Absolutely incredible.

You know who (Not dump) could shoot someone in broad daylight and they would blame the victim for standing in front of you know who. Which reminds me of MAGAts.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Highlight:

This time, Bernie Sanders 'rigged' the system against himself [View all] highplainsdem Feb 2020 OP

LOL. Man, they're really pushing the "Bernie wrote the rules" talking point. DanTex Feb 2020 #1

There's a lot of logic. LisaM Feb 2020 #4

You mean the "Democratic establishment"? I thought that was just a myth... DanTex Feb 2020 #5

It's not a myth relayerbob Feb 2020 #9

LOL. "Majority". Sorry, but the majority of us are not superdelegates or party insiders. DanTex Feb 2020 #10

Ummm Skidmore Feb 2020 #71

Bwa ha ha LisaM Feb 2020 #97

+++ still_one Feb 2020 #102

Or not Democrats. LisaM Feb 2020 #94

Nina Turner is a superdelegate. lapucelle Feb 2020 #103

Bernie was and is a Super Delegate. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #18

They are part of the Democratic "establishment" LiberalFighter Feb 2020 #87

See the link in the article. Hermit-The-Prog Feb 2020 #7

Yeah. It's wrong. Bernie didn't write the rules, the DNC did. DanTex Feb 2020 #8

Bernie is the only candidate who had a hand in writing the rules, your assertion notwithstanding. Hermit-The-Prog Feb 2020 #12

LOL. "A hand in". Bernie didn't write the rules, period. This is hilarious. DanTex Feb 2020 #14

Glad to have helped you laugh. I'm still not sure you're reading though. Hermit-The-Prog Feb 2020 #19

Yeah, I've seen it, and I know exactly how the process went down. DanTex Feb 2020 #22

What blame? Why not credit? Does he regret working for 2 years to change the rules? Hermit-The-Prog Feb 2020 #30

Crazy how some folks keep repeating a total fabrication. JudyM Feb 2020 #90

Then Bernie should deny/rescind his status as a Super Delegate. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #23

Yup, on principle. Just as he's refusing Bloomberg help if he's the nominee. oasis Feb 2020 #27

You just nailed it!!!!! sheshe2 Feb 2020 #34

He'll never do that. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #75

Yep 👍 sheshe2 Feb 2020 #76

"Today's decision by the DNC is an important step forward," Sanders said in a statement. mzmolly Feb 2020 #26

And it was an improvement. But not a solution. DanTex Feb 2020 #29

It was a solution that many painfully mzmolly Feb 2020 #53

Bernie wasn't the boss of it all MontanaMama Feb 2020 #50

From what it looks like you are right he did not write them however it does appear he proposed cstanleytech Feb 2020 #58

He is the only candidate in the race that had a direct say in writing the rules. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #15

LOL. He *opposed* superdelegates, and now people are trying to blame him for them. DanTex Feb 2020 #16

He didn't get all he wanted, but neither did anyone else. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #25

Right. And the undemocratic part -- the superdelegates -- is the part that Bernie didn't want. DanTex Feb 2020 #31

Bullshit. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #37

It's the truth. Bernie and his supporters didn't want superdelegates. DanTex Feb 2020 #38

Then it's pretty fucking hypocritical of him to be one now and in the past. MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #74

So what? You can't have everything you want. showblue22 Feb 2020 #95

Including Warren. That was a bigger disappointment JudyM Feb 2020 #91

You can't always get what you want Old Terp Feb 2020 #100

HOLD THE PRESSES!!! William769 Feb 2020 #66

.. Cha Feb 2020 #68

It's not a talking point. His people DID write some of the modifications to the rules.... George II Feb 2020 #17

His people were a minority on the committee, and they didn't get what they wanted. DanTex Feb 2020 #24

The reason there are super delegates is because the DEMOCRATIC PARTY wanted them! George II Feb 2020 #28

Don't even try to make those excuses. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #35

It's not an "excuse", it's a fact. Bernie's people wanted to get rid of superdelegates, DanTex Feb 2020 #36

Outnumbered my ass. READ THE ARTICLE. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #40

Yes, outnumbered. As in, less than half of the committee. DanTex Feb 2020 #41

It was a COMMISSION and it was tasked to come up with proposals... W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #42

Committee, Commission. The point is, the Bernie people were outnumbered on it, DanTex Feb 2020 #43

I didn't correct you because of semantics. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #45

OK. Still, Bernie's people were outnumbered, I hope you're not denying that. DanTex Feb 2020 #46

It doesn't mattered if someone was "outnumbered"... W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #47

Of course it does. It meant they couldn't get what they wanted in terms of getting rid of supers. DanTex Feb 2020 #48

NO ONE got everything they wanted. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #72

But if Sanders wasn't happy that he didn't get everything he demanded, there's no way he OnDoutside Feb 2020 #73

Maybe Sen. Sanders should register as a Democrat and STAY a Democrat... AncientGeezer Feb 2020 #93

Bernie bitched and moaned til he got what he wanted. redstateblues Feb 2020 #61

Irony. Kind of sounds like a democratic way to an end. nt fleabiscuit Feb 2020 #56

LOL.. and you are relentlessly pushing just the opposite. honest.abe Feb 2020 #82

This article is disengenuous. Bernie wanted to get rid of the super delegates completely. aikoaiko Feb 2020 #2

He wanted to get rid of the SDs until he needed them. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #11

It's not disingenuous. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #21

Considering the established role of outside forces messing in our last election then the ... fleabiscuit Feb 2020 #57

We heard from four of the superdelegates right on the debate stage. lapucelle Feb 2020 #70

BS is a superdelegate. He hired superdelegate Nina Turner to run his campaign. lapucelle Feb 2020 #106

omg.. Finally! Cha Feb 2020 #3

there are clear precedents for a politician with a plurality that gamed the system and took over msongs Feb 2020 #6

And Remember...BS Is A Super Delegate Me. Feb 2020 #13

Wasn't it Hillary who started this asking the superdelegates to vote for her House of Roberts Feb 2020 #62

Hillary and Obama is a total different election showblue22 Feb 2020 #96

The principle is the same. House of Roberts Feb 2020 #99

Bernie stayed in the race hoping for superdelagets showblue22 Feb 2020 #105

Sorry, I see this as another "gotcha" thread to avoid issues. rwsanders Feb 2020 #63

Ummmmm...... I guess it IS important to name post offices.... Squinch Feb 2020 #81

Maybe he could have gotten more done with a few wealthy donors on his side rwsanders Feb 2020 #98

This reminds me of how Sanders had a hand in writing the party platform. betsuni Feb 2020 #64

And I thank him for that everyday. William769 Feb 2020 #67
