In reply to the discussion: DC votes to put Sanders on primary ballot [View all]liberalhistorian
(20,900 posts)51. She can't handle the fact that she actually
has competition. She wanted and expected it to just be a cakewalk coronation and the DNC has done everything short of putting a crown on her head to make it happen for her. It's irritating as hell. This is a democracy and we deserve choice and competition, not a forced rubber stamping. She isn't owed or entitled to any damn votes.
She said recently, in a Politico article I just read, that she's "had enough of Bernie Sanders." Translation: she's had enough of actually having to EARN votes instead of having them, and the nomination, handed to her along with her crown on a silver platter. Too bad. Maybe she should try to figure out WHY he has such support and enthusiasm instead of dismissing and minimizing it and demanding support.

That's got nothing to do with what I posted. They're still lying about the source of the problems
