Related: About this forum"Bernie Sanders Refuses To Admit There's a Problem....
...With His Fanatical Supporters"
They threw chairs and shouted obscenities at the Nevada Democratic Convention. Now they're inundating the head of the state party with misogynist death threats. Bernie Sanders won't even acknowledge the problem -- which means he should bear the blame.
When you reach a certain age it's difficult to imagine wanting to see time actually speed up. And yet there hasn't yet been a word or phrase coined in the English language that would allow me to properly express to you just how badly I want it to be July 29th already. That's because, beginning on that date, the morning after the end of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, I likely never have to write the name Bernie Sanders ever again. The convention will be over; Hillary Clinton will have accepted the Democratic nomination and given an address that both called out the grave threat facing the country in Donald Trump and declared unity to be the only way forward; and Bernie Sanders will have been relegated back to the Senate, where, if his recent behavior is any indication of his inevitable fate, he'll be ostracized and rendered powerless for trying to hijack the Democratic party and putting the country at risk in the name of satisfying his own ego. Hopefully, smart, sane people will prevail and Sanders will have fucked himself.

Then when votes came up it was a no-brainer where the majority was. If the delegates at the convention wants to be angry then be angry at the delegates who did not show up. Be angry at voters who goes to rallies but does not turn out on primary day.

This really should come back to bite him.. he's living in a fantasy world..
and Bernie Sanders will have been relegated back to the Senate, where, if his recent behavior is any indication of his inevitable fate, he'll be ostracized and rendered powerless for trying to hijack the Democratic party and putting the country at risk in the name of satisfying his own ego.

Sounds like Chez Pazienza and I are on the same page.
"It is imperative that the Democratic leadership, both nationally and in the states, understand that the political world is changing and that millions of Americans are outraged at establishment politics and establishment economics," it begins, right off the bat putting the onus on the Democratic party to tolerate Sanders's disciples' inchoate rage rather than calling upon the disciples themselves to behave like adults.
Like the whining about President Obama when he wanted to have him primaried in 2012.. it was disingenuous bullshite then and it is now.. there are Millions more who aren't buying what he's selling.
Thank you for this, Walk away.. I had a whole post written down earlier and my network connection broke and I lost it..
So here I am again.. doing it all over but probably not as good as I was the first time.

statement that didn't condemn the violence and the misogyny.
