In so many words, to shut up and stay out of it. That's when I knew he was going to be a major sell out and get very little done. And so it's been.

I'll bet he won't even ask for our help now. He's with the egomaniac wing of the party. On top of that he made it clear he doesn't think much of us progressives.

I see no reason this should be on Sanders in any way. Obama doesn't need Sanders to ask us.
