Nevada Dem convention devolves into chaos; Sanders supporters boo Boxer

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Source: The Hill

Tensions were high at the Democratic convention in Nevada Saturday, with Bernie Sanders supporters demanding delegate recounts, booing Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and causing other disruptions, according to local media reports.

Sanders supporters were angry over a voice vote that adopted a set of temporary convention rules as the permanent rules, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

And supporters also reacted angrily to the count of delegates attending the convention, which put Clinton at an advantage.

Boxer, a Hillary Clinton supporter, said among booing from the crowd “the future of the country is at stake. When you boo me, you’re booing Bernie Sanders. Go ahead. You’re booing Bernie Sanders.”

I fail to see how Cheating gets you anywhere except a Nomination but since Plump didn't cheat, we know who's voting for him. in the DWS Party we don't know. Nevermind DWS bothered to say there is no investigation etc involving Hillary at the moment WTF? yeah on what planet is she living on. Mars?

[Duval]

151. Maybe there is an "ostrich land" and her head is buried in it.

I cannot begin to think how DWS could deny this. Is she depending on "sound bites" from our Lame Stream Media?

[kadaholo]

136. +1000!

[pnwmom]

140. They didn't. Bernie lost in the first caucus, and he lost in the final one. And, as usual,

the difference is in Hillary's higher support among minority voters.

[Nevernose]

234. The state party really did rig it on multiple levels

But, in the end, it's probably for the best. Bernie only reversed the caucus on a technicality, so this is probably the fairest possible outcome: what caucus goers wanted. It breaks my Bernie-loving heart a little bit, but this is probably what's best for the Nevada Democratic Party in the long run.

We really need to flush caucuses down the toilet and go to a primary.

[pnwmom]

236. I feel the same way about the caucuses in my state. I am still furious that after the voters

strongly passed a referendum to replace them with a primary, the state party went to court to retain the cacuses -- and won.

convinced of that?

if Bernie wins, there is no cheating, otherwise Hillary is accused of cheating

[JesterCS]

204. +over9000 n/t

[enlightenment]

15. I agree!

Dems who break their own rules to favor one candidate over another should definitely be stopped.

Boxer was boo'd - and Nina Turner, who spoke for Sanders, was heckled by Clinton supporters. Tit for tat, children.

"Chaos" has ensued since pre-registration yesterday - with an overwhelming number of Sanders delegates suddenly discovering there were 'problems' with their registrations. Not so many Clinton delegates, interestingly.

Roberta Lange, the chair of the NV DEMS, decided to ignore clear voice votes, passing convention rules and committee appointments before all the delegates were seated (there are still delegates trying to get in the doors) and in contravention of the NV DEM standing rules of order for state conventions.

Some folks are worried about people being rude while the democratic process is being shredded by the establishment Democratic party.

Those are some f'd up priorities. Really.

[blackspade]

164. Bingo.

[roguevalley]

24. boxer has a high opinion of herself

Imagine being chastised for being against corruption. Boxer and co. Continue at the peril of our party. Why is she even there?

[rockfordfile]

128. She's a democrat

[jwirr]

158. She is DLC/Third Way.

[NewImproved Deal]

177. Boxer is also a Clinton in-law--her daughter Nichole is married to Hillary's brother Tony Rodham...

One big happy Oligarchy...I'd Boo too, and loudly!

187. Didn't know that. One big happy family of Oligarchs. And

yes I would have booed also.

Sometimes I cannot believe the mess we are in.

to do with the NV convention.

211. In name only.

[GoneFishin]

68. Yes. No matter how disappointed Camp Weathervane is that their easy coronation was intruded

upon by a strong, liberal, non-annointed candidate, they are not entitled to cheat.

[seabeyond]

150. Do you get how petty and childish posts like these come off?

[GoneFishin]

178. If expressing disapproval of pretend adults cheating to get their way is unpleasant, tough shit.

16. The ones who aren't Democrats

support Clinton.

[BlueMTexpat]

21. In view of the more than three million MORE

Democrats who support Hillary over Bernie so far, that is a pretty silly statement to make.

But it's what I've come to expect from too many who literally run amok on DU.

