You think Nevada was ugly? Just wait!

[rateyes]

A few years ago, I posted a piece here stating that Revolution was coming to this country in my lifetime. I am up in age. I said that it might be peaceful, or it might be violent, but that it was coming.

People of all political stripes are pissed. They are sick and tired of being stepped on by those we keep electing to office who promise to make things better, but don't.

It is clear that Roberta Lange used voice votes to her advantage in Nevada to ensure that she got her way. She did not do the right thing by refusing to have a standing division. The delegates rightly saw what she was attempting to do, and they were angry that the deck was stacked against them.

DWS is doing the same thing with committee makeup at the DNC later this year. She has appointed three of Bernie's suggestions to a supermajority of Hillary's. She has stacked the rules committee.

Bernie is going to take this campaign to the convention. And if DWS doesn't decide that Bernie supporters get a proportional representation on committees and doesn't chair that meeting fairly, then what you saw in Nevada will look like a love fest compared to what will happen in Philly.

Revolution is coming. One way or the other. The oligarchs better take note.

[Agschmid]

1. This...

MALE CALLER: Hi Roberta Lange. This is a citizen of the United States of America and I just wanted to let you know that I think people like you should be hung in a public execution to show this world that we won’t stand for this sort of corruption. I don’t know what kind of money they are paying to you, but I don’t know how you sleep at night. You are a sick, twisted piece of shit and I hope you burn for this! You can return my call at ***-***-****. I’d love to go into further detail with you about this, though I am sure you don’t have courage to do so. You cowardless bitch, running off the stage! I hope people find you.

Isn't a revolution, it's mental illness.

[winter is coming]

11. That is not mental illness. It's rage, possibly feigned. n/t

[Ohioblue22]

17. It's terrorism and should be dealt with

[winter is coming]

20. It's not terrorism, either.

It's certainly ugly, but I'm not sure there's enough "threat" there to actually justify any legal action.

[Ohioblue22]

34. It's intimidation in order to affect a political outcome.

The calculated use of violence (or threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear

[Maru Kitteh]

91. Oh bullshit. It's intellectually dishonest to pretend that

"you should be hung in a public execution" and "I hope you burn" is anything but a THREAT. I'm sure you would be just fine if this were called in to Jane Sanders on her personal phone and left on her voicemail right? No you wouldn't. You would acknowledge it as the criminal act that it is.

[winter is coming]

92. No, I'd have the exact same opinion that I do now: it's fucking ugly

but probably doesn't rise to the level of being a criminal act.

[bahrbearian]

27. Oh here we go "Be Afraid ,be very afraid" are we going to use the terror color code too ?

Why does bush come to mind

[Agschmid]

30. So your okay with that voicemail?

That kind of thing is fine with you?

[bahrbearian]

36. "Its Terrorism I tell you Terrorism" Shock and Awe, Then "I made a mistake"

That Voice mail is as big a deal as you can Make It .

[Agschmid]

38. I didn't say it was terrorism... That wasn't me.

But I'm certainly not okay with that voicemail, and you should be either.

[bahrbearian]

45. Are you "OK" calling it Terrorism

The Voice mail is a big as Deal as YOU can make it.

[Agschmid]

49. I not okay with calling it "terrorism" nor did I ever say it was.

So... Your point is flawed.

Now do you agree that it's disgusting and it shouldn't have happened. Someone took it too far.

[bahrbearian]

53. NO you only said it Wasn't You that said it . You didn't state you weren't OK with it.

Yes people take things too far, later they say they Made a mistake

54. If I were you I'd go ahead and re-read my last post.

[George II]

108. Your job now is to pore over all the posts on DU and declare your objection to as many a possible...

....and get it done IMMEDIATELY. Now.

[Agschmid]

109. I know right?!?!

[Ohioblue22]

37. A call like that for this reason is terrorism

The calculated use of violence (or threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear

[DebDoo]

90. Caller never threatened her, said you *should be* hung. (See definition of "is")

[Agschmid]

131. Your response is laughable.

[nadinbrzezinski]

81. This came from a San Diego area phone

Ergo it is a federal case. Under the US code, there is something called terroristic threats California uses a different name for the exact same offense.

