46. Not IF Voter Registrations Are Changed... AND For Those Here

who think this isn't real, you should AT THE VERY LEAST understand that almost every single Primary SOME SCREW UP has been either found or people have protested about what experiences they've had!

As time goes by I've begun to feel DESPERATE about what a CRAP SHOOT voting has become! WHEN YOU SEE so many thousands and thousands of people coming out to Bernie Rallies and then he loses, it can't ALWAYS be "oh, they weren't registered" because THE NUMBERS do not bear this out!

Even if NOTHING will be proven, if he loses NY with so very many, many people supporting him... I can no longer say I BELIEVE that it was a FAIR election. This KEEPS happening and has become a pattern throughout the Primaries so you can disagree with me all you want, I no longer care what others may think.

I wasn't a supporter of Hillary last time out, but THIS TIME my thoughts about her have fallen so far down into a very deep DUMPSTER!

Support her if you want, but what's being sold to you doesn't LOOK anything like Democracy! Go ahead and scream back at me, that's just fine, but I can NO LONGER understand why you do so, not do really care much. Things no longer add up and fighting about it is USELESS!

it has been the MEMBERS who endorsed him.

And in EVERY Hillary endorsement it has been the LEADERSHIP (the establishment) who endorsed her.

She have NEVER gotten an endorsement from the MEMBERSHIP of any organization. It is a matter of RECORD.

propaganda operating under the theory that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Sanders supporters during 2016 have been the absolute worst offenders in DU history--no one comes close--at polluting this site with rightwing sewage from Daily Caller, Ed Klein, NY Post, legal Insurrection, Dick Morris, Fox News, Washington Free Beacon--over mostly the email stuff but other bogus bullshit.

So, yeah, act like Democrats and allies of Democrats instead of third party saboteurs and maybe the label will not apply.
