Bernie Sanders Walks Away from Question About Chaos at NV

the past 24 hours, reports have surfaced of threats from Bernie supporters to the family (including the grandchild) of the Nevada Democratic Party Chair. Bernie was asked about the chaos in Nevada and turned his back and walked away.


From the NY Times:


Thrown chairs. Leaked cellphone numbers. Death threats spewed across the Internet. No, this is not the work of Donald J. Trump supporters, some of whom have harassed critics of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. It was angry supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders who were directing their ire at the Nevada Democratic Party — and its chairwoman, Roberta Lange — over a state convention on Saturday that they think was emblematic of a rigged political system.

...really showed that uppity reporter, huh?

Given that many Sanders supporters are actually sane, in my book these "Bernie or Bust" types can go pound sand up their asses...and Sanders, too!

PEACE!

She really is the most powerful person in the world!!!!!!

Remember all of those years when we wished more people would get involved and vote? We should've remembered the saying, "Be careful what you wish for."
