and not riddled with corruption, voter suppression, and vote switching, people could, possibly, get behind the presumptive nominee, but the way the primary has unfolded has ignited an anger and backlash that is going to have serious repercussions.

It is understandable that people are going to stand up and push back. They feel their rights have been violated and that the process has been thwarted by the DNC, DWS, and The Clinton Machine which excels at dirty tricks.

Poke a sleeping giant, it will eventually awaken.

Not a problem for me, After being a registered Democrat for 37 years, the party purged Dragonfli Apr 2016 #23

Yea, right at the same time, they thanked me for my $50 contribution (to Bernie) and asked LiberalArkie Apr 2016 #24

It is a very easy step to use his information to try to poach supporters, to then purge them from Dragonfli Apr 2016 #31

Threatening to withhold support for Hillary is NOT the way to be heard. pat_k Apr 2016 #55

So basically you want as many Bernie delegates at the convention as possible? dreamnightwind Apr 2016 #58

We get closer to realizing the goals by committing to stay in the fight. pat_k Apr 2016 #59

OK, but who here is arguing to not stay in the fight? dreamnightwind Apr 2016 #60

Yes, it is just a matter of perspective -- change from within, pat_k Apr 2016 #70
