(Hillary Group)Bernie Sanders Fans Take Massive Dump On Nevada Democratic Convention Floor

Bernie Sanders Fans Take Massive Dump On Nevada Democratic Convention Floor

After hours spent trying to figure out why Bernie Sanders delegates were screaming that the Democrats had stolen the (Democratic!) convention, we’re still a little hazy, and Jon Ralston has yet to weigh in at his blog. But here’s what seems to have happened, as near as we can tell.

Hillary Clinton won Nevada’s caucuses by almost five points, and both candidates were awarded delegates to the county conventions. Bernie Sanders’s delegates out-appeared Hillary Clinton’s delegates at the county conventions, where delegates would be awarded for the state convention. (This process is so dumb you guys. So fucking dumb. JUST GIVE THEM THE DELEGATES BASED ON HOW MANY CAUCUS VOTES THEY GOT JESUS H FUCKING CHRIST.) But at the state convention, about an equal number of Hillary Clinton’s folks showed up as did Bernie Sanders’s. And of the Bernie folks who showed up, sixty had unregistered as Democrats. Whoops that meant they were not allowed to vote at the DEMOCRATIC convention! So fixed! Many corruptions! Oh god I hate everyone.

So then they went insane. They screamed at Barbara Boxer that she was a sellout bitch and did their best to boo the four-foot-nothing liberal grandma lion off the stage. They did their goddamndest to shut the whole thing down, because how is it even kosher for Hillary Clinton to get more delegates just because she won, when they had stolen it fair and square?

And these types of articles are what's going to happen if the more..exuberant..of the Sanders people keep this shit up. We will see how that works out for them.

Most Sanders supporters will vote Hillary to stop Trump because they are actual progressives and not libertarian/Paulites/Naderites/Greens/Anarchists

You guys know Wonkette is officially neutral in the Democratic primary. Evan and I are bought-and-paid-for neolib corporate piece of shit Hillary shills; Dok and Robyn and Shy are fine upstanding citizens who support Bernie. We don’t know who Intern Dominic is backing, but judging by some comments in the chatcave it is whoever can give him the spanking he so richly deserves. (That would be Hillary then.)

These Bernie supporters are NOT Dems, only registered to vote for Bernie in the caucus (for whatever reason), and what they plan to do from now on is to continue to disrupt the Dem primaries because they didn't get their way.

Hillary will do just fine without them and their ilk.

they had no business being at the first caucus. Same goes for the delegates they couldn't identify.

I am not a Democrat, so I did not attend the county convention in Maui, but a friend who did told me he had to rescue Sen. Schatz from an aggressive Bernie Bro who cornered him and demanded he change his superdelegate pick.

I am a democrat.

I've had it with the antidemocratic Sandersistas, and unless Sanders comes out with a clear statement by tomorrow that he wants this crap ended, I'm writing him off as another fascist who chose the wrong party.

I would have loved to have seen my Senator Schatz's reaction!

Mahalo, Lisa~
