What was pulled in Nevada & how Wasserman Schultz handled things = Major Screw Up

[Quixote1818]

I am not a regular on DU, I generally only post here when I get riled up. The regulars probably don't even know my handle because I post so irregularly. I am a Sanders supporter but I am also cool with Hillary if it comes down to her and Trump, I supported Hillary last go around. I have paid a bit of attention to things but had pretty much figured Hillary had it in the bag and was ready to except that and campaign for her this fall. However, what occurred in Nevada got my attention just a little and I was kind of pissed but not majorly as it was a local thing. Then after I saw how Schultz and the MSM (Time Warner Media Conglomerate - Clinton's 7th biggest donor) handled that by completely lying about what occurred and comparing Sanders Supporters to Trump supporters I got the fuck out of my chair and was fuming! I have probably posted more in the past two days than I have in the past year. On Facebook all my Sander's supporting friends also seem to be pissed as hell.

All I can say is they are fucking playing with fire if they are going to start suggesting (based on a lie) Sanders supporters are violent, extremists because that is an attack on the essence of who I am and my integrity. This shit needs to stop immediately or there will be major deminstrations in Philadelphia from people who were at one time completely on board with Hillary.

I am a reasonable person and I don't want Trump to be president EVER! It would take a lot to get me to stay home but Schultz and the DNC better be careful because I will not put up with much more of this blatant disrespect. Do they want us to support Hillary or are they just ready to start courting Bush's donors and forget about us? My at one point sold vote is now in the wait and see column. Great job Wasserman Schultz!

3. GREAT point, Quixote!

The ugliness is heavily weighted on one side, and it ain't the Sanders' side. I think the term "craven" comes to mind and it was on full display last weekend in NV.

Secretary Clinton (and your supporters)... if you're sooo confident in your inevitability, why are you all so insecure about it?

4. The one hundred or so who was by the stage are responsible for their behavior, those

Who made the harassing phone calls are responsible for their behavior. If Sanders was honest in his phone conversations with Barbara Boxer and Durham he is not pleased with their actions. Blaming others is not the answer.

5. I hear ya Quixote.

Never seen any thing as sickening as this. The crap she pulled 2008 is what made my skin crawl and when i lost all respect for her. All my support went to Obama, donations, time, phonebanking, gotv and finally my votes.

She hasn't done anything to clean up her tarnished reputation in my eyes and heart. Couple that with her really bad judgment and cozy relationships with those who want to own our democracy and it's a wrap.

I respect your willingness to give her a chance and I'm sorry you're disappointed.

IF she wins the nomination, i suspect in 4 years we will be in another contentious battle perhaps for the Presidency but certainly for getting Bernie Dems in power positions.

8. how would you feel about somebody pretending they were for something

important when they were actually working to undermine it. And it was literally a matter of life or death for millions of people.

Estimating may already have resulted in between one and two million needless deaths.

6. I remember seeing you around.

I can say this:

There won't just be major demonstrations in Philly. She's going to lose in November.

7. I feel similarly

But with me it has not only to do with the post-convention lying, but with the convention itself.

We saw democracy stolen away from us at that convention. I've already seen what I consider to be good evidence of a great deal of election fraud in these primaries, but to see such an extreme abuse of power as exhibited at that convention was the last straw for me.

I will never vote for anyone who I believe to be the beneficiary of election fraud, because I feel that to do so is to condone something that gravely threatens our rapidly fading democracy. Maybe I would if the Democratic Party would acknowledge the abuse of power and provide consequences to those responsible for it I would reconsider. But it doesn't look like that is going to happen, so they can go to hell as far as I am concerned.
