How come it's only when Bernie loses

[boston bean]

there are allegations of the loser getting screwed, treated unfairly, voter frauded, cheated?!?!?

[VulgarPoet]

1. Once is a fluke.

Twice is coincidence.
Three times? Ratfuckery. Plain and simple.

[Betty Karlson]

2. Because he fights a clean campaign, without establishment fraudulently assisting him?

[seabeyond]

10. Lol lol. That would be stealing data endorsements and logos. Taking too much in contribution from

individuals. That kind of clean. Ah ha.

[Betty Karlson]

14. You mean the deliberately created data breach that allowed Debbie to overreach at a crucial moment?

(and allowed Clinton to spy on Sanders too)

That was very unclean, but it wasn't Sanders who ended up with dirty hands, was it? It was Hillary's campaign manager (sorry, I mean DNC chair) DWS!

[boston bean]

15. it's a massive conspiracy! lol

[Betty Karlson]

17. It's massive fraud. How much of it was conspired between HRC and DWS is as yet unresolved.

Nothing funny about that, by the way.

[boston bean]

18. lol! Keep going! hahahahahahaha

[Betty Karlson]

21. Your answers do not guarantee the healing of the rift in the party.

But then: it has long been clear that Clinton desn't care about progressives or gays or millennials at all. So I guess I have hit the trifecta.

[boston bean]

22. I'm not rifted. If you are, maybe concern yourself with it!

[seabeyond]

36. All The rules much change for the outsider that has never contributed to the party. All paths

cleared. So typical. Throw up the hurdles and blocks to make it as challenging as possible for the woman, and clear out the path for an easy stride for the white man. Hence, a loss with the Democratic base. We too easily see the demand, and we just say,...

No.

[seabeyond]

34. I do not cotton much to excusing theft..... Better to own it and move on instead of justification

for theft

[misterhighwasted]

38. umm..he's sat in DC for 25 years..Bernie IS the Establishment.

That anti-establishment meme has been debunked, quite soundly.

[Betty Karlson]

43. Have you seen the superdelegate gap? So much for "debunked". eom

[bravenak]

3. Millionaires Billionaires Oligarchs

[boston bean]

6. The old MBO!

[bravenak]

11. They are just the establishment

I bet some of us black power brokers infiltrated the AZ primary to give the State to us confederates.

[boston bean]

16. the BPBC - Black Power Brokers Confederacy! LOL!!!!!!!

Subsidiary of the MBO!

[bravenak]

19. Yep. Tools of the establishment

I'm pretty much a sellout with my esteemed Buddy JL (that Means John Lewis)

[boston bean]

24. JL is the Chairman of the BPBC!

Everyone with an ounce of critical thinking knows that!

[bravenak]

31. MLK founded our wonderful group

[rbrnmw]

25. me too Hillary is paying me some serious quarters

[bravenak]

27. She's been droppin dimes all over the hood

https://m.

[rbrnmw]

32. LMAO

[PeaceNikki]

30. Plus the "Powers That Be".

[bravenak]

33. Those are us VAGINAS

[PeaceNikki]

35. BINGO!!

[pdsimdars]

12. And this is it . . . .she can't win without lying, cheating and swift boating. . .

she is among the LEAST liked and LEAST trusted while Bernie is at the top. And she can't stand on her own policies but must adopt Bernie's. Total loser.

And if she does win. . . no working Americans will get any relief, only favors for the rich.. It's who they are, it's what they do. How many decades of evidence do they need?

[seabeyond]

5. Saw two petitions go up from the person not a part or contributor to the Democratic Party demand

we change the rules mid stream for him because he is losing, with the Super delegates. Ya.... Cheating only when Sanders loses. Tell ya. As an athlete for decades, he would be pinned with poor sport all the way.

[rjsquirrel]

7. Bernie NEVER loses

he just fails to win.

It's all her fault. It's a conspiracy.

[bobbobbins01]

8. It's kind of hard to fraud voters from outside the establishment running the voting.

After all...he just because a democrat! Unless you think he's got crony politicians in high places in each state pulling the strings for him. He has been in politics for a long time, maybe its all part of his long con.

[Thinkingabout]

13. Oh, really?

[Lizzie Poppet]

9. Personally, I'm not ready to go there, by a long shot. However...

...it's utterly obvious at this point that the election in Arizona was bungled badly. What I'm not ready to say (and won't be without a hell of a lot of solid evidence) is that the fiasco was deliberate and intended to favor any particular candidate. Something like that, which would completely change the race, has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt.

[NorthCarolina]

20. Probably because cheating and voter disinfranchisement are involved

with many of the States Clinton picked up. Luckily (for Bernie) you can't flood a caucus State with absentee ballots.

[Jefferson23]

23. You're not aware Hillary supporters are upset at being turned away yesterday in Arizona?

There are Hillary supporters in this thread..your OP is less than helpful.

[think]

37. They're aware but just don't care.

[72DejaVu]

26. The more obvious it becomes that Bernie can't win

The more mud his supporters will throw, attempting to delegitimize Hillary's victory.

[alcibiades_mystery]

50. +16 net delegates yesterday for Bernie, despite landslides in Idaho and Utah

I think the scale of a 300 delegate deficit is sinking in for even those Sandersians most in denial.

[Surya Gayatri]

28. 'Tis an enduring mystery! LOL!

[bkkyosemite]

29. So you evidently don't know that when he loses there is always voter irregularities in that

state...right?

[haikugal]

39. Because your myopic.

[HooptieWagon]

40. It's quite evident Arizona was a clusterfuck.

I don't think there's any way to determine what the will of the voters was. Voter registrations were completely fucked up. Voters were turned away. Thousands of provisional ballots...who knows if they'll be counted or not? Voting Precincts in Maricopa County reduced from 400 in 2008, to 200 in 2012, to 60 in 2016. Election called when only the early votes reported, people still waiting in line to vote 5+ hours later. Some voters couldn't wait...had to return to jobs, school, or kids. Most likely every candidate was affected to one degree or another. Nobody should be making the excuse that the situation yesterday in AZ is acceptable or should be allowed to stand.

[stonecutter357]

41. K&R!

[Orsino]

42. How come there are any DUers dismissing such allegations?

I thought we all knew that the oligarchy hates our vote and wants to outlaw it.

[cherokeeprogressive]

44. How come people getting screwed, treated unfairly, voter frauded, or cheated leads to Bernie losing?

[R B Garr]

45. Yeah, and in Arizona, those supposedly cheated were Clinton voters,

but somehow they magically turn into Bernie voters if they didn't actually get to vote. The election coverage was talking about the polling areas thinned out, and they favored Clinton.

[cwydro]

46. It is fascinating, is it not?

Smh.

[Blue_In_AK]

47. We should ALL care when voters are disenfranchised.

That you don't seem to says a lot.

[Iliyah]

53. Only "disenfranchised" when BS loses

The hypocrisy is strong. May the double standard be with you

[Blue_In_AK]

54. Are you kidding me?

I'm sure there were many Clinton supporters in those long lines and late registrants who were disenfranchised, as well. You'll be singing a different tune when the Republicans pull this kind of stuff in November. We should all be very concerned about this. I thought Democrats were opposed to voter suppression. Silly me...

[lumberjack_jeff]

48. There's a fairly obvious answer to that one. n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

49. Progressives never actually lose elections, as is well known

[Tom Rinaldo]

51. Forget a partisan screen

Look at it each election on its merits. AZ F*cked up - that is pretty obvious and should be unacceptable to all Democrats.

[trumad]

52. Because that's all they got.
