Sanders Statement on Nevada (official, full statement)

[zentrum]

64. The Nevada chair...

…clearly over rode a voice vote. This deserved to be challenged. If the party is to survive at all, this kind of thing cannot be allowed.

The people in the room, Democrats all, demanded a head count. This is what you do and how you prepare to stand up to rigged rule systems. You know, like organized labor does. Like people protesting illegal wars do. Like the thousands who marched for Obama care when the Repugs were trying to block it,

Remaining in a room and not kowtowing to the party establishment is not being set up to brawl. Dear me—your clutched pearls are certainly in a tangle over the thought of defying authority.

But, speaking as a woman who has been against Hillary since her war vote, I guess I'm a thug.

Have a good evening.