[Ed Suspicious]

67. You counted the votes? What about the Caucasus?

[pnwmom]

145. Most have been included in the tallies, by converting state delegate equivalents into voter numbers.

But what difference does it really make to say that she is 2.9, 3, or 3.1 million votes ahead? She is far ahead, period.

[ChiciB1]

172. Sorry, But Too Many Of Us No Longer BELIEVE That Voting In

this country is in any way FAIR OR ACCURATE! When a person gets thousands and thousands of people coming to HIS rallies over and over and over, it simply doesn't add up!

Some of them may not have been able to vote, but from my many years of being involved with politics, people who go to rallies are people who WILL VOTE! I've been an activists since Viet Nam and NEVER have I seen such overwhelming SCREW UPS in Primary after Primary!

Yeah, the numbers are the numbers THEY want us to believe. Too bad they've made such a MESS of things that it's almost impossible to believe!

[pnwmom]

181. Millions of people like me don't attend crowded, noisy rallies but DO vote. And faithfully.

That's what you don't get. Our enthusiasm isn't measured by how willing we are to put up with crowds or screaming.

[Jopin Klobe]

129. I agree. Anybody that boos Senator Boxer is no democrat.

[KoKo]

169. Boxer has changed since her last election.

She was a hero to us on the Left when she held the voting Disenfranchisement Hearings with John Conyers all those years ago.

I've read that to win her last election against Fiorina she had to take money from people who had a DLC/NeoCon influence. She's not been the same since, sadly.

[trudyco]

189. Remember sending her roses?

Now look at her. Supporting further cheating from Clinton.
I wonder when her daughter married Hillary's brother.

[KoKo]

209. Interesting Wiki about him.....and, the marriage...

Rodham is the third and youngest child of Hugh Ellsworth Rodham, a Chicago textile wholesaler, and Dorothy Howell Rodham. His other sibling is brother Hugh Edwin Rodham.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Rodham

He attended Iowa Wesleyan College and the University of Arkansas, although he never received a degree from either school.[2]
Life and career: 1992–2001

In 1992, during Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign, Rodham began working for the Democratic National Committee, coordinating constituency outreach.[2] In 1993, he and his brother Hugh ignited a small controversy when they tried to solicit corporate donations for Clinton's inaugural parties; they dropped the effort after a public outcry.[6]

On May 28, 1994, Rodham married Nicole Boxer, daughter of United States Senator from California Barbara Boxer, in a ceremony at the White House attended by 250 guests;[7] it was the first White House wedding since Tricia Nixon married Edward Cox in 1971.[7] They had one son, Zachary, in 1995[8][9] (who later held a unique distinction in that he was simultaneously the grandson and nephew of sitting U.S. senators), before separating by 2000[10] and then getting a divorce.

By then, Tony Rodham had left his position at the Democratic National Committee[11] and described himself as "a consultant ... [in] all kinds of businesses. I'm a general consultant. I just bring different peoples together. I help them negotiate deals. I solve problems for people."[8] In 1997, Rodham tried to arrange meetings between Paraguayan President Juan Carlos Wasmosy and President Clinton,[11] and also powerful Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and the President.[4] In 1998, he paid a visit to dictatorial Prime Minister Hun Sen of Cambodia.[11] In each of these cases, there was criticism that he was giving an unauthorized impression of White House approval to these foreign figures, or was seeking financial gain for himself.[4][11]

200. Boxer had to stoop that low just to beat cruella?

That's not good. This money in politics has to go

[tex-wyo-dem]

202. Thanks, KoKo...

Been wondering what happened to Boxer. She was also one of my heroes, for her stand with Conyers and her strong environmental record, but something has changed with her in the last few years. Your explanation makes sense...sad

[lamp_shade]

4. How embarrassing for Bernie. nt

[LiberalElite]

17. I'm touched by the depth of your concern nt

[Plucketeer]

18. Oh yeah!

How embarrassing to stand up for what you believe in instead of just being a good little pawn.

[Squinch]

40. How embarassing to be, ultimately, ineffectual. Through his own fault.

[Plucketeer]

52. Keep on thinking that til July nt

[Squinch]

54. I seldom think of BS these days. I have moved on to the General. It's too important to be wasting

time on done deals.

[Plucketeer]

59. You may have a typo there

you meant "done steals", I think.

[Squinch]

65. .

You guys always talk in nonsensical scripts. It really reminds me of the tea party gibberish.

