2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie and his campaign are not 'demoralized', it's the voters because of election fraud
Both camps have deflated. Not just Bernie. The media ads are down, blogs are down. At first all thought it was Bernie's make or break NY.
NY was/is not make or brake. But there was fraud. Notice how it's not 24/7 in the media, like O.J. or the 2000 race?
We now know they are using electronics to control our elections. We have taken the proof many times in the past, to congress. All has been displayed here.
Hillary supporters just carry on like it's still about delegates, 'hurting the party', and 'when will Bernie get out'. It's as if the fraud never happened.
It doesn't matter what candidate it hurt, but who did it. They should be held accountable. The counting of provisional ballots can not make this NY primary 'right'. What about those turned away, who did not cast a vote because they were told they could not? You can't make it right. I wish they'd throw the results out! Take those delegates out of the final math.
No one should take NY. There was cheating, fraud. It won't really be sought out and people held accountable over the time it usually takes.
So everyone, the Hillary supporters, the media, and even Bernie supporters who have moved on to the 'platform' and other arguments, are ignoring what has just sucked out the momentum out of this race. It was like no other in Bernie excitement. Notice the funk? It's because of the fraud. People don't like to talk about it, to live where you know they are doing this. (All studied)
You will see a much lower voter turnout now, and just please remember why. Nothing should be moving forward ,....NOTHING, until there is a NY resolution.
And Hillary supporters should remember:
Winners don't quit, and Quitters don't win!
There is an elephant in the room. IT'S NAME IS ELECTION FRAUD.
Not so pleased to meet you, once again.
Because Hillary just takes her wins, while the lawyers rush in, I will not be voting for her. Ever.

Please explain?

(685 posts)And by not voting for the democratic nominee you in effect, complete the circle of their deception?
If voters' registrations were forged or switched, if voters were illegally purged, how can you unequivocally say that only Bernie supporters were effected? Because of the number of anecdotal posts in a particular site?
Wasn't the woman who was suspended, Diane Haslett-Rudiano, a Republican? You think they randomly suspended her, no investigation no nothing because hey, no one will look into that any further, right? Or is it just possible there was some paper trail back to her that hasn't yet been made public?
But go ahead and believe that all the voter fraud and disenfranchisement done is the work of Hillary Clinton et al and not the work of republicans who invented the term "ratfucking"...

(3,133 posts)This IS going to happen to Hillary.
I have already said, I will not donate services for the outcome, as I usually do. I do it for those who stand up to it, and want it resolved.
So I'll take it the Hillary camp doesn't give a shit. She will in the end...but you obviously don't know that work. I won't do it for her, as her tears, yours, will be too late.
So there. It is now, not in the end, I will not feel pity for you.

(3,133 posts)CNN changed the exit polling as they did in Ohio in 2004, perverted it.
Bernie was only down 4pts. before adding fraud. So....it was probably a real squeaker for both....which is YUGE for Bernie, and horrible for her home state. This is why this happened, along with corporate winning.
If you want to learn a little about that, look at this congressional testimony from the man in 04 responsible for the exit polling.
I had two, not one friend, call me to say the exit polling with numbers of voters just changed on CNN. WTF? So I sent them this congressional fraud refresher.
Start at the 1:10 mark....if you don't have time for such matters as these:

(24,411 posts)And yes, there has been rampant cheating--voter suppression, electronic cheating, cheating in the caucuses, voters who were denied their right to vote, voters who had their registrations switched, voters who were knocked off the rolls, exit polls that didn't match the final results and favored Clinton by multiple points.
This election has been a real eye opener for many Democrats who are Bernie supporters.
Our party will never be the same.
Many Hillary supporters know very well that she has cheated. They don't care. They could care less if we support Hillary. They know that she can steal the GE.
It's batshit crazy that the topics that Democratic DUers used to rally against furiously--election fraud, warmongering, are now being accepted and defended by half of our party.

