In reply to the discussion: DNC rule change angers Sanders supporters [View all]Downtown Hound

No more of this being a temporary Democrat deal and then whining about how corrupt Hillary cheated and denied you your rightful victory by miraculously forcing millions of more people to vote for her than him. Want Democratic money and support? Be a Democrat. Join us in the fight against Republicans, instead of joining the Republicans in the fight against us.
If you don't like it, then form your own party.
