Top Sanders supporter falls for Fox ploy to divide Bernie and Hillary

[RandySF]

Prominent Bernie Sanders supporter Shaun King (who is openly campaigning for Sanders) just used Facebook to promote a conspiracy theory concocted by Fox News ultra-conservative commentator, and comedian, Dennis Miller.

According to Miller — in a comment posted on Facebook, which King then shared approvingly with his followers — Bernie Sanders would be winning the Democratic nomination right now if it weren’t for “the rigged [superdelegate] game.”

The not-terribly-objective Miller recommends that Bernie Sanders’ supporters “don’t take it,” and “rise up.”

Lest anyone think that Dennis Miller is recommending this out of his great love for progressive ideals, Miller has previously claimed that Democrats created the “birther” lie, and that President Obama “has Islamic sympathies.” Miller also suggested that the protester who was sucker-punched at Donald Trump’s recent rally shared some of the blame for getting hit in the face. That’s who Dennis Miller is. (He went off the rails about 15 years ago.)

Let’s put aside the fact that Sanders announced last night on Rachel Maddow’s show that if he can’t win the popular vote, he’s going to try to take Hillary’s superdelegates in order to secure the nomination anyway. It will be interesting to see if Shaun King now criticizes Sanders’ effort to rig the election by super delegate.

1. OH please, enough with the party-approved canned messages.

The fact that someone other than a Sanders supporter is saying something, doesn't make the Sanders supporter any less right in proclaiming their statement.

The sun does rise in the East. And whether it is a Sanders supporter or a Fox news analyst or Dennis Miller saying it, it is true.

The exit polls in both Missouri and Illinois showed us Sanders supporters exactly how carefully a rigged game it is.

There is a science to exit polls and how to apply them, and in both those states, decent voting analysts are saying the same thing.

3. Exit polling is not perfect. Enough with the conspiracies!

12. The JFK shooting - when someone or anyone questioned it, they were considered

to be conspiracy theorists.

But it turned out those of us questioning are the realists.

Same thing regarding those of us who are investigating the money supply and the Banking frauds. And the fraudulent government, which has been so eager to hide the truth, and protect the Fraudulent Powers that Be..

4. Exit polls

Aren't official results. The official results say Hillary won. Sorry but you have no choice but to accept it.

13. Even if she makes the WH,

The energy surrounding her dictates that she will have to do an August 1974.

Sometimes the people, when united, do not have direct voting victories, but indirect ones, like when Slime Ball Tricky Dick had to do his WH exit.

And meanwhile the energy propelling millions of new voters into being interested in getting rid of the Old Guard and their Frauds, they will continue their ascent!

5. Did you really just bring up exit polls?

6. +1000000

Exit polls have taken a really bad rap since 2000, when they showed a truth that the media did not want to deal with. Now they are not talked about at all when it comes to vote totals in a given contest. They are massaged and "corrected" to reflect the "official" result.

Prior to 2000, exit polls were used to gauge the level of election fraud in elections around the world. Can't have that, now, can we?

11. And that is only part of the story.

Activists tried to get the Democratic Party Leaders aware of how snakey it is to have the easy to convert and easy to flip electronic machinery counting our votes. But Party Leaders seemingly like those machines. And have a positive attitude toward gerrymandering also!

9. Don't you know?

On this site a 'D' behind the name means they are beyond reproach and the only thing more loathsome and untruthful is a Bernie supporter.

At least that seems to be the reasoning for many alerts and there's never any disputing of facts, only discrediting the source or "Hey, look over there" why they click the alert link.

2. Oh my

[dchill]

7. "Hillary’s superdelegates."

What a concept, in a supposed democracy.

[reformist2]

8. It's a bit sickening. They love the party apparatus, more than democracy.

[dchill]

10. Protecting themselves from democracy...

for all our sakes!

[Metric System]

15. Superdelegates have existed since the 1980s. Sorry you just found out about them. Either way,

Hillary is ahead in the popular vote and in pledged delegates.

[dchill]

16. Oh, were those "Hillary's superdelegates," too?

You're right, I didn't know that.
