Nothing new for progressives. Extravagant health insurance policies are more important than jobs.

Yes, as the campaign focuses on California they don't need people in those other states.

Did you expect campaign staff to be working permanently for a temporary campaign?

Because Bernie has no super PACs or billionaire backers, no $350,000George Clooney dinners. He and his supporters knew it's an uphill fight.

You are aware that campaign jobs are not exactly considered permanent employment?

You are aware that following Tuesday's losses that Sander's has come to the realization that maintaining a 50 state campaign staff for a non-existent general election campaign is waste of time, money and energy?

So do you really want to pursue this line of argument??!??!

Resources are always moved to upcoming states as the primaries are done in other states. More lies from the big business media as usual. This campaign really shows how terrified they are of losing the money they get from a continued system of unlimited amounts of money in the political process.

I wonder why his workers weren't unionized ... isn't that supposed to be a Bernie talking point? If they did get unionized, what would the union position be on them getting laid off?

Just chuckling to myself.

But if they were a business, that excuse wouldnt fly, they'd be expected to just continue to pay employees to do nothing..

Actually, it would and does fly just fine, hence the concept known as "seasonal employment".

Are you done shedding crocodile tears for big business?
