How come when Bernie wins a primary or debate, the losers don't say a peep but when he loses

it's a demand for a recount or "Bloomberg and Biden packed the debate hall with supporters"?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Wrote a letter to the Nevada State DP, in fact.

Shortly after conceding the Nevada caucuses to Sen. Bernie Sanders, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg began questioning the results there.

We should not let caucus states dictate the choice of our candidates. It infuriates me.

What’s wrong with getting it right ?


The debate tonight had an expensive ticket price so it did impact the makeup of the audience imo
$1700-$3200 per seat

Senator Bernie Sanders. From certain people, you can see three types of postings:

1. Bernie Sanders is Awesome!
2. This Democratic Presidential Candidate who competes with Bernie Sanders is Satan!
3. People are being terrible to Bernie Sanders!


Not all of Sanders' supporters do this. However, I have seen it enough that I've seen dozens of examples of each among this board and several others. So, to sum up, the most common Bernie messages that I have seen are:

1. Bernie is Good!
2. Bernie's opponents are Bad!
3. Stop being mean to Bernie!

The second and third examples usually are loaded with lots of emotion and, often, with much outrage.
