In reply to the discussion: Hillary, your incessant "victim playing" is a bad political move [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)... to hear a Bernie supporter talking about "victim playing", to whit:
There aren't enough debates.
Now there are more debates, but they're scheduled on the wrong days, at the wrong times.
The debate moderators give all the softball questions to Hillary.
The media is "blacking out" Bernie.
The primary schedule is all wrong - they put the southern states in early to give HRC a lead.
The primaries should all be open - Bernie does better that way, so why can't everyone do what's best for him?
Yes, our campaign accessed Hillary's data - but she MADE us do it.
The "Establishment" is against us.
The media is against us.
The cards were stacked against us from day one.
The on-line polls don't match the "official" polls - it's all part of the conspiracy!
The states are sticking to their long-standing primary rules - why didn't they change them for Bernie?
