(891 posts)then ask them to hand you the nomination even though you're losing in the popular vote, pledged delegates and states the next.
You cannot claim that the democrat party is corrupt one day, then claim to be a democrat as soon as it's politically expedient to be one... then start calling them corrupt the day after you realize that they don't want you to be their nominee.

(22,666 posts)1. Hundreds of thousands couldn't vote in key states: NY, AZ, PA - due to BOE shenanigans in those states, likely by Clinton supporters or operatives or superdelegate meddling
2. "Superdelegates" were bribed by the Clinton Victory Fund - promised $$$ to support HER even if the voters in that state (POPULAR VOTE) voted for SANDERS
If you truly subscribe to the POPULAR VOTE system ie: whoever wins popular vote, then #2 should bother you intensely.
Problem is, you DON'T. As long as your girl "wins" - by whatever hypocritical and foul tactics she can.
So yea, tell me all about it. Pfft.
