Has a Bernie Sanders supporter taken the time to go state by state

to point out the "errors" and just plain dirty tricks in the election process? You see, I don't believe that these machinations were a once and done. I think these kind of hi-jinks go on in our local and state communities all the time and that it stretches into the private sector, where there is handshakes between the parties. Some people call it a shadow government, some people call it social networks or the hidden hand. In some places it is easier to identify as a good ole boy or gal system. It is precisely what a Bernie Sander's presidency would expose, which is why they feel threatened by him. They have a good thing going skirting the laws without fear of reprisal and it consistently undermines our Civil Rights.

So, if you want to find the heart and soul of a status quo, or, more accurately, an entitled, privileged society, follow the people who belong to the public and private organizations that control the dialogue. If Bernie Sanders doesn't make it into the presidency, maybe there will be grassroots opportunities to expose the system that helped undermine the process. Those private sector organizations that are heavily influencing our public institutions or officials will vary from state to state. They will have their own mission and loyalties. But, talking about them might be the first step in exposing the very beast that we're fighting against.

And, maybe it begins by itemizing all the questionable election activities that cropped up during the primary?