You keep fantasizing that Hillary stole something. Despite the fact that she demolished your candidate in every measure.

[Plucketeer]

80. You're SO Right

The greedy health insurance co.s Trump Medicare for all

12 bucks and hour beats 15 any day.

Fracking's fine if you do it Right

GOOD interest rates are better than no cost college. What family wouldn't want to fork over money and keep junior in the basement until they're in their thirties?

Those are just for starters. Bernie - you damned agitator!

BTW - enjoy your fantasies.

[Squinch]

87. He would have gotten you none of that. But, hey, he's lost so I have no interest in wasting

any MORE time arguing against your unrealistic and repetitive script.

[Plucketeer]

93. Whaddo they call that phenomenon?

Closed-minded I think it is. Right? Right.

[reACTIONary]

144. I think it's called....

.... realism.

[Duval]

154. "Tunnel Vision" comes to mind.

It's only hurting their candidate, but they can't see that. Sad.

[Depaysement]

[Jopin Klobe]

74. What? ...

... embarrassed for the country because of its crooked politicians? ...

... absolutely ...

[Thinkingabout]

6. How does one begin to govern throuh turmoil? we can't turn the controls over to those

Who shout and boo. You can hear what the constituents are saying over the yelling and shouting.

[roguevalley]

27. they called people who thought that in 1776 tories

[Plucketeer]

35. Well, there is that old axiom

about the "squeaky wheel getting the grease". I'd say you need to yell even louder. Besides, Clinton doesn't care what her constituents want anyway, so it won't matter whether she can hear you. It's all about what SHE wants from them. With Sanders it's "We", with Clinton it's "She".

[Thinkingabout]

47. She has shown a longer and stronger history in helping others. Sanders

Does not care about poor people, if he did he would not have pushed to dump nuclear waste in poor areas of Texas. This is one example, there are more. When did you hear of Sanders going into migrant camps trying to help the children of those camps, yes she cares about poor people. The Clinton Foundation is all into helping those less fortunate, does Sanders have a charitable foundation?

[Plucketeer]

56. So he "pushed" for that, eh?

And since you obviously know better, just who's back yard would you place that stuff in???

[Thinkingabout]

76. Maybe Jane is going to use her influence to return the waste to her yard.

[Plucketeer]

85. That's not what I asked

I asked where would YOU have it dumped? Obviously, remote stretches of Texas don't suit you. And we can't just pretend like the stuff don't exist. So where do you suggest we send it. If you have a suggestion, I'll go to the trouble of writing it down and snail-mailing it to Bernie's senate offices for consideration.

[Plucketeer]

99. FYI

Contrary to Right Wing talking points, Sanders did not vote to send these materials to a little town called Sierra Blanca. Sierra Blanca was at one point selected as a possible site for the storage project but it was not written into the legislation and was a matter of selection by the State of Texas.

[Thinkingabout]

107. Would you want the waste in your state or near where you live? I don't think Texas should

Receive Vermont's waste.

[Plucketeer]

116. GAH!

And I KNOW BETTER than to argue with you. I think I'll go have an intellectual chat with our brick walkway. Bye.

135. Especially the women and children

Fine job in Iraq, Syria and Libya. Thousand helped to die. Yes. Fine job, that one.

[Thinkingabout]

149. In far the fact Sanders voted against any help on Syria plays into his lack of

Concern for wo.en a d children, thanks for reminding me of his lack of concern for the deaths in Syria.

[notadmblnd]

171. I'm sorry, I don't understand gibberish

When you master the ability to articulate a coherent sentence, get back to me.

[Thinkingabout]

192. Oh, yea, bye

[dynamo99]

156. Does Sanders have a charitable foundation?

I'd agree that a better location to dump nuclear waste would be Chevy Chase, or Palm Springs, or Scarsdale, or Winnetka, or West University Place (TX). But, you know, in America we don't site nuclear dumps where rich people live, even if they're the ones who benefit the most.

Charitable foundation? Rich people have charitable foundations. People who get megabucks for a half hour's speech to banksters and a little rubbing shoulders have charitable foundations.

I do not thinnk Bernie has a charitable foundation.

