DNC off to a good start

[Blarg]

Yes it is. But then I made an actual choice based upon the question while you are still playing the independent with actually no relevant candidate.

How can you even type that you have issues with him being a sell out? You had Chris Christie's nuts so securely in your mouth that it took a fire station's worth of personnel manning the jaws of life to release just one of them so that you could make room for one of Trump's.

LOL, Thanks for the nightmare with that visual.

How can you compare the two? Christie lost a fair election to Trump by popular vote. The people have spoken, accept it and move on.  Bernie lost to Hillary/DNC thanks to THE rigged system that he preached about for months. The day he got vindication, the ultimate F.U. moment, he bends over and allows it to happen. Goes down without so much as a whimper.  What was done to him is criminal in any world other than the Clinton's.

He could have, without blaming Hillary for anything, continued his movement/Revolution and asked for a revote. Throw out all the rigged super-delegates and do it fair and square. Not going to happen, but he deserved the fair shot that he clamored for over the last year.

So you choose to vote irrelevant protest votes that are ignored.

Gallant.

You use the word irrelevant, I think voting the status quo over and over again is the epitome of irrelevant.  You have changed nothing.

[Blarg]

And you are accomplishing what?  No one is listening to the Jill Steins and Johnsons. So about the only thing you can do that makes a dent is vote against the Clinton machine and their rigged democratic party. Hold your nose and refuse them. 

[mtangelsfan]

I am accomplishing not being part of the status quo.  If just 20% of the voters would vote their conscience things would change but most people are pussies.

Hundreds of people descended on the Wells Fargo Center on Monday to find sweltering media tents and few spots for cold water or food. 

 

Attendees reported walking long distances — in some cases, nearly a mile — in 98-degree temperatures to get to the arena from the Uber pick-up and drop-off area.

 

Complaints of overcrowding, overheating and poor coordination by the DNC are escalating just as the party looks to contain the fallout from the resignation of its chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

You must have missed the post earlier where I said I preferred Hillary.

Just because Bernie gave in like that doesn't mean that Christie didn't jump on the FlipFlop Suck Up Express.

Bernie lost to Hillary because she received more votes than him, and was always going to receive more votes than him. Even without the Super Delegates he lost, by millions of votes. He lost badly in early primary voting states that didn't have a significant majority of white liberals. Iowa and New Hampshire were states that lined up very well for him. He did well in undemocratic caucus states...and received more pledged delegates than his percentage of vote total would actually dictate. He did better in states that were open, allowing non-Democrats to vote in the Democratic Primary. He did very poorly with core Democratic minority groups. Hell, most of those "emails" causing all the stirs occurred in May, after the primary results were written on the wall (for anyone who could perform some basic math, the Democratic primary was pretty much over in March after Super Tuesday). To overthrow the will of millions of Democratic voters would be rigging the system.

He did a marvelous job, he moved the Democratic party to the left...but he was never going to win, not because the system was rigged...but because the US, and the Democratic Party, is not a majority progressive/socialist party. Something like 15-20% of the US identifies as extremely liberal.

So, Bernie had a choice. go pout in the corner and be the next Jill Stein or Gary Johnson...or work within the system to continue to try and improve the Democratic Party. 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing. He also realizes just what a disaster the Trump presidency would be for the people who championed and it would be a disservice to what he stands.

 

I'm also guessing he'll be given more responsibility than picking up McDonald's and being the funny fat guy in the corner.

Remember the last time we had a politician so paranoid about losing an election he resorted to all sorts of unethical practices?

Same shit but the Libs are cool with it.

Other than the fact you are sniffing Hillary's underwear, you are right, there were no ethical violations to put her paranoid ass on the podium accepting the nomination. Squeaky clean practices just like everything else she has been involved in.