[SheenaR]

48. other terrorists by your standards

- Paul Revere
- John Brown
- Susan B Anthony

[Ohioblue22]

56. I'm sure they all would have on the phone with their curse words and death threats and BTW that

Definition is not mine but from a dictionary

[SheenaR]

57. The first two were willing to kill the opposition

so I guess they were terrorists by both you and your dictionary

[Ohioblue22]

62. Words are cheap

[uponit7771]

125. +1

[Agschmid]

24. Threatening the life of someone else *isn't* rage.

It's mental illness.

[winter is coming]

33. No, it doesn't have to be mental illness.

And I don't see an actionable threat in "people like you should be hung in a public execution". It's an ugly sentiment, to be sure, but we'll see whether law enforcement considers it an actual death threat.

[Agschmid]

35. ...

Okay, you go with that.

[adigal]

97. Yes, it is a form of mental illness, but we don't know WHO made the call yet

It could be a Trump supporter. It could be a Hillary supporter trying to discredit Bernie. Lots of possibilities.

[puffy socks]

128. Oh sure

All the nasty phone calls come from Trump supporters what a bunch of bull


Bernie's little revolution will burn up just as quickly as his flash in the pan campaign has. It'll don't know where any revolutionaries will end up. Probably just a lot of fines and court , maybe a little jail time, That's about it ...but the government could use that money to help some other people who need it !

[George II]

107. You're sticking up for this?

[winter is coming]

112. I didn't "stick up" for the behavior. It's not mental illness. n/t

[basselope]

21. So, let me get this straight.

The person called, made a threat, said he hoped she burned for this and then left a "you can return my call at".

Hmm, smells funny.

[Agschmid]

25. Smells like mental illness.

[basselope]

43. If you define mental illness as someone faking it.. yeah, it does smell like that.

[Agschmid]

52. I do define it as someone willing I say that to another person.

Faked or not.

[basselope]

55. So actors are mentally ill?

[Agschmid]

58. Yes that's exactly what I meant...

I note that you appear to be in the "okay" with threats of violence.

See you around DU.

[basselope]

60. Not sure if there was one.

We know someone called and said this. However, it is only an actual threat if the person being threatened doesn't know it is a fake call.

Since this person left their phone number, obviously they will be arrested.

I await the arrest record.

[DebDoo]

94. No threat. Caller said "you *should be* hung" and *I hope* you burn

[basselope]

104. Try saying that about an official and see how fast the secret service wants to have a conversation.

[Bobbie Jo]

28. These people are disgusting.

[cali]

40. And there is what evidence that this is a Bernie supporter?

[Agschmid]

63. I at least got you the organic kind...

[HooptieWagon]

42. Caller ID was David Brock...

stirring the pot. And gullible Hillary supporters are falling for it.

[riversedge]

64. People who leave those vile messages ARE the COWARDS!

[nadinbrzezinski]

66. Brook posted the actual number

Covering courts I will wait for the police report. That phone was from San Diego.

Chew on that one for a second. And yes, felonies were committed. But I am willing to bet it was not somebody who attended the convention.

[Agschmid]

68. I edited it out once I noticed it was in there.

Threats of violence are not okay, coming from anyone.

[TwilightZone]

71. It's been posted about 1000 times on DU in the past couple days.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Funny how they're worried about posting the phone number of a neanderthal, but they have no trouble personally posting Lange's contact information.

[nadinbrzezinski]

76. Neither is ok

Amirite

For different reasons by the way

[TwilightZone]

77. Oh, I agree that neither is acceptable.

My point was that that ship already sailed.

Since you agree that neither is acceptable, perhaps you should say something about it in the 500 threads about Lange posted by your compatriots. A lot of them clearly have no problem with it. Some are using it in their sig lines.

[nadinbrzezinski]

79. Hmm tjey are not my compatriots

But I did tell a poster already to take it down. So go with that ok

[nadinbrzezinski]

73. I did not say they were ok

I just said that having done some of the investigative stuff I am used to doing, and really don't have an interest of going all the way...I have the feeling this was not anybody tied to the campaign, or for that matter the NV convention. If there is a police report...that wicket matters and Ralston should have mentioned if one exists or not...in two years...courts can take that long...we will learn the truth.

And as usual...in two years, none here will care. I am almost willing to bet this particular case won't have reporters on it either, like on 99.9 percent of cases...trust me, I am low balling the number.

[zappaman]

83. You really should be investigating this stuff!

You're an investigative reporter and the number is in San Diego!!!
What are you waiting for???

sounds like blackmail and a threat.

