Convention ended w/security shutting it down, Bernie folks rushed stage, yelling obscenities, throwing chairs. Unity Now! On to Philly 2/2

@atdleft @RalstonReports bottles were also thrown at the stage. Had to escort women out fearing 4 their life. This has no place in politics.

1. Funny how people get mad when you cheat them. n/t

[merbex]

2. The fact that people can still GET angry when being cheated is heartening.

The 1% thinks we are just supposed to take it lying down.

[factfinder_77]

4. that would be as crazy as Bernie not being registered Dem.

[Jester Messiah]

11. Derp.

As if Clinton's surrogates haven't been playing dirty tricks with flipping peoples' registrations all along. Notwithstanding that that's the lamest, flimsiest bullshit heard yet in a primary filled to the brim with the stuff.

[Hoyt]

32. Sure, they magically figured out Sanders' supporters, got access to system, and "flipped"

them without being detected.

Heck, maybe when Sanders's staffers hacked into the system months ago, they flipped the wrong switch.

[JSup]

44. One of them...

...re-registered as Independent (in disgust over the Democratic Party) after the caucus in Feb.; guess he didn't realize he needed to stay (D) to be a delegate.

[Hoyt]

45. Good find. I suspect there's a similar explanation for most, if not all.

Ani it ain't Clinton is cheating.

[KingFlorez]

13. So violence is ok?

And no one was cheated. The results of the caucus in February were only confirmed at the convention.

[northernsouthern]

15. You do know they cheated right?

or when it helps you it is ok?

[KingFlorez]

19. There was no cheating

Just because Sanders lost doesn't mean there was cheating.

[Jester Messiah]

55. Nooooo, surely not.

I don't know how you people look at yourselves in the mirror every morning.

[Adrahil]

41. There was no cheating.

The delegates no seated were not Democrats.

[JDPriestly]

33. A friend of mine who attended the caucus said that wasn't fair either.

Seems the Democratic Party is resisting the inevitable change that is on its way.

The millennial love Bernie. Do those of us who love Bernie have to create our own party? Is that the message of the DNC?

Because io have been a Democrat all my 72 years, and I would hate to have to change, but Bernie is my candidate. Hillary is not.

[Demsrule86]

23. Bernie cheated

He lost Nevada...sorry...you all got exactly what you deserved.

[JDPriestly]

34. Could you elaborate? Precisely how did Bernie cheat?

[itsrobert]

3. Bernie supporters couldn't steal it this time

So they threw the monopoly board and pieces across the table and into the wall.

[Jester Messiah]

5. There is so much wrong with that statement.

Black is white, up is down, in is out.

[brush]

8. No. I caucused in Vegas on election day and Clinton supporters clearly outnumbered Sanders . . .

supporters.

I was there. You obviously were not or you wouldn't post what you did.

He lost Nevada and last night's results justly reflected that.

What those sour grapes Sanders supporters did last night was shameful.

[JDPriestly]

38. As I understand it, the Hillary crowd changed the rules on a voice vote before Bernie's

delegates were even in the room. And as I heard it the voice vote was not a majority.

If Hillary really expects Bernie supporters to vote for her, she is going to have to control her representatives, delegates and machines at the state level.

I like the fact that Bernie has no machine. Sooner or later the Clinton machine will expose itself for what it is. I would like to think that the Democratic Party can survive that exposure.

[Sejon]

6. The starving French peasants used the guillotene to execute their corrupt political class

I guess they should have just quietly starved to death to avoid offending anybody.

[Demsrule86]

24. How about just leave?

The caucus was over and the hotel wanted them out.

[Starry Messenger]

26. These folks look like they eat on the regular.

[Sejon]

29. That's not the point

[Starry Messenger]

31. Maybe ratchet down the drama, and people will take points seriously.

[Sejon]

36. The point is

There are circumstances when extreme measures have a place.

[Starry Messenger]

39. Like when your side lost, and you need to have a tantrum about it?

[Sejon]

42. No, because there were clearly some irregularities

If you lose because the other side cheated, it's ok to be angry about that.

[Starry Messenger]

43. It isn't cheating when delegates aren't registered as the correct party for their delegation.

That's called learning to follow directions.

