Link to article on Bernie Bro

A link to Bernie Bros, which I thought that I had edited in a NPOV manner, was deleted. I think a short mention belongs on the page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:24, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. I have edited it for neutrality.Wukai (talk) 02:27, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

leaked DNC emails conspiracy theory

You can't put that in based on a bunch of opinion pieces in tabloids or clearly non-reliable sources like RT. The fact that *only* low quality, junk sources are talking about it is a huge red flag that this is not encyclopedic. If reliable mainstream sources pick it up - which they won't because if you actually read the damn emails there's nothing in'em, this is just a bunch of click bait - you can put it in.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:32, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another red flag: Sanders himself, or anyone associated with him, is actually saying this or backing this up in any way. It's just a bunch of trashy webpages + the Russian government propaganda channel.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:39, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Released Emails Suggest the D.N.C. Derided the Sanders Campaign. The New York Times, July 22, 2016; Emails released by Wikileaks raise questions of DNC's impartiality. CNN, July 22, 2016.--C.J. Griffin (talk) 04:51, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes these are better sources. But please don't misrepresent them. "Derided the Sanders Campaign" is a long way off from "colluded with the Clinton campaign". That's pretty POV and a bit dishonest.
(and that one email about his religious beliefs - it looks like it was just an offhand remark about ... nothing. Nobody every actually questioned Sanders about his religious beliefs). So please, no OR and observe DUE weight.Volunteer Marek (talk) 16:23, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Aftermath / Legacy

I think an "Aftermath" or "Legacy" section should be created noting some of Sanders' continuing goals as well as the creation of "Our Revolution" and the "Sanders Institute." I hope that's a reasonable suggestion. Dustin (talk) 08:26, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AfD results

Dane2007 recently closed an AfD on Bernie or Bust, with the result of merging with this article. Putting this here to solicit any thoughts on how the merger should proceed. TimothyJosephWood 12:17, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]


policy & race, racial support - American Indians

something needs to be included on Sander's positions and support in Native communities. Sanders gave unheard of support and inclusion towards native peoples. but as usual, "natives are forgot by americans thinking they are extinct or don't count" this is no small part of the notable points of his campaign. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:D6C1:3000:C11:7A1:C480:46B6 (talk) 19:22, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
