2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHow Hillary Clinton won the Democratic nomination.
She used the very dishonest, underhanded, unethical strategy of getting a lot more votes than anyone else.
It's an outrage! Who does she think she is, convincing so many people to vote for her?
Since when do we let people who get more votes than anyone else win elections?
I don't see how any self-respecting progressive can just stand by while the Democratic party nominates the person who the voters chose by a large margin. What is this country coming to?

(30,058 posts)Sanders, it is We the people speaking. She is the most qualified candidate running. All the RW talking points does nit change the fact she has more occasions to do progressive ideas than Sanders.

(1,237 posts)It's ok, were all aware that you have a burning itch to spread a false talking point. Kinda says it all when you post memos without reading the first sentence. I'll let you get back to attacking people for using talking points

Bring in the lawyers (clowns might work, too). She's won the nomination with more votes and more pledged delegates. How unfair; now undemocratic!

Did the Hillary Campaign fire Bill Clinton for campaigning INSIDE a voting station in Massachusetts and using a Bull horn to campaign at the front door of another?

(90,304 posts)... work and that stinks too.
Cause listening is horrible
Sanders on the other hand told those same people that their REAL boogyman was was the same as the privileged and elites and they should be scared.

(394 posts)Sanders is unelectable. GOP has not even started on branding him a deranged Socialist. GOP wet dream to see Sanders as nominee. Remember, Americans have 5 second attention span. They will turn on Sanders in an instant. Hillary has 25 years of attacks baked in. Plus she is the most qualified person to run for president in 50 years. I trust her to do what is good for America.

(180 posts)under investigation with the fbi and could be spending time behind bars. They could have easily propped up another corporate dem that actually may have had a chance in a ge, but party favors rule the day!
your dense. None of those things can happen. Youre just a Fox news parrot. Again, you Bernie folks have more in common with Trump voters than you realize.
Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)Become a rigged election? The only reasoning is Sanders talks about oligarchy and perhaps he has convinced himself we should be ruled by the few. No, doesn't work on the minority system.
Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)while being investigated by the FBI?
If she's such a great candidate, and has the most support, why the need to cheat?
And if she's so competent and qualified, why is the FBI investigating how badly she screwed up her email and for graft at her last job? Who gets promoted after a mess like that?
That adds up to LOSER.
TheFarseer
(9,317 posts)The Hillary victory fund to basically bribe state officials for endorsements and super delegate pledges. Then the media was completely in the tank for her because she will keep the political ad dollars flowing. Not to mention DWS blatantly on her side and all the advantages that brought. I think what ultimately undid Bernie was the fact that he was an independent and not a D. But I could be wrong.
AgerolanAmerican
(1,000 posts)funny how that stuff happened exactly when she needed it to save her candidacy
and even in smaller things the fraud is obvious - the chance that her coin flip delegates are legit is no more than 1 in 128
This election was the embodiment of all the things that Bernie supporters are complaining about:
FRAUD
CORRUPTION
BRIBERY
That's who Hillary Clinton is, to the bottom of her soul. A corrupt fraud who rakes in and doles out bribery day in and day out.
Bernie supporters simply will not vote for that because it is exactly what we became Bernie supporters in the first place to oppose.
