It is a big disappointment !!!
Bernie Sanders, who had convinced many of his sincere beliefs and of his desire to make necessary changes to this country, has joined the enemy. Did he actually believe anything he said?

Instead of leading a political revolution, Bernie has become a political sellout. Rather than leading a populist movement against the corruption of established politics, he has reinvented himself as a Democratic Party hack. Moving from advocating for change, he is now supporting the Democratic party which has been in control for two thirds of the past quarter century and which is largely responsible for our nation's current distress.
Hillary describes her major accomplishment... and since there were no 'accomplishments', she just rambles on with a string of meaningless words !!!
As pointed out by Robert Scheer, "... suddenly, the very sentences that he formerly used to attack her now are the basis of his endorsement: “This election is about the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality that currently exists, the worst it has been since 1928. Hillary Clinton knows that something is very wrong when the very rich become richer, while many others are working longer hours for lower wages. She knows that it is absurd that middle-class Americans are paying an effective tax rate higher than hedge fund millionaires, and that there are corporations in this country making billions in profit while they pay no federal income tax in a given year because of loopholes their lobbyists created.”
Really, Bernie, is that something you whispered in her ear during the hug? Or did she glean that wisdom from John Podesta, her campaign manager, who was once one of those lobbyists, or her son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky, who was set up in the hedge fund business by Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who also paid Hillary so handsomely for her speeches?
Did Bernie suddenly forget all of that Wall Street money that funded Hillary’s campaign? Or is the prospect of Donald Trump as president so staggering that all restraints of fact and logic need now be abandoned?
Do the bipartisan policies of financial deregulation, lousy trade agreements and tax loopholes that defined the Clinton presidency have nothing to do with the massive resentment in this country over a rigged economy that has fueled both the Sanders and Trump campaigns?"

Was this part of the plan all along? Hillary had been the assumed candidate for the democratic party from the very beginning. Bernie was, in the beginning, hesitant as to whether he would run as a democrat or as an independent. Did the strategy involve a Bernie run for the presidency as a democrat, to entice the left side of the party, and then deliver the resultant spoils to Hillary?
Democrats won't put free college in its platform even while its candidate pretends to favor free college..
The democratic party continues to refuse to oppose fracking. The democratic party will not stand in opposition to the TPP even while Hillary pretends to be opposed. And now, Bernie has joined in an effort to defeat the American people.
At least Trump is outright against basic American principles, he doesn't bother to pretend. The democrats with deceit and deception pretend to favor American principles. Bernie's true stance is finally out in the open.

David Swanson wants you to abandon all hope for the Democratic Party. He wants you to vote for Jill Stein.
"I also want you to recognize that the system is totally corrupted. Cleaning the money out, fixing the communications system, opening up the ballots and debates, abolishing or democratizing the Senate, undoing gerrymandering, creating hand-counted paper ballots at each polling place and an election holiday, banning bribery, publicly funding elections, ending the electoral college and delegates and superdelegates, creating direct democracy through referenda, redistributing power to states and localities, and other necessary reforms are not going to be achieved because of whom we elect within the broken system so much as by what we do to bring pressure to bear on everyone working within it.
The reason to break free of both election obsession and lesser evilism is not that one evil candidate is or isn't worse than another evil candidate. The reason is to make ourselves independent minded throughout the year and to direct our focus toward policy-based popular campaigns for radical change rather than dissipating a movement into cheerleading for a particular set of Misrepresentatives.
The majority of the United States cannot stand either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. That majority needs to take a clear stand for a system of government that does not impose such people on us. Don't fund them. Don't work for them. Don't allow them to go outdoors without protest. Don't allow them to go indoors without protest. #NoTrumpNoClinton should be our position. And our agenda should be investing unprecedented, undreamed of quantities of energy and funding and time and creativity into building a movement to overwhelm whoever claims to be our public servants with our legitimate majority demands to try to save this planet, stop killing, share the wealth, and improve rather than degrade peoples lives with public resources."

Turning his back on 'his' revolution and the American people --- Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton for president at a rally in Portsmouth, N.H. (Andrew Harnik / AP)
THE FIX IS IN FOR HILLARY WHO OPENLY BREAKS THE LAW ---Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein, is transported in restraints to be arrested after a sit-in at a downtown Philadelphia bank over housing foreclosures Aug. 1 in Philadelphia... Jill Stein is not a part of the system of corruption... vote for Jill Stein for President
