DNC Leaders Flee Building As Sanders Supporters Demand Recount

I watched it on live feed and the woman had to actually run for her life, protected by the police. Sanders supporters then published her private phone number in /s4p.... Shell likely get harassed to hell by them for standing up to bullies. That campaign has become a fucking joke.

(10,287 posts)Do you believe they all changed registration together after being allowed to participate(which means their registration was ok then) in the first round?
Or is that about the least likely thing that happened?

(841 posts)Sanders supporters are observed considering a sit-in in Ashley's video, but hotel security forced them out, saying "it is now in the hands of the attorneys."
"Please leave peacefully," the security officers said. "Please leave, it is not safe here."
"If we do not leave, it becomes a big issue," said one Sanders supporter. "I'm not leaving."
At one point, Ashley loses the video connection, but audio remains. "I don't know if you can see this," she says. "I don't know if you can hear this, but there are twenty armed sheriffs here to help them steal the election... They're saying leave now or else."
After minute nine of the above video, Ashley asks someone what is going on: "We've got 620 viewers here, you have nothing to say?"
"The guy that is speaking is not a member of the DNC, he is head of security for Paris [hotel]. He says he is a dedicated --I don't know if he is a Democrat," someone responds. "But the election process, and please leave. It is not safe here. And by it is not safe here, I expect he means all those sheriffs at the front of the room... They are asking us to 'leave the private property at this time.' This should be national news. This needs to be national news."
Eventually they shut the lights off to get the Sanders supporters out.

(20,176 posts)I mean, I'm cynical as fuck...but generally I think preventing a coup d'etat is inherently a moral act. That's what I watched...a fucking coup d'etat. At this point, Clinton has lost all legitimacy. Any act to deny her the nomination or disrupt her candidacy unto its destruction is a legitimate act.

workinclasszero
(28,270 posts)Good to know I guess.
Its still vandalism what ever was used has no bearing on the act at all.
tex-wyo-dem
(3,190 posts)That requires money to fix and is therefore a financial loss to the victim. If it had been spray paint or etching in the wall i would think differently. Chalk, which will be gone with the first rain or high wind is no big deal.

(1,166 posts)take over of the convention as well. It's very easy to come on here and spin what happened into something other than what happened; however, the lengthy video record of what actually happened is all over the internet and no amount of spinning is going to change what is on those videos. You know that it is completely untrue that Roberta Gustave Lange had to run for her life. She shut down the convention without a proper vote and did so without calling a vote for the motion that was passed for a recount. She banged her gavel and booked out of there because she knew what she did was against the rules.

(55,894 posts)From stealing data, impersonating union workers, misappropriating logos, massive violations of FEC regulations month after month. Sending unqualified delegates.
The fact law enforcement needed to show in Nevada because Sanders supporters were trying to overturn election results shows how screwed up they are.
Stay in a DU/reddit bubble.
It's probably safer that way for the 99.9% of the rest of us who are rational.

Eric J in MN
(35,619 posts)Delegates were there for 16 hours. Plenty of time to count ballots. There was no need to decide by voice-vote whether to change the rules.
Instead, the NV Democratic Party had a phony voice vote on changing the rules, and pretended that more people said Aye than Nay, when the opposite was true.
R B Garr
(16,950 posts)and then they demanded a recount. LOL, that's what passes for "revolution".
It's really unbelievable that people fall for these absolutely staged, phony hissy fits just to maintain a persecution/victim narrative.
