Team Hillary celebrating voter suppression in Wisconsin!

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

Absolutely disgusting! Who woulda thunk Clinton people would find a friend in Scott Walker!

[revbones]

1. Par for the course with her and her followers.

But that is still pretty shameful.

[CorporatistNation]

21. SO WHERE WAS MSNBC ON THIS ID ISSUE 2 WEEKS AGO?

WHAT IS THE RECOURSE? CLEARLY AN INSIDER JOB BY HILLARY CREW! F Hillary!

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. While this will benefit her in the short term

this has been cooking since Walker became governor. Short term, this will benefit the GOP in the fall.

[liberal_at_heart]

47. Yes, it will ultimately benefit the GOP in the fall. Hillary's campaign is frightfully

short sighted.

[NuclearDem]

29. I THINK YOU HAVE A STUCK KEY SOMEWHERE

I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONE IT IS THOUGH

[rbrnmw]

63. IT IS ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wildeyed]

65. I KNOW WHERE I WISH THEY WOULD STICK THAT KEY

[daleanime]

2. Proving once again, it's not those who vote that win elections....

but the ones who count the votes.


And it should be a lot more the just the Bernie Bro's that are upset about it.

[itsrobert]

3. It's a shame, Bernie's backers the Koch Brothers have inadvertently shorted Bernie's campaign

with their voter ID law. How ironic.

[Dragonfli]

7. Why do Hillary backers agree so Much with the Koch Brothers on this? - how horrific /nt

[SwampG8r]

45. Is that the same koch brothers who

Funded the dlc ?

[cui bono]

61. Is your last name Smith?

[TDale313]

4. Disgusting.

Screw any so-called "Dem" that supports this shit.

[CharlotteVale]

6. +1000000

[Dragonfli]

9. itsrobert appears to support this shit plus he holds a fantasy that a Koch bro. Sanders PAC exists

I wonder what drives such people

[TDale313]

12. Oh please.

They'll literally say anything at this point. They clearly represent their candidate well.

[Hydra]

19. They're doing a good job of sending us a clear message of what their candidate thinks, aren't they?

Also, what she thinks about us little people.

[PonyUp]

59. Then they will cry when she loses and play innocent.

[me b zola]

46. That was the craziest thing that I have seen posted today

...but the day is not over. I'm sure they will come up with something crazier.

[rhett o rick]

50. For them "The Ends Justify the Means". If anyone didn't think of them as conservatives they should

look again.

[Dragonfli]

54. "By there policy preferences ye shall know them" I can spot a conservative by what and who

they believe in from miles away, they are indeed Conservatives.

[rhett o rick]

55. Some are here only to disrupt. If we all put them on ignore, it would neutralize them.

By the way do you get picked for jury duty any more? I haven't for a while.

[Dragonfli]

56. Rarely these days /nt

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

11. Exactly what I was going to post

[Dragonfli]

5. The Clinton team holds the very same belief in voter disenfranchisement as Walker, not surprising nt

[DJ13]

31. Conservatism doesnt care whether theres an (R) or a (D) after the name

They are truly sick individuals.

[Chasstev365]

8. If they will do anything to win; they will do anything to govern

Is this who you really want as your chief executive?

[Cheese Sandwich]

10. That's truly disgusting

[AzDar]

13. ...

[jfern]

14. Disgusting scum

Wisconsin Democrats should remember that the national party did nothing to help them when they tried to recall Walker.

[questionseverything]

44. sadly you are correct

i guess no one could find their "comfy walking shoes"

[HughLefty1]

15. This should anger everyone..

NWO tactics. They will do anything to keep the grassroots candidate from winning or appearing strong.

[Skid Rogue]

16. Simple question...

How much did Clinton win the popular vote by in Nevada? If she did win the popular vote, should that count for anything?

[Fairgo]

22. Simple answer

Start your own thread

[Skid Rogue]

23. LOL! That's not an answer.

[Fairgo]

24. Your question was rhetorical

and off topic. The answer was appropriate.

[JackRiddler]

30. Sure it should.

Your concern in that case is with the Nevada caucus rules, however, and not with the Sanders delegates who showed up to vote for the candidate to whom they are pledged. That is not cheating, like voter suppression in Wisconsin is cheating.

The processes are flawed in pretty much every state - this is bad! But you haven't seen Sanders people celebrating cheating!

[CentralCoaster]

38. There is no "popular vote" in Nevada; Hillary didn't win by any measure.

"Popular vote" is not a term that applies in a caucus state like Nevada.

There are only unreliable estimates of the total numbers of caucus participants who were in one camp or the other.

[Marr]

42. What popular vote in Nevada?

I think I see now why Hillary fans can't seem to understand why that 'she's got more votes' line is so stupid.

[me b zola]

48. No one knows...caucus goers in many locations were not verified. n/t

[brooklynite]

17. So any obnoxious anti-Hillary comment is now the responsibility of "Team Sanders"?

...add to which, you know that this is an authentic comment, and not troll bait?

[hollysmom]

18. who is Robert Smith? A real person or a troll?

