I concluded that the core of the party does not want progressives to do anything more than vote, and even that is to be questioned. It is stupid, but hey... whatever, it is not my party... but it is my country.

No one is being stopped from voting. I filled out my absentee ballot and I'm looking forward to California giving Clinton the remaining delegates she needs to close this out formally.

She has already won.
Bernie isn't even close.
The only super delegate flips since Bernard decided to go against his oh-so-solid convictions about SDs and the system, decided to flipped over to Hillary. The SD count is now further in favor of Hillary than it was before he started his Campaign o' Wooing the super delegates.

HC - 525, BS - 39
Thus far the death threats, rape threats , wishes for public hangings or imprisonment, and threats to cut out tongues haven't swayed any SDs so far as I know.

Would you say that if the situation was reversed. Clinton was down and behind?
I say let everyone vote- do it by the rules I had to follow to vote.
BE a democrat, register by the right DAY, I dont care if its January of 2010.
Noone is saying drop out, except some of Sanders more devoted followers on this forum to HRC.

I see no issue - plenty of time to decimate "small hands" after the primary ends.

However, most Democrats would like for BS to stop lying about the process and trashing the party.

you and BS want to change the rules of one of the two major parties even though you are not a member of either party.

I am a registered long time Dem and don't want Independents, Republicans, and not registered people to vote in our primary.




Done

with the daily lies and filthy accusations from day one - sexism, racism, whatever meme Brock trotted out to be spread far and wide. So much hatred and condescension, dismissal and insults for simply challenging the chosen candidate, and now they're worried that all those they wanted brought to heel may not go crawling back. jmho, but when you treat good people like crap, they don't forget.

I send my ballot in yesterday. There's a lot more to decide than a Democratic presidential candidate. Going by the yard signs around here, the biggest race is for state assembly, followed by a county proposition. One Sanders window sign, no Clinton ones.

Nobody has to let people vote. On June 7, the primary will be held there. Both names will be on the ballot. It is not within anyone's power to prevent Californians from voting.

More imaginary nonsense.

I want to see you lose, once and for all. Stay in. It's fun watching you lose.
