering she's going to be the candidate.
I guess I shouldn't worry though, she'll change her stance on this soon enough.
A bad corporation makes a charitable donation and somehow that equates to "dirty money"? Is there a missing link here? Or did you just find an article and run with it?

Madam President Flip Flop
Where is the dirty money though? Dirty money implies that she's receiving money from mob bosses or some mess. It implies that she's receiving money that was made from illegal activities.