Not going to give that any legitimacy. Adult trantrums are pathetic.

[BeyondGeography]

3. A revolution led by fools who couldn't be bothered to register as Dems even when GWB was President

Should be entertaining.

Then we will see how much support he actually has

[Dem2]

105. Can't lose

When the ultimate answer to all inquiries is a conspiracy theory.

Seems rather Godwin to me.

[frylock]

106. You're right. It's pure coincidence that shortly after it's announced that Count Brockula..

has a paid army of internet trolls that the board is inundated with n00bies all parroting the same talking points.

[Dem2]

110. You believe anything you want

Most of those who aren't for real can be ignored, it's what most of us learn in Internet 101.

[frylock]

111. Most of those who aren't for real are multiplying like fucking Gremlins.

Kinda hard to ignore when they post as prolifically as they have been. The board is fucking lousy with their nonsense.

[Dem2]

113. Only 85% Bernie supporters here

Won't be any fun until it's 99.99%?

[frylock]

116. Hey, remind me again which group is calling for a purge kplzthx.

[Dem2]

117. I don't know

I trash most posts like that without reading them.

118. Well why opine on something you know nothing about?

Good day to you, sir or madam.

[Dem2]

119. You seem confused.

[frylock]

120. I said good day.

7. Oh please.

This is a small minority of disaffected thugs who will have absolutely no influence on the outcome of the primary or GE.

Most normal voters are getting on with their lives. They're not even aware of your revolution, and they wouldn't be the least bit interested in it if they were.

[libdem4life]

16. It's all they have...molehills...the Mountains are still out there.

[dana_b]

39. I guess I'm not normal then purl

and if that's what normal mean, then I guess I'd rather be informed and awake.

I think that you and I are definitely on different paths so I will wish you the best in life and say adieu.

[Ohioblue22]

46. Informed and awake. lol looks more like intimidation and tantrums

[auntpurl]

114. My response was NOT about Bernie supporters in general!

My response was directly in response to the OP's assertion that there would be more violence a la Nevada. He was saying "you ain't seen nothing yet" like Philly is going to be a riot. That was what I was talking about re: revolution, not the larger Sanders campaign. Sorry for not being clear.

[firebrand80]

8. Anti-democratic revolution. Awesome nt

[kstewart33]

9. If Philadelphia is a rerun of Nevada

It will most likely spell the demise of Bernie's movement.

As a Hillary supporter, I support Bernie's movement. I want him to turn his focus to organizing the movement into a force that actually gets meaningful results. Like winning races at the local, state and federal level.

However, repeating Nevada in Philadelphia isn't the way to go about it.

Bernie's supporters did themselves no good in Nevada. It would be a shame if it happens again in Philly.

[djean111]

10. What DWS and her ilk don't seem to grasp is that they are manipulating for money and power -

and what comes of that affects everybody's fucking LIFE. This is not a football game on TV. This is our lives, and they believe they should be able to decide for everyone. From their comfortable positions. Ain't gonna fly this time, I think. Too many people aware of how the corruption works.

[stillwaiting]

12. And rightfully so. This rightness of the reaction must be made clear to all. nt

[HumanityExperiment]

13. Lessons unlearned by the establishment...

it is curious the amount of posts from HRC supporters that avoid the reality of the situation at hand

it's not just in our party, it's all over this nation, exhibit one... Trump is the GOP nominee, example two, Philippine President-Elect Rodrigo Duterte

It's happening worldwide

The anti-establishment movement is real, we've come full circle, '68 convention was a lesson soon forgotten by party establishment folks.. and here we are in '16....

NV convention is just a glimpse, without the MSM 'reporting' it won't have the same impact like a national convention will have, SDs will HAVE to come into play to push either candidate over the line to earn nomination and that process... will be highly televised, reported on and scrutinized

Just watch the growing number of posts from establishment types here in DU trying to counter this reality.. it will be fun to watch!

[Ohioblue22]

22. Bernie has been part of the government for 30 years what do you mean by not establishment

[HumanityExperiment]

59. sure...

What part of DEM party establishment escaped your attention?

[Ohioblue22]

61. Ok ,establishment is OK as long as it isn't DEM establishment

[HumanityExperiment]

65. ...

Did i state that?... nope, point is about party establishment and the national convention

[Ohioblue22]

67. Yeah you said that

Bernie has been part of the government for 30 years what do you mean by not establishment


What part of DEM party establishment escaped your attention?

