I don’t care if Sanders stays in the race and I know many of my friends in California are excited to cast their votes. But for me the issue is this: when every Clinton win is “rigged” you dismiss all those who voted for her and perpetuate this narrative that she has stolen the election. So when she does win the

For the life of me I will never understand how people can be too ignorant to see that committee that disqualified Sanders delegates also disqualified Clinton delegates. How did they miss that part? And that committee was staffed by an even split of Sanders and Clinton supporters and chaired by a Sanders supporter.

This whole country needs to sit down and take a fucking 9th grade Civics class

SHHH! The opinion polls show he will totes beat Trump more than she’ll beat Trump, and between that and the results of a bunch of small state caucuses and the last few contests where Clinton hasn’t spent any money against Sanders, they should totally ignore the will of the voters!

Oh. sorry had my BernieLogic chip

Bernie voters = college students who want their grade changed because they didn’t read the syllabus, or because they thought they did better, or they worked really hard and deserved a better grade, or because their GPA is important, dammit, and how dare you screw this up?

haha, no. Bernie ppl changed their reg to Ind right after registering, 8 HRC people weren’t seated either... really, get off your facebook feed and find some decent sources

Holy shit at your disingenuous headline choice. If I hadn’t read the piece I wouldn’t have known that the real story is Sanders Supporters Become Violent Over Perceived Disenfranchisement.

This is gross. Really fucking gross.

Yes. The rules that were adopted were the temporary convention rules that were issued weeks before the convention, not brand new rules that they came up with on the spot. My understanding is that they were arrived at by a committee that was split between HRC and Bernie supporters. But some Bernie supporters wanted to

She currently leads Sanders by just over 3 million votes (not counting Oregon and Kentucky, which vote today) according to Real Clear Politics. For reference’s sake, Obama beat Hillary by about 41,000 votes in 2008 if you don’t include Michigan. But what really matters is if you feel as if your side has more votes.

And for what it’s worth, I think Bernie and his followers are being grossly naïve about their ability to impact national policy, particularly when state and local houses are awash with red that will expertly shred his progressive agenda one bite at a time (and the progressives will stay home in 2018 like they always

This isn’t the first time Bernie supporters have acted like this and Bernie condoned it. Take a look at Hillary’s rally in Calif where Hillary supporters had to exit through a “wall of hate” and signs were yanked out of kids hands. They make Trump supporters look sane. It will get worse.

I like a lot of Bernie’s policy ideas. I wholeheartedly agree that the DNC does some shady shit. Here’s the thing tho:

But they weren’t wrong. It was a bunch of people who didn’t bother to learn the rules and therefore thought they were getting screwed.

“The vicious response has come as millions of new voters, many of whom felt excluded by establishment politicians, have flocked to the insurgent campaigns of Mr. Sanders and Mr. Trump.”

It’s like watching a temper tantrum. And fuck Weaver. That guy is such a complete wanker; it says a lot about Sanders judgment that he continues to let this guy be his spokesperson.

The Sanders supporters tried to steal those delegates fair and square, why is the system rigged against them?

Jesus Tittyfucking Christ, can we PLEASE get rid of this stupid caucus system? This is no way excuses the behavior mentioned above, but the entire caucus procedure is so baffling and idiotic that I can not fathom how it’s still a thing. It’s like the states that keep it are doing it like it’s a kitschy throwback that

Yes. If only there was a way for former rivals to unite behind the leading candidate and help bring their supporters in. I guess that won’t happen though, and it’s all her fault!

Berners have gone from simply being insufferable crybabies to having full-on toddler-style temper tantrums as well. That’ll bring people around to your way of thinking, geniuses.
