2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie promised a positive campaign...yet we have death threats, throwing chairs, making kids cry,
booing of the disabled, ugly ugly messages (facebook, voice mail, twitter) from his supporters.
What happened?
Did they miss the message?

(4,667 posts)Its entirely possible people going out of their way to be annoying are not really Bernie supporters.
I think its quite likely many are not.
They may not work for Hillary either, I would look at industries like the he**** i******** and d*** (???) industries that have a large stake in the election's outcome and likely also a substantial amount of money to throw at the election to get their candidate elected, via trickery.

(29,198 posts)about this grand "revolution" and, as you assert, BLATANT cheating has occurred? I mean if the cheating is real, if it's blatant and he really does care about the revolution - why wouldn't he file?

It's not Bernie's fault.

Trump and his minions are going to make the HRC bubble boys/girls cry for mommy 24/7 for 6 months. Some if them aren't going to make it, if their amazing lack of toughness to date is any indication...

(1,237 posts)"The actor then began to push her, Ms. Baca told the police, and as she and her friends walked away to their room, Mr. Pierce followed them and tried to force his way in. In the tussle, Ms. Baca said, Mr. Pierce began to hit her in the head and grab her hoodie, ripping the hood off.

What would make someone without a criminal background attack someone like this? It's the rhetoric about Bernie supporters IMO. The million dollar investment in social media seems to be doing it's job.

As far as Lange she illegally changed the rules and ended the meeting while about was being taken. She deserves whatever she gets.

If somebody did threaten her granddaughter that is not acceptable. But again there's no proof just hearsay.

(2,598 posts)Because you are pure any contradiction or disagreement is heresy. The people who disagree, apostates.
There is an emotional investment so that attacks on the object of purity is an attack on oneself.
Theirs is a metaphysical certainty that compares to the religious.
