Sander's hypocrisy concerning primaries

I'm putting this here simply because I don't feel like wading through the river of denial.😛


I’m Sorry Sanders Supporters, but Bernie is Being Fairly Hypocritical on a Few Things

May 30, 2016 By Allen Clifton


I have been critical of some of Bernie Sanders’ tactics over the past year, I still do think he’s a good guy who has a lot of great intentions. I don’t agree with all of his policy stances, but I do agree with most of them. If he ended up being the Democratic nominee this year, I would proudly fight for and support him just as I would Hillary Clinton or pretty much any solid Democratic candidate.

Look, if you’re someone who honestly believes the system is “rigged” against Sanders, or “voter fraud” gave Clinton wins in New York, Arizona and Nevada, then stop reading this now. Nothing I say is going to convince you that you’re wrong. Heck, even when FiveThirtyEight.com (a website that does nothing but statistically break down things) used indisputable math to prove that the system isn’t “rigged” against Sanders — many called them a “shill for Clinton.” That’s what I mean when I say a lot of people really don’t want facts, they just want to be told what they want to hear. But the truth of the matter is, Sanders is being rather hypocritical with his criticism of the primary process and superdelegetes.

We the People have spoken, Hillary has more votes and more delegates, why should Sanders oligarchy prevail and rig the results in his favor.

I think that this may be a brand new combination of two virulent strains of Clinton Derangement Syndrome: A "The Clintons stole this election" strain seems to have had a baby with one of the 'The Clintons can't do anything right" strains, for a whole new iteration of the mental virus that is even more completely disconnected from reality that its predecessors were, combined. So we're forced to deal with "The Clintons can't do anything right, but have somehow managed to steal this election," as dumb as that premise actually is in real life.

Another fruitless (and frankly moronic) attack by the keyboard warriors at Revolution Messaging.
