And . . . . the gauntlet is thrown down over at Kos.

[stranger81]

If you have anything to say over there that is less than worshipful of Her Royal Highness, you should say it before March 15.

If the election is still up for grabs then, it appears that the PTB (including Markos) are going to do everything they can to slam their fists on the scale.

1. Does anybody hang out there any more? eom

[stranger81]

2. I don't post anymore, I just read.

But there will be precious little of value left to read there in eleven days, it seems.

3. fuck them

seriously, they want to disenfranchise so many of us and crown the Queen way before Bernie's strong states even have a chance to vote. They, the MSM, and the Dems want us all to think that Bernie has NO chance. Well I think they're a bunch of cowardly, right wing pushing, status quo idiots who are throwing away the BEST chance that we ALL have to actually change politics and the world that we live in. Fuck them!!

[Cleita]

5. The best thing will be is to prove them wrong.

I doubt if the place will even be palatable anymore if it's nothing more than buttering up the Hillary from that time on.

[SamKnause]

4. Fuck that !!!!

Social media will continue to kick MSM ass !!!

[HereSince1628]

6. Nothing to stop the Admin here from doing something similar... n/t

[haikugal]

7. Very true.

[HereSince1628]

9. That's not an indictment, it's the nature of privately owned websites

the owner(s) get(s) to do whatever.

[haikugal]

10. It's not democracy...more thumbs on the scale. No different than the MSM.

[retrowire]

21. If it happens here, the exodus should go to JPR. nt

[haikugal]

23. It will and they will.

[TM99]

29. We are already preparing for a large influx

of new members.

[Mbrow]

11. True but they will lose what? 80% of the members?

They can if they want but a lot more of us will just go to JPR and they can sit in their bubble bath and fart....

[HereSince1628]

12. People who don't like it, don't have to go there.

I think it just shows more of the general heavy handedness ... I don't expect that to immediately help bring together the different camps for the GE, but it gives people a long time to come to grips with it.

[Contrary1]

22. Probably sooner than you think:

24. I can't see posts by that particular DUer

[arcane1]

26. Especially considering their connection to the Clinton campaign.

It has to be embarrassing to be taking their money and yet 85% of the site can't stand her

[HereSince1628]

28. All those loyalty oath polls...they've got what they need for the big purge

if they have the courage to lose the views.

[bernbabe]

8. Can't wait

until that place goes full Clinton and then she gets indicted.

[Fawke Em]

14. That will be interesting to watch everywhere.

Here, there, in Established Democratic™ circles.



Then we get to say, "We TOLD you so!"

[CoffeeCat]

16. LOL! I don't post there, but I'd visit there just to see that. (nt)

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

13. It's not quite that bad.

To reiterate, if Sanders eats into Clinton’s big delegate lead by March 15, then we carry on. But if he doesn’t, then on March 15 this site officially transitions to General Election footing.

Kos isn't saying flat out, on March 15, it's all Hillary. He's saying that if Sanders hasn't been narrowing the gap by then, he's really running out of time to do so. And I'd have to agree with him. Bernie does need to be chewing into her lead starting this weekend, and continue doing so through the 15th. Personally, I'd love to see her (regular delegate) lead chopped at least in half by the 16th.

[stranger81]

18. I would appreciate that caveat more if "narrowing the gap" wasn't so subjective.

Narrowing the gap in terms of delegates actually cast? Vis-a-vis totals with the super delegates thrown into the mix, all of which will be assumed to be in HRH's camp? I agree that Bernie needs to start diminishing her lead in the next ten days, but I am not quite so gullible as to think that any amount of progress on Bernie's part will be deemed sufficient to warrant Kos backing off this March 15 edict. You know and I know that whatever the results are, they will be interpreted in such a way as to support the "inevitable" candidate.

[Broward]

15. Goodbye Daily Kos. Just another faux liberal site.

[GoneFishin]

30. I caught wafts of that over 2 years ago. I never had any desire to go there after that.

[wendylaroux]

17. well shit,I feel like I'm back in school,sitting at the outcast table,fuzzy hair

crappy clothes.I'll never be popular!!!!

Oh yea,fuck them.

[SoapBox]

19. And don't forget...

You have no say because "they" (aka Entrenched Elite Establishment types, that have taken on bully tactics) are telling you you don't matter, so shut up.

Well...I refuse shut up and bow before The Queen.

[wendylaroux]

20. Incredible isn't it? I just don't get people. nt

[jillan]

25. Hillary needs 2383 delegates total - there are over 3K delegates left. She has 1058

Yes that includes super delegates.
(Right now the delegates won = 596 Hillary - 407 Bernie.)

Knowing that she is short 1325 delegates, why is this race over?

What happened this year that made Hillary supporters stop believing in democracy and our right to vote.

[GoneFishin]

31. They have been playing psy-ops games since the earliest allegations that Bernie would not be able

raise the money to run. They have been wrong over and over and over.

They don't care that they are wrong. Everything with them is a frigging head game.

[Babel_17]

27. Starting now, I'll make an effort to not use that site as a source

Hey, it does work both ways, sweet. lol

[RobertEarl]

33. Back before email

I heard of activists using faxes to bomb a target they wanted to educate about an issue. I heard it worked really well to get attention,

Would emails work in the same fashion?
