Bernie Sanders Fans Take Massive Dump On Nevada Democratic Convention FloorAfter hours spent trying to figure out why Bernie Sanders delegates were screaming that the Democrats had stolen the (Democratic!) convention, were still a little hazy, and Jon Ralston has yet to weigh in at his blog. But heres what seems to have happened, as near as we can tell.
Hillary Clinton won Nevadas caucuses by almost five points, and both candidates were awarded delegates to the county conventions. Bernie Sanderss delegates out-appeared Hillary Clintons delegates at the county conventions, where delegates would be awarded for the state convention. (This process is so dumb you guys. So fucking dumb. JUST GIVE THEM THE DELEGATES BASED ON HOW MANY CAUCUS VOTES THEY GOT JESUS H FUCKING CHRIST.) But at the state convention, about an equal number of Hillary Clintons folks showed up as did Bernie Sanderss. And of the Bernie folks who showed up, sixty had unregistered as Democrats. Whoops that meant they were not allowed to vote at the DEMOCRATIC convention! So fixed! Many corruptions! Oh god I hate everyone.
So then they went insane. They screamed at Barbara Boxer that she was a sellout bitch and did their best to boo the four-foot-nothing liberal grandma lion off the stage. They did their goddamndest to shut the whole thing down, because how is it even kosher for Hillary Clinton to get more delegates just because she won, when they had stolen it fair and square?

Sanders needs to get control of the whining, conspiracy theories, etc. It's dragging everyone down.
