Bernie slams the DNC and Hillary. "Anointment"

[pinebox]

He's of course correct.
The new rules put in place show that & all polls show Bernie beating Trump handily. It's now getting to the point where I feel the DNC is intentionally pissing on Bernie's head and his supporters. A great big FU is going to happen when Bernie wins California.

1. His posture is so bad that

whenever I see a picture like this or see him on tv I just want to say "Stand up straight".

[think]

4. Wow...

[pinebox]

9. They have no argument

and pontificate on here to win best supporting roll in a faux drama.

[Ferd Berfel]

46. at least - wow!

[pinebox]

8. And that has to do with what exactly?

This is getting to be a thing with you Hillary supporters isn't it?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2012549

When in doubt, go total ad hominem and try to spin it so it comes out like a choco swirl shake.

[DURHAM D]

16. Anything BS says at this point just does not matter.

Its over.

[pinebox]

17. Wrong actually

It's only just beginning.

[DURHAM D]

19. you wish

[pinebox]

26. I wish?

Actually it's a reality http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512015041
Make sure you read the replies too
As I said, it's only just beginning.

[yardwork]

35. You know, I've noticed the same thing.

The daily emails I get from Bernie saying that he's winning the nomination are also annoying, as they are not truthful. He's beginning to remind me of Jim Bakker. Do you see it?

[DURHAM D]

38. Not really, Jane looks nothing like Tammy Faye.

Why do you get daily emails from BS? I feel left out as I don't get any.

[yardwork]

41. I think he stole Hillary's database. At least, that's what I read on the internets.

[pinebox]

47. Nevermind.

[YouDig]

2. "Anointment" is #berniespeak for "getting millions more votes".

[boston bean]

3. He is so bitter.

[Armstead]

31. So apparently are about 40 percent of the people who voted in the primaries....

Maybe there's a reason for that. Maybe it's worth paying attention to.

The Democratic Party is already weak nationally. Do you really want to see it reduced to 60 percent of the support it already has?

[boston bean]

33. I'm voting for Hillary. What you gonna do?

[polly7]

44. No, he's not 'bitter'.

He's acting responsibly for all those millions who desperately need change and support him.

[Merryland]

5. Ignore Bernie, dismiss him, at your peril

He can beat Trump. She can't. End of story.

[Skwmom]

6. Bernie truly believes in the Democratic process.

[pinebox]

15. Indeed he does

[seabeyond]

54. Not if he does not get Clinton has millions more vote, hence, no anointment. He is the one demanding

annointment

[Arkansas Granny]

7. Bernie knew the rules when he entered the race. No use to complain now.

[pinebox]

11. Oh? Not so fast Granny!

Why does that sound like something out of a Bad News Bears film? lol

Check it http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2017702

So nope, not really.

[Arkansas Granny]

21. Not so fast, pinebox. They are considering new rules, but they haven't been adopted.

Besides, Bernie's main objection seems to be with the SD's who have been part of the nomination process for a few decades.

[pinebox]

32. Check out Monday

They'll adopt them.

Well a lot of people's main objection is to SD's. Who can blame them? It's completely undemocratic. Why are SD's picking a candidate before others even announced basically? Why are some SD's lobbyists?

Naw. Nobody has time for that.

Take some time & read this. It's pretty important. https://theintercept.com/2016/02/17/voters-be-damned/
One SD is a lobbyist for News Corp....we all know who that is. FOX.

[Sparkly]

48. Nothing to do with delegates, superdelegates, debates, primaries, or caucuses.

It's about the conventions themselves, security, and setting up ground rules ahead of time.

[TrueDemVA]

20. Of course he did

That doesn't mean he has to be happy with them. He is bringing up the undemocratic way they are used and how ridiculous it is to have them in the first place. They have been used to sway voters from the very beginning. Most people don't actively go onto sites like this or do their own research on the candidates. Unfortunately, they are spoon fed the "news" by corporate owned media.

When they see hundreds of delegates have already chose a side, and hear pundit after pundit tell them one candidate is the nominee from day one, that influences them right away. The Super Delegates, many of them not even elected officals, are a tool to sway people.

It's a joke. I think it is great that so many people are now seeing how corrupt our own party has become.

[Arkansas Granny]

25. By entering the race, he implicitly accepted those rules. He can't expect the party to

change the rule just because they are not favorable to him.

[TrueDemVA]

27. I agree about the rules being in place

I also agree that the rules should be criticized b/c they are unnecessary. Super Delagates only serve one purpose. To sway and influence the masses. Ultimately, they are a failsafe to keep the elite in power.

[apcalc]

10. Sanders has not been vetted...

Several Republicans I am acquainted with, and with whom I strongly disagree politically, call him "Commisar Sanders".
His vetting process would be much worse.

