I really hate when politicians - almost always democrats - talk about "hope". Hope is what they give you when they have no intention of giving you anything else.

DNC: Here's your candidate: a broken plate.
Voter: I don't want to vote for a broken plate.
DNC: If you don't vote for this broken plate, then you OBVIOUSLY want to give Trump a second term.
Voter: No, YOU want Trump to have a second term, by offering me a broken plate. Give me a REAL candidate that represents the issues that MOST AMERICANS support, like M4ALL and I'll vote for them.

That's it in a nutshell. The DNC wants you to vote for whomever or even whatever they put in front of you. Including a broken plate. And if you don't it's your fault.

NOPE! It's THEIR FAULT.

I didn't and don't want "Bernie". I want the ISSUES and POLICIES that Bernie was talking about. If they accuse you of making it about Bernie, REFUSE this FALSE SHAMING & DON'T CAPITULATE.

12:25 one thing I'm gonna disagree with Krystal here, Bernie did not "do his best" he did not do everything within his power to defeat his primary opponent, Joe Biden. So here we are.

Here's the problem with the lesser of the 2 evils.. it's still evil.

[dianelipartito]

I agree with Krystal, neoliberalism is the existential threat.

[frankbauerful]

I like this Bernie dude Obama is endorsing. Can we make him President?

[EstrellaViajeViajero]

Two sayings combat this easily:
"Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war"
"Voting for the lesser of two evils makes the world more evil"

"Hope" doesn't pay the rent. "Change" does.

[MauricioGonzalezFilms]

Obama to Biden: “I’m endorsing you!”
Biden : “For what?”

[roeuth]

If you support Bernie don’t vote for Joe Biden or Trump. Let those old geezers decide who they want the next horrible leader to be.

[jasondaley]

Her segments are literally the best thing in political media and it's not even close ... TELL THEM STOP BENDING THE KNEE!!

[Yanquetino]

So… we're supposed to vote for the "lesser of two Republicans" —just like in 2016? That'll work. Doh-oh.

[jaybarnes]

I remember that about Bill Clinton. I remember being confused about what was going on. Now I know. I'm not voting for Joe. They made me vote for Hillary. I am ashamed. I won't do it again.

[axson]

Yea I'll watch it all burn down before I ever vote for either of them. I want change, and I accept that suffering comes with that.

[pennyastalos]

I spent 30 years trying to get the Dems to do the right thing and look where we are. We don't have another 30 years

[Theabok]

Ridiculous statement you hear this:, Bernie has All of these ideas and qualities but he does not deserve the presidency according to Obama. It makes me angrier to exit the Dems party

[wreck-creation]

You are drowning.
Lifeguard Obama swims up
"You should have hope" He says, as he swims past you.

[esftracksydeomg]

I want all the progressives to protest the democrats, and vote third party as hard as you can. Go Green this election to teach the establishment a lesson
