corruption of our system where these people think they have the RIGHT to decide to thwart the will of the people, just as Bernie has said.

We should USE this article, over and over until it sinks in just HOW corrupted the system is and how they have manipulated it for so long.

It reminded me of other elections where the people were showing support for a candidate and THEY chose someone else. Then when people were left with a choice between THAT candidate who they may not have been thrilled with, or a Republican, all the usual 'warnings' were issued, 'well, s/he's better than the Republican' etc.

I have now made up my mind and I want them to know this BEFORE they try to stop Bernie, if they play their usual dirty tricks to install THEIR choice of candidate, I will not support that candidate, I will work to get a Congress who will not work with their choice either, at least to begin that process.

This shows clearly what they have been up to for a long time, and why we were so puzzled by the whole mess.
