is bullying really all they have?

is the letting people vote without telling them they get no choice too much to ask for?
Did Hillary deprive us of a more vigorous field through undue pressure or intimidation?
does that matter?
bullies?
do you want to live with one?
go to school with one?
work for one?
listen to one?
treat other nations that way?
is that the hot ticket?

But it is kinda funny seeing Bernie fans concerned about bullying, ask Jim Mcdermott.

The polling place is still secure for voters to vote for anyone they wish.

Now, there are some rules, like registration requirements and the like, but that's about it. You get your ballot and you mark your choices. Nobody can force anyone to do otherwise.

This seems like a strange set of questions to me. Have you ever been bullied at your polling place?

7. It seems that's all Bernie supporters have left. They certainly don't have the votes, so they bully.

Desperate lashings out as his losing campaign faces the inevitable. Not pretty. Maybe afterward some of them will take a hard look back at their actions during this losing phase of their campaign and come out of it better people.

Hillary Clinton spoke to a crowd of supporters in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 5. By all accounts, the atmosphere inside was initially warm and celebratory among the supporters gathered in the gymnasium of East Los Angeles College. But during Clinton’s speech, multiple anti-Clinton protesters were removed from the event after interrupting her, shouting, and chanting while she was speaking. She ended her speech early due to the interruptions and shouting from protesters in attendance.
As they left the gymnasium, Clinton’s supporters were forced to walk through a gauntlet of harassment. Anti-Clinton protesters lined the gym’s exit on both sides, and as attendees left, they shouted obscenities at Clinton’s supporters. “F*ck you!” one man screamed into a woman’s ears using a megaphone. Witnesses report that protesters called female Clinton Supporters gendered slurs and suggested the supporters commit suicide. According to twitter reports, one protester snatched a sign reading “We love you Madam Prez!” out of a little girl’s hands and tore it up in front of her — Hillary had signed the poster herself. The protesters held signs reading “LIAR LIAR LIAR,” “HILLARY FOR PRISON,” and “BERNIE 2016.” Chants of “Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!” echoed through the gauntlet.

Like how HRC needs to use all these Super Pacs so that she can end the Super Pacs.
She'll Frack us right into clean energy!
We need to negotiate abortion rights away so that we will have stronger abortion rights.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is freedom.

You are free; to do what they tell you.