(1,820 posts)...big and really not fixable due to state rights issues. I feel all primaries should be the same. Generally I find it hard to even understand caucuses. Biput then I have never participated in one either.
The bottom line is that the rules are Herr to keep the "rabble" out of the process. All parties, including the Democrats fear the poor so the resist the ability of the common man. Voting should be a week long and by mail, local polls and phone. So all have a chance to vote. And of course way less money. Politics are now an industry mostly for the rich!
ViseGrip
(3,133 posts)People are tired of it. I've worked on this for 12 years, in several states. I've lobbied in D.C. I've shown them proof! Then it was the republicans.
So let me tell you, I'm even more angry it's now the democrats. It's the setting of the pre-programmed memory cards, across the U.S.
Some thought this would get fixed. Now that this has happened, and it's so much easier to look at data in a primary, their first mistake.
But as I said, the lawsuits will wind around in the winner's second or the first term on the NEXT prez, after this one. I call it, GAME OVER.
I can't spend time, donate money and both for this cause anymore.
I look at the power structure here and around the world, and I know what I'm looking at. That's why the no vote for Hillary line.....

(3,133 posts)and make people like you care. But like I said, you don't and you won't and neither will your candidate. I worked for senator Kerry and went after HIM for not talking about it, or joining the suit. It's not just Hillary, and it's not just the republicans. It's anyone who will not stand up to this shit.
Harvard says USA is 49 in elections of developed countries. Care about that?
Yale says, NY is 49 in the country with the results and fraud so far.
American's ignoring this, are American's who can't handle democracy and stand up for it. We see people stand up around the world....but not here. No, I don't discriminate. If it rat fucks you, then know YOU as a citizen have work to do....by and for the people.

So they were fixed. Cuz the proof was there in the original count.
That is why you keep seeing them fix it and Bernie gets another delegate or two or three.
Now, it's funny, not a result was ever changed for Hillary.
Funny, (not really) the judge in NY who would hear each case and decide, never heard ONE I tried to vote for Hillary complaint out of 100.
That is a voting anomaly. Primaries are electronically tabulated.

brooklynite
(96,882 posts)PHOENIX Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will not challenge the results of Arizonas problematic presidential primary, an attorney for his campaign told The Associated Press on Friday.
The campaign had considered contesting the results of the March 22 election because of serious problems in the states largest county, including hours-long lines and the rejection of about 20,000 provisional ballots.
That amounted to about 80 percent of those cast, mainly by registered independents not allowed to vote in the states closed primary.
We concluded that an election contest is too narrow and restricting a venue to address the widespread problems in Maricopa County that occurred on Election Day and disenfranchised tens of thousands of Arizona voters, attorney Chris Sautter said.
So, he sold out his voters, and THEN joined the DNC lawsuit (nb - I had a meeting with the DNC Director that day and got the details directly)

The citizens have already shown, they will do nothing.
Right now, the investigation is in the 'dog and pony' stage.
If anything would be changed there...arrest or fire anyone, it would be on TV. There is a blackout on this....for 14 years, bigger than Bernie's media blackout. For real.
redstateblues
(10,565 posts)Anytime Bernie loses its a conspiracy. Bernie's media blackout? The media love a horse race- they have kept Bernie propped up for months. All they care about is ratings and ad revenue. They could care less who wins as long as the $$ continues to roll in. Bernie has plenty and they want him to spend it.

Ha ha, Conyers ran the committee....a sham! Then he was caught up in his OWN corruption scandal. Remember? Is this ratfucking? Facts on corruption are just that. The investigation cannot be trusted.
They already know, the people are not going into a real spring, when the voting machines give you results that deviate from exit polling.

bkkyosemite
(5,792 posts)all that matters. Fraud, corruption, evil to them is a tin foil hat. The citizens are waking up to the crap that has been going on for years. It's time we realize this Country is being manipulated for the 1% and the slave class has been used over and over. That's why Bernie says we need a people's revolution and many many thousands upon thousands are supporting him and above all his issues and have woken up. And as your statement in you OP says...It is the fraud that is causing the low turnout and the moral problem. We do not have free elections. We are 49th...disgusting.

(30,518 posts)What was the fraud, that they have closed primaries and the deadline to declare party affiliation was in October? Well, if people can't be bothered to check their state rules, don't blame the state.
As much as it may pain you and some others, the simple reason why Hillary is winning the nomination is that more Democrats are voting for her than are voting for Sanders.
As for your vote, keep it.
