What is the proper response when you see your vote has been stolen?

[J_J_]

It seems the Nevada Democratic elite were completely prepared to piss people off, they knew there would be a response when they behaved like dictators.

This is why they had the brownshirts all prepared to kick everyone out.

So what were people supposed to do when they witnessed such overt cheating?

What is appropriate according to the media and Hillary people?


Seems any normal person might react to the theft of their vote in a Democracy, one that wastes all our money on wars trying to create our form of government elsewhere.

Instead of apologizing for their behavior, or giving us some avenue for protesting this injustice....they are just lying and pretending it didn't happen.

Instead of admitting what they have done, they use the classic "Big LIE" used by Republicans and corporate media to say the exact opposite of reality.

If the Democratic elite and their corporate media did nothing wrong, why can't they at least admit what happened with the registrations and why Bernie delegates were mad in the first place?

1. Hillary won the Nevada primary. Sanders was the one trying to steal votes.

[Fawke Em]

8. Nope. They were angry over the restrictive rules Lange tried to enact.

I hope someone tapes Thom Hartmann's show today so I can link to it here.

He has people on explaining WHY people were angry and it wasn't about Hillary, per se (although her minions lost their candidate a lot of votes by pulling the stunts they did).

[LoverOfLiberty]

11. Yes, Hillary won Nevada

fair and square. That Sanders wasn't able to manipulate a delegate lead in his favor means democracy won.

[J_J_]

15. "wasn't able to manipulate a delegate lead in his favor"

He had more delegates as you admit,there should not have been anything to manipulate.

[LoverOfLiberty]

21. Of course he didn't have more delegates

He lost Nevada by every measure.

[J_J_]

23. They didn't allow +60 Bernie delegates in, held the vote early

so no one really knows who had more delegates

[LoverOfLiberty]

28. Yes, we do

You want to deny facts, then deny facts. Your fantasy does not reality make.

[Blue Meany]

17. Well she won, but there were a few shenanigans at the Caucus

that gave her an edge, like holding the largest one at a casino owned by one of her supporters having him give paid time off to his employees so that they could participate; and allowing them to participate without registering to vote.

[BeyondGeography]

26. Caucuses suck. Both sides benefit/suffer.

It's not a plot with brownshirts included.

[JDPriestly]

31. Please listen to Thom Hartmann's programs yesterday and today.

Don't fall for the Dean scream moment that the media is trying to create.

The Bernie supporters wanted a chance to participate meaningfully in the convention.

Adopting Roberts' Rules of Order would have been a good idea. Hillary won in Nevada but by a bare minimum of votes, and as I understand it from Bernie supporters who were there, with some unfair, heavy-handed maneuvering. Thus, there were feelings on the parts of Bernie supporters that they could not trust the Hillary supporters.

There is blame to go around in the management of the Nevada Democratic Party. And what in the world was Barbara Boxer, a California senator doing, berating Bernie supporters in Nevada, not even her state? Where was Harry Reid? Why wasn't he speaking instead of Barbara Boxer?

The Nevada convention appears to have been organized to create a Dean scream moment.

The media is behind it. They don't want net neutrality. They don't want the overturning of Citizens United. And why? Because the end of net neutrality and the continuation of Citizens United means big profits for them. That includes MSNBC.

Democrats should not be sucked in by the manipulations of the press and the poor management of the Nevada Democratic Party.

Bernie is so peaceful that even a bird fearlessly lands on his podium.

Bernie is the best candidate in 2016 by far.

Don't let a media-created Dean scream moment divide our Democratic Party. And let's be thankful that Barbara Boxer will be retiring soon. As a Californian, I have always proudly supported her, but she let her emotions rule during her speech and reaction to the Nevada convention attendees, and that is a sign that her time in the Senate should end. She is not emotionally up to handling difficult situations any more. Thanks, Barbara Boxer, for your service. But it is really time to leave while you are ahead.

I feel sad to have to say that about Barbara Boxer, but she showed herself to be ill equipped for her job. She was supposed to unite her listeners, not divide them further. Or??? Maybe she was supposed to divide them???? Maybe that was her purpose, conscious or not?

13. I already covered your response "they are just lying and pretending it didn't happen"

I was looking for what exactly Hillary people would do if they thought their vote was stolen?

[YouDig]

2. What the Dems in Nevada did when Bernie tried to steal the votes was very well handled.

[J_J_]

19. "they use the classic "Big LIE" used by Republicans and corporate media"

no need to post, I already covered your response in the Op

[HubertHeaver]

16. You need to research how the caucus system works.

[auntpurl]

4. ^^^ what they said.

[floriduck]

5. True justice is worth fighting for.

And that is not to imply violence is acceptable. Fighting means doing whatever you can to make life better for the majority of citizens.

[Lizzie Poppet]

6. Their response was mild compared to what it might have been...

...at other points in out nation's history. Very mild...

[John Poet]

7. To KICK SOME ASS is the proper response.

Too bad no one actually did, except in the fairy tales created by the Clinton forces.

[nc4bo]

14. It's not like election integrity hasn't been a valid concern for years and sorry ass Democrat$

Including the head cheese has done very, very little to clean it up.

The problems have excisted for years and years. By not working to hold clean elections and elections the majority of the public have confidence in, the Democrats are as corrupt as the Republicans.

Weakness or complacency, the excuses don't matter now. In either situation, the Democratic party has lost nearly every bit of credibility and has proven it can not be entrusted to keep even its own party's election process clean.

Truth be known, the U.N. should be overseeing our elections, including the in-party elections.

[Vincardog]

30. Bingo. In response to the OP the response should be to document the theft and prosecute the offenders

Take them to court and if necessary start a general strike until you get satisfaction.

[polly7]

9. I would see red.

No idea what I would do, but it wouldn't be pretty.

[uponit7771]

10. NOT threaten someones life

[jeff47]

12. Well, when it helps Clinton, you are supposed to do nothing.

When the GOP does it this fall, you can be sure the same people will be demanding a general strike and rioting.

[LexVegas]

18. For Berniebros? Check the voing machines for Cheetos stained finger prints. nt

[J_J_]

20. So I see that no one has given me the proper response to election fraud

We are supposed to just sit down and shut up.

Some democracy.

[arcane1]

22. Or at least sit down and sing "God Save the Queen" n/t

[LadyHawkAZ]

24. We have already been there twice- 01 and 04

There's probably a large overlap between the people who swore, screamed and protested over Dubya and the ones now condemning the Sanders camp for doing the same thing.

Scary, isn't it?

[Recursion]

25. Attending the state convention to out-organize the people who stole it and correct the theft

Which is in fact what happened.

[HooptieWagon]

27. Torches, pitchforks, tar and feathers, and guillotines.

But that's just my opinion.

[riversedge]

29. What did you actually 'see'????-

[seabeyond]

35. Sanders had less people show up, missing 462. Vote was not being stolen. Proper response

When the loser throws fits and starts problems?

[Agnosticsherbet]

36. Nevada primary results - Clinton 52.6% Sanders 47.3%

If Sanders people and managed to take the majority of delegates, it would have been voters for Clinton whose votes were stolen.

It didn't happen, so no votes were stolen.