[Thinkingabout]

159. He is in a better position than many, he is in the Top 6% pf wage earners and

On the tax return he did not donate much to charity. My question is why is the Clinton Foundation attacked so often. Point was also to who the Clintons commitment to helping others, and BTW it is not going to the 1% some seems to be confused happens.

[Nevernose]

231. Does Hilary have a foundation?

Her former-president husband sure does, but if we don't blame Hilary for Bill's failures, then we can't give her credit for his successes, either.

[Thinkingabout]

235. The Clintons has a foundation, she donated her speech money to the foundation.

I read lots of disparaging remarks about the Clinton Foundation, the truth is this foundation gives 89% of their donations to the less fortunate and needs around the world. In fact Trump has also donated to the CGI.

AzDar Sez: Cheaters Can Go Straight To Hell!

[2naSalit]

11. It would appear that

the Bernie bunch don't want unity, only their way or the highway.

Maybe they should start their own party instead of coopting one they don't agree with... which is what they are doing.

Party crashers can go take a hike.

[AzDar]

13. Lie, Cheat, Steal...

[Plucketeer]

25. Exactly

Who wants unity at the expense of their self-esteem? Not me! I don't care what GENDER we end up with in the Oval Office. What I want is someone who'll stand up for the people - and not "people" as defined in Citizens United either. That leaves only ONE current candidate - and they're not of the feminine persuasion.

[LovingA2andMI]

38. Pretty Much...

It appears that way....

[Squinch]

48. You don't seem to be aware of this: those words are not synonyms for "Demolish your opponent

in the popular vote, in the delegate count, in the super delegate count, in practical progressive plans that will do wonders for the poor and middle class and in experience."

They mean different things. Lie, cheat and steal refers to things like hacking your opponent's data, lying about who is endorsing you and trying to get the rules changed for you because A) you were too pure to try to get the support of super delegates until it was too late, at which point you realized you needed them, and B) you didn't pay attention to the states' primary rules so you got caught with your thumb in your ass.

I'm glad I could clear that up for you!

[AzDar]

63. About as clear as Hillary's Bosnia Landing story...Hard to understand right/wrong when you

support that sort of shit, I guess...

[Squinch]

71. And how are BS's endorsement stories and union support stories better? How about that

meeting with the Pope at the Pope's invitation story?

[AzDar]

86. THIS is what you SUPPORT. Now, post Bernie's 'reel'...

[Squinch]

100. Oh, for fuck's sake, you really can't come up with anything new, can you? Here's the thing:

BS lost.

He lost because he was too pure to go after the supers until it was too late, and then he realized he needed them.

He lost because he was taken by surprise by the states' primary rules that have been in place for years.

He lost because, though people of color told him he was faltering with respect to them, he ignored them till it was too late.

He lost because, though he acknowledged that his supporters were rabid and were turning off voters, he never reined them in.

He lost because he could not answer foreign policy questions.

He lost because his "plans" were too obviously things that he pulled out of his ass and that had no prayer of ever being enacted.

He lost because he didn't do a good enough job of getting voters to vote for him.

He lost.

So I'll just back out of this "BS Supporter Loop" conversation and wish you a good evening.

[AzDar]

110. When ya got nothin'... it's better that way.

[rock]

111. "... he was taken by surprise by the states' primary rules that have been in place for years ..."

If the rules had been an iceberg they would have run over him.

[MFM008]

205. Squinch

thanks for the arrow into the bulls eye.

[kaleckim]

225. BS

polls better than she does versus Trump, is more liked, and more trusted than she is. If she runs against anyone other than Trump, she will be the most unpopular nominee in polling history. She is corrupt (largest donors over career are banks, been raking in money from corporate interests since the campaign started and has gotten more money from Wall Street than all the other candidates combined, she and her husband have gotten over three billion since they entered politics, and those interests have benefited from the policies they've supported). You all pretended to be against Citizens United, now you don't bother because you know how you'd look backing her and pretending to be against that. She has an extremely hawkish record and a center-right record on economic issues. The FBI is conducting an investigation and she could be indicted.

Sanders lost because he decided to run in a party where you could be all those things and still win the nomination (so what has the party become and what exactly do you stand for?), a party that doesn't care about her corruption, horrible poll numbers, or her center-right record. He ran in a party where the most progressive candidate in the race is far more popular with the general public than the that party. He also ran against a candidate with massive amounts of money and establishment support, and a person in the most powerful family in the party he decided to run in. He came from 60 points down to almost beat her.

