The greatest violence done at the NV Dem Conv. by far, was the attack on democracy.

Democracy suffered a severe blow on Saturday night. But fortunately the democratic spirit never dies whenever it's attacked - it only gets stronger, always springing back to life with renewed vigor.

wielding the gavel and miscounting the voice votes, the bullies stole the votes. The Sanders supporters got nothing. Not very good bullying when you get nothing. They were trying to stand up to the bullies that were running the convention and not listening to the Sanders supporters. The fix was in like in all states. The oligarchy is winning over democracy. This is exactly the culture of corruption that the Sanders supporters have come out to end.

They would have supported King George because they really don't like democracy.

And the faux outrage that camouflages the real story and the people who spread it, are the true problem!

As more and more voters realize that Bernie has already lost, they are joining the ranks of Hillary.
