We all support expanded voting rights and the repugs are the one blocking that, not the Democratic Party.
This is about:
1) Sanders' disregard for voting rules,
2) Sanders' constant need for an outrage a day,
3) Sanders' setting up the meme that the 'system is rigged' when he loses, and
4) Sanders' attempting to delegitimize Hillary's nomination.
