You are witnessing the first "Stochastic Smearjob"

104. Well I'll say this....

Bernie's more "ardent" backers have done this to themselves. I've tried to remain civil through this process. I've tried to stick to reasoning and realistic analysis. I admit that a few times I've failed, but I have always gotten back on the horse, so to speak. I have been insulted more than once here (and lots more in other media), and have been called everything from a paid troll to a fascist. My crime? I have not drunk the Bernie Kool-aid. Philosophically I agree with most of Bernie's goals. I just think his policy stinks. For that heinous crime, I've been labeled a DINO and a Republican-lite. I didn't make any Sanders supporter say that. Add to that the constant claims that any Clinton victory MUST be the result of "cheating," as if us Clinton supporters don't actually exist, and you've created a recipe for group-level stupidity.

When a campaign tolerates that kind of behavior, it's just a matter of time before the stupid bubbles up to a head. And no, I'm not saying Clinton supporters are completely innocent of this. And neither am I painting all Sanders supporters. My wife, aka the Greatest Woman in the World, voted for Bernie. About half my closest friends int he world did too. None of them are exhibiting this kind of epic level stupidity.

FWIW, I think NV is getting blown out of proportion. People at that level of involvement are passionate. I think the Sanders supporters expected to dominate the state convention and eek out a couple more delegates. But they didn't. But see above. They've created a narrative where any failure MUST be due to unfairness or cheating.
