So sad that some of the Bernie fans have to engulf themselves in silly conspiracy theories.

It is self delusion. It is paranoia. It is void of reality. It is truly crazy stuff. That is the only way to describe these conspiracy theories about a "rigged primary" and "fraud" and all the rest of that nonsense.

Hillary is ahead by three million popular votes and well over two hundred pledged delegates. Those are the cold hard facts. And yet, confronted with this, they still insist those numbers are a result of "fraud" and a "rigged system" and "corruption" and all the rest of that crackpot nonsense. It is truly crazy.

Whether they are on the far right or the far left, there are some out there on those fringes who simply insist on placing their minds in delusion land and on some other ridiculous planet entirely void of reality. It is so pathetic.

1. It IS another planet, with its own gravity and time and weather.

Uncomfortably nutty.

[RBInMaine]

2. Yup. Sheer delusion.

3. It's all they have left to explain why Hillary is winning.

4. the generation of zombie tv and movie watchers? To be expected to rationalize why their candidate h

has lost

[liberal N proud]

5. Fruad is one conspiracy they have held onto shortly after losing their first primary

They are so sure of themselves that they thought they would be able to push BS down everyone's throat. They don't think rules are to be followed and just want to crash the party and eat the cake too.

6. It's all they've got

Sanders is doing nothing to educate his fans. He can't control the mob he's created with his hate talk because they've taken it to heart and have run with it.

[Her Sister]

7. He is not educating! He is not training! He is not leading!

...

[stopbush]

8. It is Sanders who tells them the system is rigged, and rigged

against him.

The delusions and the violence flow directly from Sanders' own mouth and words. He is responsible for what happened in NV over the weekend. No one else.

9. An interesting study

This makes some sense of the absurd.