[HumanityExperiment]

70. reading is fundamental...

72. The anti-establish group is backing Bernie correct?

[HumanityExperiment]

75. ...

Yes, let's discuss the 'labels' behind each candidate shall we, this should be fun...

many folks that believe current DEM leadership aren't backing ideology that defines DEM party are backing Bernie, just to clarify your question and answer in same response...

NV convention is example.... national convention will have a much larger, broader audience and focused light on it, so... the OP and post, getting back to that point and my post linking that NV convention to what I foresee with national convention will have to deal with as it pertains to SDs should be interesting as SDs are party establishment

Do you disagree that SDs are party establishment?

[libdem4life]

14. I have to agree. And since entrenched folks whose livings...great or small...

depend on the system in place, it will be a fight. Hopefully only political.

However, it is not a political issue. It is a social/cultural/financial Class Division. An old phrase, the Haves and the Have Nots. And it is egregiously fixed. Anyone with age in the double digits knows that.

And we know HRC doesn't plan to do much other than mouth some compromising statements...and will revert to her roots if and when she becomes president. She owes too many people and too many people owe her/them. That is not a secret.

The Clinton Machine has been going for decades. You don't hear about the Sanders Machine. People are just finding out who he is...and many of the Have Nots relate with and like his intent.

It's not about what can you do for me tomorrow, (the unicorns and ponies put down meme) at this stage in the game for us of Boomer age, it's what can you do for my children and grandchildren over time...given the proper focus.

The Wheel of Fortune turns slower as it approaches the apex, then falls faster, which may an appropriate analogy.

Another saying is that the longer someone is held down, the more power they must bring to be let go. Women's Rights, Black Rights, LGBT Rights, all divided over a social purpose.

This one is money...pure and simple. It crosses most of the old boundaries. It also has to go.

ETA: It was surely no Kent State.

[dreamnightwind]

18. I hope you're right

And I hope that they WILL take notice.

I don't see any actual revolution coming, but I do see a major realignment in the works, and a new populist force emerging. The two corporate parties can head this off easily enough, if they want to. Right now, they're still in "the beatings will continue until morale improves" mentality, which is more gas on the fire.

This country's politics, at this point, is total kabuki. The illusion is becoming more apparent to more people. Choosing Thing One or Thing Two that come out of the corporate political pipeline is not bringing about any of the major changes we need, and it has to happen, there's literally no time to wait, climate tipping points are here.

I'll say it again, climate tipping points are here.

Let's move, people, we can't sit back and watch our future be denied by greedy corporate impostors. Passivity is recorded as a vote for consent.

If the Democratic Party won't be our ally in this, if it won't be the vehicle for this change, we will find another way.

[99Forever]

23. Precisely.

Listen to us or be prepared for what comes next. We will NOT be ignored.

"Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose."

[Trust Buster]

32. Oh please. What a foolishly tough talking OP. You can't back it up or you wouldn't have found it

necessary to threaten. Most of your so called revolution is made up of college kids that Sanders offered trillions to. When reality hits home, they'll just play out their anger in their violent video games. That's today's revolutionary. All talk and little guts. Please......

[eastwestdem]

96. Is this what happens when a generation who was raised to feel entitled finally comes of age?

Violence can only come about from strong emotion, and the emotion that is most frequently relayed is frustration that they cannot have all of the things they see available to others in society. This really reminds me of the Tea Party-ers...lashing out at "them" because of personal failings. Sure, the Sanders folks have a different set of beliefs (hopefully), but their movements look very similar.

[fleabiscuit]

98. Perhaps helped by helicopter parents and everyone is a winner?

I would hazard a guess that entitlement would have to be born out of at least a 'decent economy?' That blows against the wind if they examined it with thought.

[bvar22]

100. Lets take a look at your premise:

You state:
[font color=red]"the emotion that is most frequently relayed is frustration that they cannot have all of the things they see available to others in society. This really reminds me of the Tea Party-ers...lashing out at "them" because of personal failings."[/font]

I reject your premise.
You are blaming the victims.
Most take a look around them and see a grossly unfair system that is getting WORSE with each passing day. We now have a generation whose parents can no longer promise their children that if you stay in school and work hard, you can do better than me.

Here is some documentation of this growing unfairness that is the source of anger and frustration:
