It could be the rash of underhanded tricks and crimes that the republican party has been engaging in
I don't know it could be interstate cross check,
It could be the gutting of the voter rights act
It could be the gerrymandering
It could be the russian propaganda war that republicans seem to be ok with
It could be potential russian tampering with voting systems as has been recently reported
It could be the fishy scenario that thousands and thousands of black folks waited hours in line to vote and then just decided to not cast a vote for president.
It could be the closing of polling station in predominantly black neighborhoods.
It could be these and a lot of other things as well... Should the Democratic party always be working to better itself? Yes it should. But this guy is not helping anything. I used to think it was just his tone and his delivery that made him sound like that. I am beginning to think it is all because he got his ego boost and thinks he gets to dictate what a party has to do to appease him. A party that he refuses to join. I don't mind pressuring the democratic party to move their message left. But you don't get to hijack the party and start making demands. Not when you aren't willing to put your ass on the line for it.
Then there is the fact that we ALL need to be mindful of our politicians in our party and those that claim to be our friends. Looking at the Russian operation of how they keep their people in total disarray I'd keep a very keen eye trained on Mr. Sanders. In russian operations when people get riled up about their government they will at times fund part of the movement against them and control the message. I have been very suspicious of Jill Stein and I think we had better keep an eye on Sanders' tactics as well. It smells bad. And if it smells bad it's likely rotten.
I know this post is going to piss off a lot of folks but it's just my opinion. If I can be critical of Corey Booker and other dems I can be critical of the guy throwing mud at my party.
This is a great video to watch.