[pinebox]

40. Robert Snoth? He's the lead singer of The Cure XD

[hollysmom]

60. oh good. a valuable resource.

[CorporatistNation]

20. AND WE'RE ALL GONNA GET IN LINE AND VOTE FOR HILLARY IN THE GENERAL?

SHE PULLED OUT OF WISCONSIN BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT THE ID THING WAS AN ISSUE ! SO WHY DON'T THESE PEOPLE GO GET ID'S ON MONDAY OR TOMORROW! WHAT KIND OF ID'S ARE THEY ? FUCKING GOLD PLATED!

[Gothmog]

25. As Hillary Clinton Pitches Voting Rights On The Trail, Her Counsel Looks To Fight For Them in Court

Marc Elias, the chief counsel for the Clinton Victory Counsel program, is busy suing the GOP and fighting GOP vote suppression http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/16/voting-rights-lawsuits-_n_7594960.html

The general counsel for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign is heading up three high-profile lawsuits against Republican-backed voting restrictions in what is shaping up to be a perfect political and legal storm leading up to the 2016 election.

The attorney, Marc Elias, is involved in lawsuits challenging measures passed in Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin, arguing that laws cutting back early voting, restricting registration and requiring photo identification to vote, among other measures, disproportionately impact racial minorities.

Conservatives have argued such measures protect against voter fraud, and have called the lawsuits a political effort to energize Democratic voters. The financial involvement of the billionaire liberal philanthropist George Soros, who is supporting the suits, has only incensed them further.

There are high stakes to the lawsuits, as the Supreme Court displayed a certain skepticism about federal voting rights legislation when it struck down a key section of the landmark Voting Rights Act in 2013. That provision had required states and localities with a history of voting discrimination to first clear any changes to their voting laws with the federal government or in federal court. The VRA still bars voting procedures that discriminate against racial minorities, but the strength of that section hasn’t been tested since the court’s controversial decision two years ago.

So, while the politics of Elias’ cases have attracted most of the attention — Clinton recently decried measures supported by Republican governors, like fellow presidential hopeful Scott Walker of Wisconsin — there is an equivalent amount of intrigue on the legal side. Some of the provisions targeted in the lawsuits, like Wisconsin’s voter identification law, have already been challenged, while others, like Virginia’s photo ID law, haven’t yet seen the inside of a courtroom.

The GOP is very good at voter suppression and I am glad that Marc is fighting against the GOP. Unfortunately, the Wisconsin voer id law will be in effect for Tuesday primary.

[dchill]

28. Hey, this is OP-worthy.

[TheBlackAdder]

27. Politics makes for strange bedfellows, until they cry come November when they're being suppressed!

[one_voice]

32. Is that a member of her..

official campaign staff?

[snowy owl]

34. So DUers, this is okay with you? You're celebrating this? What about minorities?

I thought this was a republican thing . . .

[rhett o rick]

51. Not sure what you are saying but read my signature line.

Clinton's solution is to lock up all the minorities.

[snowy owl]

57. No, I'm with you...don't remember my take now.

Perhaps I thought I was talking to all the Clintonites who continue to support her in these efforts. Sometimes it all goes so fast! I'll be more articulate next time. Sorry about that.

[rhett o rick]

62. No need to appoligize, it was my misunderstanding. It's all cool. nm

[MadBadger]

52. I don't see any DUers celebrating this. Who is Robert Smith? Is he on DU?

[snowy owl]

35. Civil Rights issue.Don't have to be black for it to be about Rights.Young people will vote out gov..

first chance they get. He took the vote away from them.

[noiretextatique]

36. I was in a coversation with an idiot on Facebook

Who claimed that Sanders was trying to hide the fact that he is Jewish and a Democratic Socialist. She claimed that when this hidden information "came out" it would be a big problem. I see why some folks just don't bother engaging.

[CentralCoaster]

39. Ah, the old "Bernie is a Commie Jew" concern. Well, it doesn't seem to resonate.

We might just have evolved enough that the majority don't care that much about a person's religion and a lot of those who grew up in the Red baiting years have left this world.

[noiretextatique]

49. Yep...and this was a Black woman

which really isn't shocking considering the shit posted here by certain people.

[PeaceNikki]

37. One asshole on the internet does not "Team Clinton" make.

Just like one asshole Sanders supporter doesn't represent all of you. Clinton is very much against voter ID as are her (not insane) supporters.

[MineralMan]

41. Who is Robert Smith?

Never heard of him. Is he part of the Clinton campaign? Or is he just someone who likes Clinton.

I think the brush you're using may be too wide for the job at hand, maybe.

[whatchamacallit]

43. Wow, what a dirtbag

[EndElectoral]

53. That leaves the college kids outside looking in...AWESOME! Says it all..wow.

[Tarc]

58. I guess I'd call this a good ol' dose of karma

As Camp Sanders takes advantage of caucusing quirks to try to deny the vote in Nevada, that action comes back to bite them.

[wildeyed]

64. Who is Robert Smith?

A screen grab of a guy named "Robert Smith" on your Facebook saying something, maybe sarcastically, constitutes "Team Hillary"?

Whoa, that is some seriously transparent shit-stirring