[Recursion]

27. The actual starving peasants revolted against the richer revolutionary urban sans-coulottes

And were massacred mostly by gunfire and bayonet from the revolutionary army in the countryside.

Lots of things Americans get wrong about the French Revolution, really. It started when the urban working class started to see the rural working class begin to catch up to them; even though the urban working class was doing (slightly) better than they were a decade before, they didn't like the peasants catching up with them.

[annavictorious]

37. I wouldn't compare aggrieved cheaters

whose delegate theft didn't make it past the second round to starving peasants.

But then again, I have a grasp on reality.

[polly7]

7. People don't like being cheated. nt.

[CorkySt.Clair]

9. Didn't Bernie lose Nevada back in Feb?

By 5 pts if i recall.

[JoePhilly]

46. Correct.

[KingFlorez]

10. Digging a hole too deep to escape

At this point Sanders supporters and Trump supporters are no better when it comes to violence.

[NewImproved Deal]

12. Those Rabble!

[link:|

[Demsrule86]

25. Calling Barbara Boxer a bitch

Is certainly rabble like behavior.

[Fawke Em]

16. See you in Philly.

BTW, I suggest reading "How to Make Friends and Influence People" in the meantime.

Calling Sanders supporters names isn't endearing your corporate war hawk candidate.

[Live and Learn]

17. And you didn't believe us when we said the revolution is right around the corner.

People will not put up with the cheating, stealing and ruining of lives for much longer.

Bernie tried to prevent it by using the political process for change but they couldn't even allow that without obvious cheating.

[Demsrule86]

28. cheating was on your side

She won Nevada. Bernie is so beatable ...there would be no need even for Republicans to cheat.

[SFnomad]

18. BS cheerleaders ... acting more like thugs n/t

[politicaljunkie41910]

20. Bernie is the one responsible for this mess. This is what happens when you get a bunch of

immature, no-nothings all riled up calling for a revolution. The political revolution he needed never showed up but his gang of followers did. He then claimed that he would take his fight all the way to the convention when he's known all along that he had no real path to victory but to try and get delegates to switch from Hillary to himself even if he were behind at the end by continuing to claim that he had the momentum. Instead what he had was a bunch of bullies.

He said in the Townhall Meeting with Chris Matthews last month that it was up to Hillary to convince his supporters to vote for her and then proceeded to give a long list of demands, that echoed his platform. That is not someone who ever planned on conceding that he had lost and she had won. Bernie is responsible for this mess that he caused. He knew what he was dealing with a long time ago. He's the one who gets these folks all riled up at his rallies and encourages that booing of Hillary. You can't throw gasoline on a fire and then claim no responsibility to the damage that results.

[Demsrule86]

30. I am more and more convinced

That Bernie wants the Democrats to lose in the fall.

[skylucy]

40. politicaljunkie---Yes. Amen.

[catnhatnh]

21. Ralston?

I see plenty of printed claims-so we know he has a phone. Where is the video??? I mean this guy is right there at the Siege of Firebase Fuckdemocracy with the screaming horde making human wave attacks and hurling bottles so he takes exactly 0 pictures and proves exactly jack shit.....

I begin to smell bullshit.

[bunnies]

22. He's been asked repeatedly for proof yet provides none.

Since you're spreading this, I'm sure YOU have video, right?

[Tarc]

35. The nerve of non-Democrats being barred from being Democratic delegates

for Sanders, the candidate who did not actually win the state.

[snowy owl]

47. Yes! Love it! Raise hell when corruption occurs. I'm all for revolution. It is about time.

Time to make a difference even if it means waking people up first.

[Bill USA]

48. can't tell Bernie groupies from Trumpsters

[Fla Dem]

49. Unfortunately, that's becoming truer by the day.

[Alfresco]

50. kick

[mcar]

51. They seem nice

[dchill]

52. And Clinton folks cheated.

Calls for a little chair and bottle action. "This has no place in politics," either.

[vintx]

53. Where's the video?

[hootinholler]

54. Performance Art

You either get it or you don't.

Personally I love the irony, kudos.
