Wait this was the State Convention. At the State Convention the delegates actually have to.... SHOW UP to vote for their candidate. And from what I can tell some of these delegates did not show up and a few of these.... actually CHANGED Party affiliation after the Caucuses. 

 

"I changed my registration from Democrat about three weeks ago when I went on a spur of disgust for the party

I was so disgusted with the DNC last month, I think it was NY. I thought about having this issue, but I thought I was in the clear. I didn't know there was this rule and I ****ed up."

OH MY ****ING GOD. The first rule of the convention is that you must be a registered Democrat.

This Bernie nonsense needs to stop. Bernie does have the leverage to change some policies in the Dem party. Isn't that what all this was for in the first place, change? What's the point of all of it if we are now going to give the election to Trump because we are not unified. Bernie need to suspend his campaign if he really wants change and not just some misguided sense of power over anarchists. 

****ing this

 

I'm coming to terms with a trump presidency. My bomb shelter is up and running if anyone of yall want invites, pm me

Here's a clip of the MASSIVE protest in front of the NV DNC office.

I hope they realize the building is EMPTY on Sundays.

So I guess exercising your democratic voice/rights is the same as "causing chaos" now? The race was close, they have every right to ask for a recount.

"...Chaos..."

We're mad for several reasons, but the main reason is that our voice is not being recognized in the DNC. 

* They started counting petitions, essentially voting, before EVERYONE was even inside. The preliminary count was just plain undemocratic. They then moved that the preliminary count, be final. THAT'S UNDEMOCRATIC.

This is the DNC rigging the system. We have a right to be angry, and you should be too.

 

Reason why Bernie lost Nevada: He had less votes than Hillary Clinton. 

Reasons why Bernie Sanders did not lose: The system is rigged, the DNC is against him, Hillary Clinton is corrupt 

Stop being a sore loser. I don't know why you're complaining about the democratic primary elections being undemocratic. They're not intended to be democratic, there is no law saying they have to be democratic, and they own it to no one to make them democratic. For Christ's sake, they have super delegates! 

At the end of the day Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee because she has thousands of more votes than any other candidate. Not because the system is rigged against white male socialists, but because he has less votes.

Did you even see what occurred before making this statement?

[Lion Heart 15,041]

This is just one example of why Caucuses need to end.   

 

They're incredibly messy, time consuming, confusing, they disenfranchise elderly people, the disabled, people working at that time. And for some idiotic reason... people CHANGE party affiliation days before it's time to vote.

Yes, I did, stop being so condescending.

Also, no one "stole" any delegates. Hillary's voters didn't show up for the second round, plain and simple. Bernie won those delegates democratically, whether you like it or not. OF COURSE people are going to be upset when they are taking delegates away from their candidate, and Hillary supporters would have done the same thing if it had been the other way around. Actually, they were really damn upset when it happened to them in Nevada too. However, it's not like calling for a re-count is a stretch, nor is it illegal or anything. The third round was very close, so naturally people will ask for a recount. This is not the first time something like this has happened and it has happened in previous elections. Bernie's supporters weren't "causing chaos", if you watched the footage you would see all they did was stand up and chanted that they wanted a recount. What's so wrong about that? Ya need to put away your beef with Bernie aside sometimes.

What? They're still seeking nominations, which doesn't involve Trump, she's not giving any voters to Trump. He has made it clear that if he doesn't receive the nomination he will drop out and endorse Hillary, he's not sabotaging her at all. His supporters who are already misguided and think Bernie or Bust is a good idea won't change their mind simply because Bernie drops out. It will take an endorsement from Bernie to do that, and he already said he would do that in the event that he wasn't the nominee.

You ****ing kidding?

Hillary won the caucus which estimated the delegate count at 20 - 15.

Then in the second step at the county level convention, the Sanders supporters outnumbered the Clinton supporters and gained some of the estimated delegates back for Bernie.

Now at the state level convention today, the Clinton supporters outnumbered the Sanders supporters and the delegate count ends up back where it started as 20 -15 in favor of Clinton. The same result as was estimated based on the caucus results.

So, they are mad that the delegates they stole from Clinton at the county level, got stolen back at the state level by Clinton. They are mad that the end results actually reflect the results of the original caucus.

That you tacitly approve of this barbaric uncivil performance is beyond the pale.

NO ONE has the right to be a total asshole, and start physical altercations, regardless of how exasperated you are with the process and it's imperfect human imperfections.

Maturity, cooperation, cordiality, patience and RESPECT accomplish much more, yet are the first things to be rejected.

That's why RULES of Order are named exactly that.

Me asking you if you watched the issue wasn't being condescending. It was the complete opposite. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt after reading your remarkably dismissive statement.

You and your ilk can start your own goddamn Tea Party if you want to. Leave the Democrat constituency out of this.

Terrible, terrible losers  Hillary has done tons of concessions to the left. She wants to unify the party. If Trump becomes president, it will be BECAUSE OF BERNIE.

If Bernie can't win, then he is going to take Hillary down with him  Serves the establishment right

Sometimes I think you are a Donald supporter in disguise but then you opened up that ridiculous thread about Gaga that was closed the other day and I realize your just a troll looking for a fight.