He shouldn't support her in the coming election, don't bother, and work to form a third party at the national level that bring together the countless left of center parties across the country, and the millions of his supporters that wouldn't bother with your corrupt candidate and party. Stop pretending that people wanting to address and radically change structural inequality, corruption and a system that is leading us to ecological collapse can unite with people that don't want any of that. People shouldn't be united because they want to decide to be on the same team. That team should stand for something, how do you unite people so far apart logically, morally and ideologically? Isn't possible.

[Squinch]

230. Kay. So if it isn't possible, then bye.

[kaleckim]

238. Grow up

Prove you can have an adult conversation. If that's your answer, your corrupt candidate is toast in the GE, and she's essentially tied with the most unpopular candidate in polling history now nationally, and in a number of key swing states. Yes, electing the far better candidate is now almost impossible, thanks, great decision.

139. Boxer has done tons more for this county and women than BS could ever dream of

You people are so deluded.

[Retrograde]

220. and I think more than HC as well

She's been an active and highly visible senator for 24 years, usually on the more left side. I've had my differences with her at times, but she's usually come through as one of the more progressive senators, and if not for her age I think she'd be a better choice for VP for either Sanders or Clinton than Warren.

However, it seems more and more these days that if a person does not agree 100% on a specific set of issues the loud-mouthed purists are quick to discard and vilify them.

14. 2 thoughts -

1. Why was Boxer (D-CA) in the NEVADA Dem caucus in the first place?
2. Her "admonition" (“the future of the country is at stake. When you boo me, you’re booing Bernie Sanders. Go ahead. You’re booing Bernie Sanders.”) is COMPLETELY NONSENSICAL.

and why is it that whenever Bernie supporters lose, they don't wait one second before they get accusations of fraud flying?

49. Seems like

it's bunch of folks who like to argue about things they don't really understand. And they seem, also, to think that throwing a temper tantrum will get them what they want even if it bear no relevance to the process yet they cry when due process isn't practiced.

to speak as neither bernie nor Hillary were present. Now you know there is no need to make an issue of them being in NV.

I am glad that Barbara stood up the bully behavior of some of the Sanders fans at the convention. You would not like it if Hillary fans had tried to drown out Nina Turner as she tried to speak for Bernie.

[yourpaljoey]

20. Sanders supporters are finally saying 'enough is enough!'

[riversedge]

62. But the adult in the room---Barbara Boxer set the whinners straight....

NevadaSenator Barbara Boxer's response to Bernie supporters booing at the Nevada convention: (self.hillaryclinton)

submitted 3 hours ago by piede#ImWithHer

"Boo yourself out of this election. Hillary won Nevada. If you boo me, you're booing Bernie because he's my friend. So boo me as loud as you want. Go ahead. I was born in Brooklyn and I'm not afraid of bullies!"

Senator Boxer not having it.

79. Yeah. That's what they're saying. LOL.

[MisterP]

22. Trump wants Clinton

[jamese777]

28. And Clinton wants Trump

so they'll both be happy come the general election.

[madville]

210. The entire Republican party needs Hillary on the ticket

It's a boost to them in Senate and House races, even without the pending FBI investigation.

I'm watching the Sunday shows this morning and it felt odd at first, the Republicans and other Trump supporters are just chatting about Trump, I heard one Republican make a 5 second comment to Keith Ellison along the lines of "your side has it's own batch of problems with it's candidate" and Keith laughed and agreed. That was the entire extent of talk about Hillary on the whole show.

Then I realized, all the Trump people and other Republicans are laying off Hillary for awhile in a coordinated way.

Once the conventions are over it's going to get insane.

[c588415]

26. proud Californian who just voted for Clinton, and Harris via "absentee ballot" today.

[2naSalit]

57. +1!

[demwing]

60. Go Clinton! No..really. Go. Now.

Just take your legal woes and go back home.

[ejbr]

96. !!

[Purveyor]

32. I seriously doubt that the broken pieces of the DNC can be put back

together again.

The only glimmer of hope we have for retaining the WH is Trump himself. It sure as hell is going to come for a 'united' party.

