Dude, you've told us all about that fancy estate you live on.

Wonder what would be your reaction if Bernie was caught wearing a $12,000 top.

I am much more interested in what the candidates say rthan in what they are wearin. I thought the whole purpose was to slect a candidate for POTUS not to hire a clothes horse model. YMMV

Well some good news at last.

You know what asshole?

You're really starting to piss me off.

Why in the Hell should Bernie have to give his voters special training to work around the ridiculous obstacles that were put in front of his voters?

A wrinkle in the rule allowing independents to participate in the Democratic presidential primary requires them to specifically request a Democratic ballot, an extra step that tens of thousands of early voters there are neglecting.

Just 14 percent of the more than 2 million registered nonpartisan absentee voters in California have received a Democratic ballot so far, according to numbers compiled by the nonpartisan research company Political Data Inc. – a glaring drop-off that observers ascribe to a pervasive lack of education about the balloting process.

This is the same kind of shit that the goddamned crackers in old Dixie did to black people when they tried to register to vote.

A sparring partner isn't a foil. Not even close.

As long as the word partner is in there it is.

Not when that partner punches hard with serious intent. Which is exactly what Bernie did. He's hurt Hillary's candidacy and is still swinging.

You really don't know what the hell you are talking about, Tom.

California made every effort to educate NPP voters who requested mail in ballots. If voters chose not to read the actual ballot they requested and the accompanying voter's guide until it was after the deadline? They can still vote electronically without a provisional ballot by showing up at the polling station and surrendering their mail in ballot. We had numerous voters at the polling station where I volunteered who actually did just that.

If they didn't bring in their mail in ballot despite the clear instructions to do so in the voters guide? They were given the option to go home and get it or they were allowed to vote a provisional ballot.

As to Greg Palast, he's full of shit that California provisional ballots are placebos. Every provisional ballot is counted by the County Registrar after it's verified that they haven't attempted to vote twice. As in, once by mailing it in and then voting at their polling station.

Sorry that you're all pissed off by the erroneous information that you've chosen to believe but as Old Honest Abe once said, "Don't believe everything you read on Reddit".

I actually am an asshole and proud of it, at least you got that point right dillweed.

In closing, bite me.

Regards, Bob

Why did the DNC allow Bernie to run in the primaries as a Democrat?
After all he is not a registered Democrat.

Yeah, I expect he's getting his ass straightened out by the president today.
