The Rise of Political Clickbait 11: Nevada Democratic Convention

1. Ironically this is why we need Bernie

Bernie's challenge to the establishment has pulled the curtain back to reveal that the people of this nation have no voice or power in our governance.

4. So you didn't watch the video

My statement is evident for those who watch the video

[blackspade]

5. So why is the DNC going out of their way...

to mismanage the NV convention and create an atmosphere that is hostile the Sanders supporters?
The way Lange was conducting the convention contravenes the party rules for no reason other than to alienate the progressive wing of the party.
Purpose matters in situations like this, and thus far I have not seen a logical explanation for the bullshit that went down in NV.
If the shoe was on the other foot I would be just as upset by this.
Open and fair processes should be paramount.

[blackspade]

8. You didn't answer the question....

Why are they full of shit? They were Democrats for the caucuses, so what happened?
And what about the excluded Clinton delegates? If they were cool for the caucuses, why not now?
The issue here is credibility and accountability to the voters. Lange and her posse of keystone cop operatives exhibit neither.

9. They were unfairly excluded in the morning when they were not allowed to enter and the rules were ch

Changed. AThe rule change allowed the committee to exclude them. THEN the NVDP pulled the theft out in the open as described above. You COULD learn this on your own by doing a google or two. Or you could continue to show yourself a mindless partisan.

25. Rules were changed while people were still in line

According to records, the initial vote was held before it was scheduled to, as well.

10. There is a chance, but not a fair to good chance.

But it really doesn't matter. The perception among Berners is that the DNC and Clinton wing have rigged this primary in every conceivable way against Bernie Sanders. Perception is reality in life until corrected.

The DNC really needs to do a better job of the "correcting" part. What happened in NV did not help. From what I've seen, the Nevada branch of the DNC gave the appearance that they railroaded the session. Seems like they could have easily avoided that appearance if nothing else.

just to much crap there not to wonder!

27. But even if the person with more votes wins, the person with fewer votes gets a chance

to speak.

And when the vote is very close, the individual votes are counted. A voice vote does not permit the votes to be counted.

And the qualifications of delegates to a state convention should be reviewed and approved BEFORE the date of the convention.

The problem with the Nevada convention was the poor organization.

The Hillary people were in charge because they had more votes, but they couldn't run a fair convention. They were incompetent.

Hillary needs to show more than anything that she is as competent as she claims.

She failed in Nevada.

What a mess.

And we would not know how disorganized the Hillary people were had the Bernie people not acted as they did.

31. Sander is the last thing we need: he needs to get out He is a loser

[blackspade]

3. That was some shady shit.

[Duval]

26. +1!

[knightmaar]

7. Don't ever believe it's a coincidence

A Canadian Federal Election was scheduled on May 2, 2011.

Who chose the date? The Conservative Party.

Do you think the old fogey party *accidentally* picked a day when all of the students in the country happen to be moving and not sure what riding they should vote in?

[KPN]

12. Yes, they just weren't thinking!

[cantbeserious]

11. America Has Been Hijacked By The 1% - This Should Be Blatantly Obvious To All Citizens

eom

[KPN]

13. But obviously, and sadly, it is not.

[zalinda]

14. Some don't care, because they got theirs and to hell with anyone else. eom

[KPN]

15. Yup. And then there's the low info folks.

[zalinda]

21. Sometimes I wonder if they aren't one and the same. eom

[JDPriestly]

28. If you have talked to any Hillary voters, there you are.

Low information voters.

[Cryptoad]

16. Since Bern lost to Hillary,,,

Bern's bunch have deciding to try do a little bullying along with their
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah

[tom_kelly]

18. You're being annoying in

Most of your posts just to be annoying.

[zeemike]

19. Like Gore lost to Bush.

But hey a win is a win. No need to get all moral about it.

[raindaddy]

22. You're making it clear you either didn't watch the video or didn't understand what happened..

This shouldn't even be about Hillary vs Sanders.. This is about our democratic process. If watched without bias, it's clear Roberta Lang the Chair had no intention to engage in a democratic process and insure the majority had a voice in the proceedings. Her only interest was to control the outcome...

This should be of concern no matter who you're voting for.. And why Dem party officials are willing to alienate and divide an already divided party even further is a question that is hard to find a rational answer for...

[JDPriestly]

29. Hillary's bunch not being able to organize fairly.

The convention was being run in a bullying, unjust way.

Is that what we will get with Hillary?

Probably yes.

That's what her foreign policy was like. Bullying and unjust.

Feel the Bern!

[Geronimoe]

23. DNC is a subsiduary of Wall Street

thanks to Bill Clinton. The fix is in.

[kadaholo]

24. Outrageous Glimpse...

into our so-called "democracy" at this point in history.

The world must be standing in awe of the deterioration of our county.

I know I am!