[riversedge]

226. Yes, hope is gone unless Sanders fans start acting like adults.

[Purveyor]

228. Oh I'm sure all the 'charm and grace' of the clinton camp will bring them back in droves.

[glowing]

42. The "little people" are just about fed up with the way things are run!

The way many of us see things, on the right and the left, with anti-establishment candidates; especially so with Bernie Sander's, which is truly a method that would arrest power and money from those in charge of everything now, this is a moment in our lives to do things peacefully and within "the rules".

We literally have a candidate that isn't bought and is speaking to the needs of most of this country. Those standing in the way will be remembered. And I'm not so sure the youth will continue to "play" inside their rule book. They are getting anything anyway; why not burn it all down.

This could truly be the last chance the PTB have for allowing more people into the system and shoring up some fairness... But no, they are enclaved in their bubbles and truly have no clue how the next 10 years could be a smoother transition into a socialized democracy or absolute violent chaos.

Clueless idiots!!'

[Squinch]

61. The "little people" have overwhelmingly shown they prefer Clinton.

[BillZBubb]

163. Yep, just like republicans, voting against their own interests.

[Squinch]

168. .

You guys just seem incapable of posting anything but tone deaf and deluded talking points.

[xloadiex]

43. The Dem party is shooting themselves

in the foot with this cheating. It has fired up a whole lot of people. I guess the way things are going to be fixed she doesn't need their votes. It's a good thing because now I see more than ever saying this was the final straw and she will never get their vote.

[Duval]

82. I believe the Democratic Party has already shot themselves in the foot.

Are they still not allowing Bernie supporters into the coronation/errr, Convention?

[riversedge]

84. There has been no cheating!! Now you know the truth.

[yurbud]

197. they think the dem base will roll over the way dem pols did when Bush cheated

But we've got more at stake than they do.

[JPnoodleman]

45. Hey, suddenly "We are all Democrats!" What a sea change from "They aren't real!" n/t

[beastie boy]

51. What a bunch of spoiled children!

They lose, and that's reason enough for them to start throwing around accusations of foul play!

Not only in Nevada, but here on DU too.

219. The most immature outburst from either side so far

And it came from an elected official. Everyone should watch the video of Boxer's outburts, the qoutes don't do it justice. Booing doesn't justify her lashing out and trying to incite the whole room into chaos. The only bullie I seen in the video is Boxer.

[lunamagica]

69. Now Sen. Boxer will switch to Bernie in to time!

The Sanders cam sure knows how to make friends and influence people!

[Loki]

73. I am ashamed.

If you want to behave like this, join the Republican Party.

[chillfactor]

83. so this is what we have to look for in July....

bernie supporters are really a disgrace.....they make me sick.

[RazBerryBeret]

108. sick...

geez... so they should just go along and let the rules change mid game without complaint, right? should just stop trying? probably shouldn't have run in the first place, then Hillary would have a clear path with no hurdles. These comments are GREAT.

[PatrickforO]

88. Sanders supporters will and should

fight back anytime they think they are getting cheated. And they will keep fighting all the way to and through the convention.

[beastie boy]

117. Losing and getting cheated is not synonymous.Tthrowing tantrums and fighting back is not synonymous.

[liberal N proud]

91. Bernie plan B is off to a bad start just like plan A

They didn't win in votes, so they tried to steal it in convention then play victim when that fails.

If BS can't even do this, how in the #^@/ do you think he could stand up to Trump?

[RichVRichV]

186. How did they try to steal it?

Hillary supporters did not show up for the second round. How is that Bernie's or his supporters fault?

[Trajan]

94. I would boo Boxer

I would boo my own Democratic Senator, Ron Wyden ...

These 'establishment' Democrats are Quislings who have helped the right wing degrade the Middle Class for decades now ....

They deserve to get booed ....

[RazBerryBeret]

102. Eyewitness report

?1


when you change the rules in the middle of the game you should expect to get boos. sorry, Barbara Boxer or not. Regardless of your intention it doesn't make you appear honest and trustworthy...

[yourpaljoey]

103. More Hill dirty tricks, and caught red-handed!

[pengu]

124. They cheat every single chance they get

[SammyWinstonJack]

148. So, keep changing the rules until you get the results you want.....sounds very republican....

[nenagh]

157. Thank you, RazBerryBeret...

Pyrrhic victory, no doubt.

