Stop trying to push Bernie on us

No way we will allow all of Hilary's votes to be disenfranchised! I promise.. She, we, us.. will fight Bernie trying to insert himself against the will of voters all the way to supreme court if needed. The end

Bernie is irrelevant. As such that's how he should be treated. Welcome to DU (assuming you haven't been here for years just observing).

You don't tell 40 percent of the voters that they are irrelevant and expect to build a viable political party.

and can figure this out for themselves. I figured this out for myself in 2008 when I was originally a Hillary supporter. But when she lost the delegate count to Obama I quickly decided to make myself relevant and switched to supporting Obama. This is not rocket science but does require a mature brain.

It's just the gnashing of teeth and wailing and tribulation. They know they can't get supers to flip. But damn, it sure is irritating to see them push that idea. Shows what they are.

Use them. You can not just voice your concern you have to prove it and allow the system that is in place to do what it sees fit. Bernie DOES NOT decide the DNC chair.

if someone is so biased, or so abrasive to key parts of the party (like millennials and GLBT people and pretty much the entire left or anyone else whom Rahm called 'f*cking retarted') that it threatenes to torpedoe the party's chances in the GE, then the party needs to get rid of that particular individual, and oust him or her from his or her leadership position.

That means bey bey DINO-Debbie, and preferably bey bey Nancy-Reagan-praising Hillary as well.

If she is indicted, it's completely her fault her supporters votes were in vain...although it's not like there hasn't been plenty of warnings raised. If people want to risk their vote on an indicted candidate that's their problem.

We didn't make her do the things she might be indicted for...we're not the one disenfranchising her supporters if she has to withdraw because she gets indicted, Hillary is the one that disenfranchised her own supporters.

Listening to Clinton supporters on this is like when I was a kid and Marc from next door used to grab my wrist and punch me in the face with my own hand, yelling "Stop hitting yourself, dummy!" except that now I'm a bystander and it's Hillary punching her voters in the face with their own votes.
