No it was not or Bernie would never have one any states other than Vermont. John that load of crap belongs in the conspiracy theories group.

What an absurd statement! So, if the DNC was going to rig the election, they would have made it obvious by denying him victories everywhere but his home state? It's becoming impossible to take you seriously.

Did you read the report?

Give it a rest, John. Honestly, you're starting to sound like a disillusioned 22-year old unemployed psych major trapped in an embittered old man's body.

Bernie didn't run to be president. He ran to rekindle a movement among the Occupy Wall Street crowd looking for meaning outside of their parents' basements. He got his just rewards.

Was it not an absurd statement?

And without describing you in unflattering terms, I will say that the contempt you've shown on this forum for Bernie and his supporters since the primaries began is long past the point of being insulting and excessive.

Seconded.

Perhaps, but beating Bernie's dead horse is not gonna get you anything beyond a sore arm.

For what it's worth, I'm beyond Bernie now and will vote for Hillary. I'm about the process these days. The process which churned out perhaps the only Democrat who could lose to a man like Trump has to be reformed.

For all our criticism of the Republicans, they have nominated a candidate that they both detest and fear as the doom of their party because he was the choice of their electorate. They honored their commitment to their base at great cost after much soul searching. Would that the Democrats had behaved as honorably.

Right. They nominated Trump out of solemn respect for the will of the people, because it was the right thing to do.

Where that barf emote?

They did it because they had to, not because they wanted to or it was the right thing to do. The party has deteriorated to the point that there would have been open revolt if the rabble they'd courted didn't get their Boaty McBoatface candidate choice.

Gotta call BS on that one. There are dozens of Democrats who would prove capable of losing to Trump. Sixteen Republican candidates did.

The only Republicans who actually engaged in "soul searching" and acting "honorably" are those who have not endorsed/supported Trump. The Democrats' rules were put in place because of the McGovern debacle and Bernie is the modern day McGovern. The rules worked.