[RichVRichV]

188. Wow!

There has been cheating going on the whole way, but it has not been that blatant and in our faces before. The DNC and state parties can't even follow their own rules that they set up. They are determined to tear our party apart.

[Angel Martin]

214. they need to get Villaraigosa to make it "official"

[apcalc]

105. Booing fellow Democrats

Unacceptable.

Boorish thugs.

[RazBerryBeret]

109. Look at Post 102

and reconsider who are the boorish thugs. Wanna talk about unacceptable?

[apcalc]

115. Yes, actually I do.

You don't like it? Form your own party.

[RazBerryBeret]

118. There's that ray of sunshine

that you Hillary supporters are known for!!! I knew it was there somewhere.

[pengu]

126. How about you get out of my party?

[apcalc]

173. I was here first guarantee it.

[trudyco]

191. Exactly.

[kiva]

146. Were you here?

No? Then you have no clue about what's happening here.

[Mesee]

113. Boxer and Clinton are related.

Roger Clinton was married to Barbara Boxer's daughter.

[Firebrand Gary]

121. Lame.

[w4rma]

122. There is no way that they could "win" their 2/3's vote on that rule change with almost half & half.

Half supporters against and half opposed.

The Clintonistas are Stalinistas. They really do agree with Stalin in that "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."

[Angel Martin]

216. there is a precedent

see #214

"The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."

[jamese777]

130. And so it goes...

in 2008 it was Hillary's supporters accusing the Obama campaign of cheating. In ths year's Republican race, it was supporters of Cruz and Kasich accusing Trump of cheating.
Which ever candidate is behind ALWAYS accuses the leading side of election fraud but PROVING it is a whole different story from making the accusation.

[Skwmom]

132. No Barbara, you are disrespecting Bernie Sanders and his supporters.

[TomCADem]

194. As Bernie Said, Superdelegates Should Follow Pop Vote!!!

And I believe Bernie won the Nevada primary!

[snort]

138. Fuck this process.

The Queen shall be anointed. The alternative is even worse and what a plan that is. Elect me because the asshole trump. That right there is some tasty Democracy.

[frylock]

147. Your Party is a fucking hot mess.

[Democat]

208. What's your party, Republican or Libertarian?

And what are you doing at Democratic Underground?

[frylock]

218. I'm registered as No Party Preference.

I'm here at Democratic Underground to antagonize conservative authoritarians. So how you doing?

[grasswire]

153. why was Boxer there????????

Primary her.

[YvonneCa]

167. She's retiring. :(

[JEB]

193. I guess a primary is off the table.

[YvonneCa]

217. ...

...

[grasswire]

155. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE nt

[Cryptoad]

160. AFter Bern lost to Hillary

his supporters have been given a dose of their own Karaaaaaaama! makes me smirk!

[onecaliberal]

161. They sure are working hard to elect trump.

[harun]

212. Nice to see I am not alone in that opinion

All Clinton and the Third wayers need to do is throw us a few Progressive bones and we would be with them. However, they are too addicted to their Corpo-dollars to do it.

So.... screw them.

[onecaliberal]

215. I don't know what's going to happen because people really are fed up.

[bunnies]

165. People here always say DU is a bubble.

Apparently not.

[NewImproved Deal]

176. Boxer's daughter, Nichole, is married to Clinton's brother, Tony Rodham.

Does our Oligarchy get any more incestuous? The Sanders voters were right to Boo the open corruption of that Clinton Machine hack...

[link:|

[Pastiche423]

183. They were divorced in 2000.

[TwilightZone]

184. It depends on what your definition of "is" is.

You're about 15 years behind the curve.

[The Second Stone]

195. Keep it classy bros!

I really hope that Sanders figures out where the future of his movement is and clearly tells his supporters.

[6000eliot]

196. Remember when you were a child and a common response to losing was to yell "He cheated?"

Remember that?

[winter is coming]

229. In this case, it's a response to actual cheating.

Anyone who tells you different is lying.

[Demsrule86]

213. Bernie supporters probably just lost California for their candidate

Treating Barbara Boxer so disrespectfully is terrible behavior.

[RandySF]

227. I just have one question.

How did Sanders delegates expect to participate after changing their voter registrations from Democrat to something else?

[JEB]

237. Here ya go...
