We have to expect an uphill battle on everything! He has vowed to bust up the media oligarchy, you don't think they won't use that weapon against him?

This is how we know we are on the right side of things, when so many different news papers, TV and radio have to go so far out of their way to minimize, distort, smear, and out right lie about Bernie to try and win.

We have people power and the power of the Internet, at least we have the Internet for now. We need to redouble and triple our efforts to counter-act the bogus crap being constantly spewed! We can do this. We can tell our grand children how we put our country back on the path of Democracy and we're finally able to work on the biggest problem facing all of humanity, Climate Change! We are almost out of time!

I can't open up DU anymore without seeing evidence of another ten or twenty conspiracies against Sanders.

It's because Hillary won the state with the most delegates. She ended up with more delegates from ONE than Bernie did with THREE states combined.

Louisiana was the state to win. If it had been the other way around...and Bernie won LA, Hillary the others...they would have done the same.

that does not take into account what has happened during the ENTIRE primary....please don't try to convince me that this has not been one sided from the start.

They know a conspiracy when they see one, and facts won't change their minds. Clearly, in their minds, anyone who thinks Clinton is winning is by definition part of a conspiracy.

I also liked what Nancy Pelosi said about it:

"I'm not a believer in the sway of superdelegates deciding who is going to be the nominee. I think we have a democratic process where people vote on both sides of the aisle and that should determine who the nominee is." - https://www.rt.com/usa/334543-pelosi-democrats-superdelegate-system/

We have that democratic process on the other side of the aisle. The Democratic Party should change its name unless it gets rid of the superdelegates.

Reason we see so many Hillombies posting on how HRC has such a land slide lead, even back just After SC. They are seeing the distorted number the media are giving and are lead around like sheep accepting it. How in fuck can you be cheer-leading your candidate for being ahead because of establishment (Super Delegates) who is running against a person that is fighting that very system. I guess they like bowing to elite class like Dean. Let's just go back to having Dukes and Earls etc. At least in UK elections are not as rigged as over here.

It is like cheering on Lance Armstrong to win Tour de France france knowing he is on enhancement drugs and is riding a motorcycle and you are happy he is wining cause he is the better cyclist..

I think it all boils down to American's celebrity love. Look at the way people treat sports figures who are beating shit out women and the public just ignores it. Since Clinton has the name she can do no harm.

Because it does not make sense to me."And you told people you supported Hillary as soon as she announced" I have never supported Hillary since A. I was a NYer and pissed she came to NY just to have Senate seat given to her, and B. I was swayed to Obama in 08 partly due to Obamaboy crap and Her pandering borderline race baiting to whites.

And Clinton is wife-beater. It's so simple I can't understand why I didn't think of that myself.
