Those absurd claims that ths is "voter suppression" "A coup", etc, Please, GMAB

[lunamagica]

NBC and AP declaring Hillary the presumptive nominee is NOT voter suppression

There is NO voter suppression. Everyone on the states voting tomorrow is totally, completely free to do so.

NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU.

A coup? Oh, come on.

After claiming for months how strong support for Sanders is, how he is the strongest candidate, how enthusiastic his supporters are...now a simple declaration from NBC and AP is going to stop the enormous tsunami of support for him?

SERIOUSLY? Is this what you call A "revolution"? Have you seen how in countries with REAL revolutions, people risk their LIVES in order to exercise their right to vote? Yes, the danger of possibly DYING is not enough to stop them, but a declaration of media outlets is enough to stop the Sanders revolution.

If you were planning to vote, go ahead and vote...again, NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU.

1. millions of "voters" who could not read/figure out how to get a ballot - that is not fraud and

somehow I doubt there were actually all those millions of voters to begin with

[Hokie]

2. Yeah, it must be a corollary to the Berniemath principle

3. You're talking about "revolutionists" ...

... who were allegedly prepared to march on D.C. and take back the country, torches and pitchforks in hand, who whined about not being able to watch their Leader debate on TV if it was scheduled against a "big game".

"If the Tea Party had been held any other night, I would have been there! But the inter-colony turkey shoot finals are on the same night, so regretfully I cannot attend the Revolution."

11. the problem wasn't Sanders fans choosing to watch 'the big game' - they already decided

It is the Hillary supporter's loss, siting at home watching the big game rather than bothering to watch an unknown go against the inevitable winner. Letting MSM tell them in sound bytes all they needed to know.

I hope this new lawsuit finds them all guilty of fraud.

[NanceGreggs]

14. Can you provide the links ...

... to where HRC supporters complained about debates being scheduled "on the night of a big game, or on a night of the office Christmas party, or on the night they were planning to go Christmas shopping"?

In this day and age, complaining that one "can't watch a debate" if it's scheduled on a certain night is beyond ridiculous. There are these devices available where one can record anything on TV and watch it at their leisure. There is also this thing called the internet where people can access a debate at any time.

It was the BSers who whinged incessantly about the debate schedules. If you have links to HRCers complaining that they "couldn't watch" the debates, please provide them.

TIA!

19. You misread my post.

I didn't say anything about Hillary peeps complaining. Yes, Sanders people complained knowing it would limit the reach of their message to the unconverted. Show me the links please where you can prove that the demographic Bernie needed is all so tech savvy.

[NanceGreggs]

20. Your words ...

... "It is the Hillary supporter's loss, siting at home watching the big game rather than bothering to watch an unknown go against the inevitable winner. Letting MSM tell them in sound bytes all they needed to know."

The HRC supporters WERE watching the debates, instead of whining that they couldn't do so because the "big game" was on.

26. political revolution is not rioting in the streets

[George II]

4. Now winning a series of elections is "voter suppression"!

[Sancho]

5. Counting does not equal revolution...

[Sheepshank]

6. Down ballot candidates also need their voters

[randome]

7. Whiny, little loser bunnies.

8. Anddddd~

Once again it is all Hillary's fault.

[bravenak]

9. It is about the most ridiculius shit I have seen. Of course they can vote. It's beyond silly.

[GRhodes]

10. Just letting you all know

We'll be watching you same posters in the GE. If the Republicans do exactly the same things that have been done in this primary, I'm sure you'll be consistent and say nothing, and accept the results without protest, cause you know they're going to do this stuff to you. If it's no big deal now, it will be no big deal then too.

[Lord Magus]

12. Things like getting more votes in states? -nt-

[Hiraeth]

18. they will just blame Bernie like they blame Nader.

[puffy socks]

28. The problem is

Bernie and co. claimed every single state and territory in he lost was rigged and its total crap
Were there problems in some States? yes and those should be issues discussed and solve as best they can
But its childish trying to claim all the elections were rigged against Bernie

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. Bernie got his ass kicked so badly in VI and Puerto Rico

That the delegate count went against him. the denial and conspiracy thinking are laughable but par for the course.

[Cha]

15. Gracias, Luna!

[shenmue]

16. True

[BootinUp]

17. They are upset because it reveals Bernie's dishonesty about his chances. nt.

[Gothmog]

21. There was no voter suppression except maybe in caucus states

[LexVegas]

22. Give them a break. It hurts to lose, especially when it's not even close. nt

[puffy socks]

30. Why do they deserve a break?

Berners were acting like arrogant prigs long before the primaries even started so this isn't about feeling pain because they lost big.

They wanted to dish it out ...it's time for them to man up and quit pouting like babies

[Orsino]

23. We are right to suspect an attempt to suppress votes.

Exit polls are withheld from the public until voting ends to prevent influencing votes. Calling a primary early, even only a little early, is indistinguishable from an attempt to discourage Sanders voters. That it was also technically incorrect only adds to the aroma. That it came from AP also suggests a pattern.

I would hope that the impact will be negligible, but California is a big deal. There is an awful lot of Big Money with an interest in affecting the outcome.

[okieinpain]

24. +1 n/t.

[Sheepshank]

25. It's painfully obvious, but Hillary must be blamed.

[mcar]

27. K&R

[joshcryer]

29. Bandwagon is more of a concern than suppression.

Unless you don't actually believe in your candidate.

It's basically the difference between saying "I don't think people will vote for my candidate, so I'm going to stay home," and "I don't think people will vote for my candidate because they'll go vote for the other one."

There is at least one DUer who is openly on record saying they know their vote won't count or something like that.

[gordianot]

31. Gosh what do you expect someone throwing chairs?

[NurseJackie]

32. Remember when enforcement of voter registration deadlines were also called "voter suppression"?

[niyad]

33. see, there you go with facts, again. so silly.
