If you want to shake up things you need to have something to bargain with, otherwise the whole danger adverse / status quo will block you anyways. Now is the time, in a few years you will lose the momentum to do anything. Yep. You can take democracy hostage by putting yourself in the position of the least worst candidate, and it can work ; but at some point it won't work anymore, and you'll have nobody but yourself to blame. Although I fully expect Clinton's camp to blame Sanders' supporters if/when they lose. | ||

Glorified blogs don't count btw. 1 news station didn't mention anything, oh ok then. The RNC was a ghost town, I'm pretty sure that wasn't front page headlines for weeks btw. I still find it funny how Howard Dean's scream literally cost him the election. Like he had that in the bag, then 1 enthusiastic scream and he's done, it's over, that's it. Fast forward to 2016 and apparently nothing can hurt either candidate. 1 little scream seems so wholesome and silly and innocent looking back on it now. What a time to be alive. | ||

It's unfortunate that during a time of internal strife and differing opinions within the Democratic Party, there's a neo-Hitler who has received the Republican nomination. If I had to choose between Neo-Hitler/possibly starting WW3 and corrupt politician, I think you pick the one who is not neo-Hitler.... | ||

One article points to some verified twitter accounts with maybe ~100k followers between them. People were talking about none of the major news networks saying a peep as they watched it happen. It's obvious what they were trying to do and it's getting Orwellian with how hard people on both sides are covering for their candidate. | ||

Ah yes, there's nothing more Orwellian than verifiying claims made here instead of taking them at face value. As for spin, I included some of the most biased known sources at the bottom to show that even those aren't hiding this story as zeo claimed. In the more respectable sources there's several articles about this, not just the ones I linked and not from 'much later'. | ||

It is a frightening notion that this almost sounds like perfectly rational thinking. But I agree that you can be a Bernie supporter, out there protesting the process at the DNC and still vote for the corporate shell that received the nomination in order to... help prevent/delay world war 3 | ||

Is Trump BFF's with Putin or will he go to nuclear war with Russia? You can't have it both ways. 'Putin wants Trump in power because its going to bring us closer to WW3'. How does that even make sense? | ||

In many other countries the party would have fallen apart,or at least not nominate Clinton. The leaks should have come out 1 week earlier,then there was time for the anger to build up. Now everyone was still in shock and the party managed to push Clinton through with the help of sanders. Sanders better got some very hard guarantees for his platform in these negotiations. Hope its not only the vague promise of a 15$ minimum wage sometimes in the future. | ||
