CHESS:
This game is rigged. The pawns get to move almost NOWHERE, whereas the QUEEN (DETECT ANY RESEMBLANCE HERE???) can just move wherever she likes with no apparent rhyme or reason. She’s not a bishop or a rook. Why does she move like one? Also, the black pieces have to move second, which is TOTALLY unfair and needs to be looked into, unless I am playing with the white pieces today.

SCRABBLE:
I played exactly the same word as my opponent, using exactly the same letters, and received fewer points for it — just because I wasn’t on some pink square, which my opponent claimed gave you DOUBLE the points. Pretty sure that’s the definition of rigged. Why would you just randomly have squares all over the board that counted for MORE or FEWER points when it’s just the same words? Also my opponent had two BLANK tiles, which just got to be WHATEVER letters she wanted. This seems made-up. Milton Bradley are shills who are trying to prevent the revolution. Also, “BERN” is totally a word.

TENNIS:
Sometimes when the ball lands it is worth 10 points and sometimes it is worth 15 points? This is not consistent. Also, sometimes you only need to win, like, 18 games? But other times you need to win maybe 30? The rules should not be like this. I hear that this game was invented by kings, and now I know why: BECAUSE IT SILENCES THE POINTS OF THE LITTLE GUY. Plus, to win you need ads, and you know who pays for ads.

HEARTS:
THIS GAME IS EVEN MORE RIGGED THAN THE ECONOMY. Hear me out. Usually when you get a heart or the queen of spades, it is an obvious negative, but somehow if you get ALL of the hearts and the queen of spades, you win? This is a blatant lie meant to disenfranchise voters, except for the time when it happened to me by mistake, then it was good.

SORRY:
You should get to move forward only the number of squares that the card says. You should not get to land on “slides” and suddenly move forward 10 squares. This is the corrupt system we are working to overturn. Also, the game required my opponent to say “Sorry” a lot and I felt like she didn’t mean it.....

1. Thanks SO much for posting this!

What a GREAT read - and a GREAT laugh!

10. I figured with all of the ugliness of late, we can use some levity! nt

7. You might want to read the group guidelines. This isn't the main board.

If you come to bury Clinton, you're in the wrong house.

No one is going to make a difference to Sanders--no one. He's done. When you lose frigging Wonkette and the Rude Pundit, you're bernt toast.

People are running from him like he just cut a "don't light a match" stanker.

9. Well, let me give you some friendly advice if you really want to "help."

You don't jump into a comedy thread and start lecturing people about what they need to do with fewer than a dozen posts under your belt and a fancy HRC avatar. Never mind your user name doesn't quite match the Democratic Party future nominee's vibe. We're all about electing MORE DEMOCRATS to public office here at DU.

No one knows you here, and there are people who are wolves who dress up in sheeps' clothing to try and shit stir. We've seen dozens of them come and go recently.

So, if you don't want to have a laugh in this thread, I recommend you just back out the way you came. This thread isn't the place for policy conversations. It's a place to laugh at an amusing article.

12. Careful.

You are in the Hillary Clinton Group.

We are a protected group not a forum.

[sheshe2]

14. I am a host.

Only come back if you understand the rules.

18. The people who feel left out did it to themselves

They wanted to be independent, didn't want the Democratic Party or the Republican Party to have their information or for whatever reason, they chose to be outside the party. Same with Sanders, he didn't want to be part of the party.

Suddenly, he decides to run for President and the only way he can do that is with some party affiliation, so he sides with the party he has scorned for so long and becomes a Democrat. Suddenly he has this huge following of independents who want to vote for him but, guess what, they have to be part of the party in many states (I think it should be all primaries). But they don't want to join the party to vote for him, so what is left to do?

Throw temper tantrums, get violent and threaten people because they didn't want to follow the rules. I can understand them wanting a more progressive candidate, but you have to work the system to do that, you can't have a revolution in the manner they think they are going to get one.

All they are going to get is branded and further disenfranchised for the disruption they have created and plan for the upcoming weeks/months.

Bernie Sanders is not a progressive, he his destructive.

6. I'm glad there's so much mocking happening.

Too bad it never seems to penetrate those teflon-coated brains that if everyone is making fun of you, you probably deserve at least some of it.
