The DNC did the right thing by opposing Sanders

[NYcarbineer]

Wrong.

First of all the DNC is expected to be neutral. Second of all Bernie Sanders has been a de facto Democrat for 40 years.

Third of all Bernie Sanders, of all the players in this race so far, turns out to be the one with the most integrity on either side.

That's what makes those of us who support him even more right in the end.

We THOUGHT he had the most integrity.. But alas, he fooled everyone...

Who has more integrity?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Just for the record,

those parts of the emails where so and so suggested this or that be used against Sanders, the Jew/atheist stuff for example...

...where and when was it actually used?

hard to judge such a miniscule amount.. Call a physicist

Sanders is not really a Democrat. He's been an independent for nearly 40 years. He's a socialist, not a Democrat. The party did the right thing by opposing his bid to represent the Democratic party. The parties should oppose candidates who don't represent the party and/or who are counter to the party's best interests. The DNC did what the RNC should have done with Trump from the get-go.

Yes, Democracy is sooooo overrated.

Democracy gave Clinton nearly four million more votes than Sanders.

So you concede my original statement is correct. Why the mindless trolling in between then?

 

[blastoff]

The DNC did the right thing, huh?

Try explaining that to the really pissed off Bernie backers on the streets in Philly this morning. Also, I'm sure some words on how they can get back their Bernie money donations the DNC effectively flushed down the toilet. That might soothe some wounds.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Why is everyone acting like this is a profound revelation? The DNC thumb on the scale was common knowledge going back a year or more.

The never-Trump crowd got a comparable fucking by the RNC at the convention. Neither of these organizations has any more claim to the moral/ethical high ground than the other.

Didn't matter. There was virtually no way he could get the nomination with the Super_Delegate Mafioso. I still haven't figured that corrupt scam out. Do you pay to be one or are you paid to be one?

You haven't figured it out because there is no corrupt scam. The super delegate system has been in place since '84. They are not bound delegates. They can vote for whomever they wish. Historically they vote with the winner of the popular vote.
Sanders knows this. Part of the calculus for any candidate running is will they have the support of the delegates and the party.

You should now call Sanders supporters dummies and finish the process. He sure did well in a party that was opposed to him. Just that might tell you something.

Yeah. I've wondered if the DNC would have behaved differently had this been between Hillary and Biden, for example. But, I've always thought Wasserman Shultz wasn't the brightest bulb. She's certainly strident.

I think Bernie's level of support surprised everyone. But, imo, the reaction to Tim Kaine really illustrates how the Bernie "movement" is really not a democratic party movement. Kaine took a year off from law school to do a religious mission, then spent 14-17 years or something doing poverty law with a large black population, and then was mayor of Richmond .... and that's a bad place. The Bernie folks find he's not progressive enough. LOL

Let's all face it. Sanders was put on the democrat ballots to give Mrs. Tuzla a punching bag. His doing well was all his doing and those who are fed up with the same establishment corporate pick.

Your answer can be found in the 2008 primaries.

People have forgotten the PUMA's, the Hillary group in 2008 that was vowing not to vote for Obama after he won the nomination.

Their famous quote:

According to PUMA, "We [were] protesting the 2008 Presidential election because we refuse to support a nominee who was selected by the leadership rather than elected by the voters."[4]

The irony is unbearable, lol

They weren't pledged to anyone. They may say who they are supporting at that time but they are not bound. Look back at every election since ' 84 and you will see that they vote with the winner of the popular vote.
You keep crying about a " fix" but you don't seem to even understand how it works or provide any evidence of a fix.

I'd forgotten about the PUMAs and never understood what it meant till now. I thought they were like the Cougars but ones you didn't want to meet. (-:

In the end I think they mostly supported Obama ... who was a democrat after all. But I suspect some of the Bernie supporters will be more like the Greens who voted for Nader, and flipped the election, in 2000. I doubt all are really democrats. I don't see them joining the Trumpbots though.

 

[Fang]

So the party needs to ignore the will of the people? Are you insane? I'm a Trump supporter, but I'll take a socialist like Bernie in office over Hillary with the knowledge that votes count.

This "will of the people" line is BULLSHIT!! Parties pick their candidates, not "the people."

Which is why Bernie Sander and Donald Trump did so well. People want to know their votes count.

Nomination for dumbest post of the week.

On the contrary, the best on most honest post of this thread. This is the year of the outsider and for good reason. You should try paying attention and educating yourself.

You should educate yourself. Sanders was not hamstrung by anyone. He lost by nearly 4 million votes.

I don't give a shit. I'm with Trump. I just laugh at the corruption in the Dunce party. But go ahead and defend the rigged system they have.
