Funny thing about this is that I think it helps Bernie. Bernie supporters look at things like numbers and yell oligarchy.

If the topic is "Did he make fun of a disabled guy", and you say he did not, I think it is fair to ask what you think he was intending to do with his arms. EDIT: Anyone looking for a laugh: https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/4mtuc1/media_is_prepared_to_anoint_clinton_tomorrow/ Going quietly with our tail between our legs is not the plan. Clinton will not intimidate the Progressive Awakening into "unifying" behind her. We cannot legitimatize the media's narrative and must strike back with the truth the second NJ is called. I'm planning to use #ItsNotOver or #ImDoneWithHer - what's your plan? | ||

On another note, I read that like 25%+ of democratic primary voters already voted, and Clinton had like a 9 point among them. Just imagine if Bernie losses by a small amount. But that's yet another story in the book titled "Why having weeks of early voting is dumb." CA has a 4 week (FOUR!) early voting period. Insane. | ||

Yeah, I certainly realize that things like this tend to actually inflate the winner, as we are seeing with Trump. But I think the Bernie supporters are a whole different beast. If anything, being declared the losers will make more of them skip class to go vote. Also, do you see Cali's early voting as a bad thing or something? | ||

He ran on a borderline communist platform of redistribution of wealth from the 1% to the 99% with adding all sorts of free government programs to benefit the masses. And what he ended up doing was taking 200 million dollars in donations from the 99% and giving it back to the 1% | ||

They do seem obsessed with Trump's limbs, whether it's their goofy shape, trying to draw a comparison to the Nazis, or saying he was making fun of the disability of a random journalist that his audience knew nothing about. | ||

Donate! Match me! Phone bank! It was devoid of fun and humour. Its jokes were lame and tame. Gotta give them credit for effort and enthusiasm. It'd be nice for S4P to go full on delusional and demand Bernie run with Jill Stein. Hell, they paid enough into it to get some proper representation. They know it's unwise and would play election spoiler, but some of them actually want it enough just to push the progressive agenda and to give Hillary the middle finger. I'm 99% sure it would never happen, but a man can dream of brighter days.

But Trump makes my claims seem so empty, doing better than that is just soooo easy. If that were true Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, or Ted Cruz would have won the nomination. Ted Cruz is a nut but the man is an extremely capable politician, and an excellent liar. Rand Paul is just well liked despite having to pander to the GoP base. And Rubio was supposed to be the GoP's latino vote winner. That's why so many big donors donated to his campaign after it was clear Bush wasn't going to cut it. From day one Trump was against every massive outlet in the world. And he succeeded. And he's brought up a lot of important issues that were never talked about, or never known. He really did kill it on his energy conference, and he'd be very good for the Canadian economy with renewing the Keystone XL pipeline that Obama murdered us on. Now, if he's the Hillary plant we were warned about all along, he'll implode his campaign for funsies. | ||

It would be the funniest shit ever to watch the democratic party destroy itself trying to beat Trump just like the republican party did. | ||

Also, do you see Cali's early voting as a bad thing or something? 4 weeks is way too long. Things change in that amount of time. For instance, the report about Clinton wasn't out 29 days ago (IIRC this is the # of days in Cali. Easier to say 4 weeks). We hold elections on certain days, the fact that in CA you cast a vote a full month in advance is madness. 14 days tops. Preferably 7-10. | ||

Trump didn't know about his disability in the same way he didn't know David Duke was a white supremacist, right? He just choose to use those arm motions because he always uses them in every single public speech of his (by always uses them I mean he has never ever done it before or after that of course). | ||

Calling it based upon the polling of super delegates --- not their actual votes --- before all of the primaries is done is bullshit. I think that the media (and DNC whom I am sure is complicit in this) have made a huge mistake. Hillary needs to bring Bernie supporters into the tent, not antagonize them further. | ||

Yeah people just to brush off what Chris Matthews said a while ago that they would declare her the nominee before California polls closed but this seals it. A massive fuck up. | ||