[pinebox]

13. Tell us please what they would vet Bernie over exactly?

"Commisar Sanders"?
They've called Obama "socialist" and "communist" 8 years. It's a boy who cried wolf scenario.
What else ya got?

Sorry but if you're worried about Bernie being vetted and support the Queen Of E-bags, you probably shouldn't be talking.

[DURHAM D]

18. This...

http://www.thepeoplesview.net/main/2016/5/19/this-ends-now-the-bernie-sanders-opposition-research-the-media-refuses-to-release

[pinebox]

23. A Hillary backed rag?

Surely you have better sources. Even the debunked Vatican talking point? LOL?

Bernie has no furniture alongside the curb.

Meanwhile, we have "Hillary The Changling"....TPP, KXL, DOMA, health care, wages, green issues, on and on. Yet you're worried about Bernie being vetted? It's hard to vet the guy who doesn't have a cemetery in his front yard.

[JTFrog]

52. Since you only accept Fox, Breitbart, Judicial Watch, Republican Joe the Intern Killer

and any other right wing sources that bash Hillary, I can see how you wouldn't be content with a source that actually likes our Democrats. As yes, we know, you've said you aren't a Democrat, but this site is still all about Democrats and electing Democrats.

You've already quadruple vetted her yourself right here on DU using the most disgusting of sources and smears. Sorry, you lost.

[TexasTowelie]

56. Good one.

[muriel_volestrangler]

22. I hardly dare ask, but what do you mean by "the Queen Of E-bags"? (nt)

[pinebox]

24. Here

http://www.ebags.com/
More baggage than you can imagine and hey! It's for sale too!

[TexasTowelie]

12. That's right.

Bernie wants to ignore all the rules used to make the nomination so he can be anointed.

[pinebox]

14. You mean those rules the DNC changes on the fly?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2017702

[BeyondGeography]

28. Bernie needs the Hillary endorsement as much as Hillary does

I'm sure the old Bernie, who was the most issues-focused politician in the country, will come back soon enough. Right now, he is Sore Loserman, who is giving his supporters the utterly false impression that he has been screwed over. Every time he does this he shrinks a little.

[pinebox]

36. Technically Bernie doesn't

Indy vote.

[Waiting For Everyman]

29. It's clear from the rules changes and cutting exit polls

for the remaining races, there will be a big push to steal delegates on the last big primary day especially from California. One reason, to make her seem stronger than she is; and the big reason, to try to siphon off enough of Bernie's delegates to officially win the nomination before the convention, which she is not on tract to do right now. With no exit polls, there will be no check on the stealing.

I hope Bernie realizes this and is preparing to play defense in an organized way.

[hack89]

37. What rule changes will influence up coming primaries?

Just wondering

[Waiting For Everyman]

39. It impacts the state conventions which choose delegates.

Like the one in Nevada. It will make them easier to rig behind the scenes, and push through with little or no input.

Pretty sure it also pertains to the Philly convention.

[hack89]

40. What specific rules are you talking about?

And when were they adoted?

[Waiting For Everyman]

42. Friday.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512017702

[hack89]

43. And what is wrong with those rules? nt

[Ferd Berfel]

49. Yep -The corporate crowd are not going to take any chances from here to the end.

They will do what ever they have to to assure that a corporate puppet is the Nom.

And now the M$M is 'all in'. There will be no honest brokers, or honest reporting in this country. Maybe will can get some of that from across the pond. maybe.

[DCBob]

30. The Bernie campaign needs to get their talking point straight about superdelegates.

On Thursday Bernie's campaign manager was embracing the Superdelegates..

"When they get to the convention," Weaver continued, "nobody has the delegates to win with pledged delegates. It's going to be the superdelegates who are going to have to decide this."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512009706

So what is it? Are they good, bad, dumb.. what?? Bernie's campaign is in total disarray.

[Surya Gayatri]

34. More bad faith and disingenuousness. Ever more of the Bern's character is revealed. No surprise.

[oasis]

55. I hate to see Bernie go out like this. Hopefully he'll do the right

thing in time to rescue his credibility.

[Bayard]

45. Curious

MSNBC this morning is all about Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, and I haven't heard anything good so far. Why would they be shoving this down our throats? Hardly sporting, truthful, or unbiased. Its getting to where I can't stand to have the TV on.

[pinebox]

51. Joy Reid is a Hillary shill

Have you noticed many people who once supported Bernie are gone?

Ed Schultz
Melissa H Perry
Krystal Ball
Martin Bashir
etc

[primnickel]

50. They never learn, that corporate media!

[SidDithers]

53. Too bad, Bernie. You lost...

You don't have enough delegates to be competitive.

It's over.

Sid

[Trust Buster]

57. Texans and Arizonians didn't feel the Bern. Neither will New Mexicans IMO.
