“Killary Clinton is stealing the nomination and the system is rigged against Bernie Sanders,” said the two young white guys standing behind me in line. They rambled incessantly about how she was cheating and could not be trusted. Superdelegates were their greatest frustration. Unelected delegates who could “decide” the nomination proved that the process was a sham that was intentionally set up to prevent Sanders from winning.
At first I tried to ignore the conversation and thought they were Trump supporters (“Killary” is usually a right-wing thing). But once it became clear that these guys were Sanders supporters, I had to jump in. For years, these guys had been “my people.” I have been a fan of Sanders long before his presidential run and have made many friends due to our mutual admiration of his policies. Surely, I’d be able to have a civil, rational conversation with these guys, right?
When, I chimed in it was evident that we were speaking different languages. We agreed on most of the substantive policy issues, and I told them how I even interned for Sanders about a decade ago. We should have been able to see eye to eye, but we could not. The main source of their frustration was merely the fact that they had lost. The fact that she is ahead in the popular vote, has won more primaries and caucuses, and has earned more delegates was to them a minor nuisance. They had their absurd talking points and were unwilling to deviate into reality.

Frustrated Bernie Sanders voters are encouraged to spend a little time in Venezuela for a taste of their cherished future.
I have not been entitled to a damn thing, I worked for it.
1 out of 4 of his donors is using public assistance money to donate to his campaign.
What a crock!
a new codeword - tribalists, versus the Clinton dem 'minorities.' This latest trend of refusing to acknowledge America as an established country that has an almost 500year largely Western European cultured heritage is alarming. We are not a nation of immigrants that all just got off the boat yesterday in a free-for-all. But it plays to the goals of open border (but only in the northern hemisphere) globalists, for sure.
Indycar today...five laps left.
On one of the MSN threads a guy, looking very hippiesh, supported Bernie, saying (I’m paraphrasing) that the money the rich people make should go to the lesser advantaged because the rich are going to misspend it anyway.
How’s THAT for liberal logic?
These are people essentially saying, “I want to do or be what I damn well please; to hell with everybody,” yet they expect everyone to go along with it & support them. Yet, a rich person isn’t allowed to do what he or she pleases.
who won?
That is like when Bill Clinton said something like - I would let people keep their money if I thought they would spend it the right way.
I dunno, some guy with a lot of willpower.
