to the convention to protest. This is not going to go away.

They messed with the wrong group of people this time.

I am concerned about the line: LiberalArkie Apr 2016 #1
Why? The DNC has OPPOSED Bernie since the beginning Joob Apr 2016 #4

Not a problem for me, After being a registered Democrat for 37 years, the party purged Dragonfli Apr 2016 #23
Yea, right at the same time, they thanked me for my $50 contribution (to Bernie) and asked LiberalArkie Apr 2016 #24
It is a very easy step to use his information to try to poach supporters, to then purge them from Dragonfli Apr 2016 #31
this is a crazy story RazBerryBeret Apr 2016 #54
It's not so much the Democratic Party... malokvale77 Apr 2016 #25
I've always given to the DNC, but not THIS year. And never again as long as DWS is chair. Zen Democrat Apr 2016 #30
It's not just DWS. malokvale77 Apr 2016 #44
Exactly. DWS has become so toxic that I expect she won't be around too much longer. stillwaiting Apr 2016 #66

From what I gather from the article is that they think millions are going to change bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #7
No, but it well push the party further to the right when HRC doesn't win the general. Like they LiberalArkie Apr 2016 #8
Well the thing is I think this year is different. Maybe they will listen to Bernie and our issues bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #9
Really I do not think it matters as long as someone is in the WhiteHouse that Wall Street likes. LiberalArkie Apr 2016 #10
Maybe it's time for people to say "enough" bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #12

Whose more conservative in the Democratic Party than Hillary Clinton? Zen Democrat Apr 2016 #32
There are a lot of local and state Democrats more conservative. Kim Davis was D until last year. LiberalArkie Apr 2016 #35
What's the difference? malokvale77 Apr 2016 #45

Just my opinion, but I think if the primary had been fair MissDeeds Apr 2016 #11
I agree bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #13

We get closer to realizing the goals by committing to stay in the fight. pat_k Apr 2016 #59
OK, but who here is arguing to not stay in the fight? dreamnightwind Apr 2016 #60
Yes, it is just a matter of perspective -- change from within, pat_k Apr 2016 #70
