Which party is cracking up?

[Trust Buster]

1. The umpteenth identical thread. How informative.

[B Calm]

2. Thanks for the DNC for slamming a shitty candidate down our throats. I have no doubt we're

cracking up!

[Dr Hobbitstein]

8. By slamming down our throat, do you mean 3,000,000+ voters more than the other guy?

Yeah, I thought that's what you meant.

[B Calm]

9. No, it was the over 500 super delegate lead before the first vote was cast

in Iowa. That's what I meant by cramming a shitty conservative candidate down our throats!

[Dr Hobbitstein]

10. So, 3,000,000+ more votes then.

That's what I thought.

[B Calm]

11. Continue to ignore what the fuck I just said!

[Dr Hobbitstein]

12. Continue to be outraged by the popular vote! nt

[B Calm]

13. 59 million people haven't even voted yet, we'll see how that ends first.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

14. With Hillary as victor.

I don't see any possible way for Bernie to win enough pledged delegate, seeing how they're awarded proportionally.

[B Calm]

16. Okay, got it!

[Dr Hobbitstein]

17. Yeah, math and statistics are hard. nt

[B Calm]

18. LOL

[Lizzie Poppet]

35. Yay! Standard Camp Weathervane Talking Point #2!

You could probably save time and keystrokes by posting the list somewhere and just responding with a number...

[Dr Hobbitstein]

37. You have a problem with facts? nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

38. No.

Any more pointless questions?

[Dr Hobbitstein]

39. Then why is it an issue when someone points out said facts

in face of baseless rhetoric?

[Lizzie Poppet]

40. It's "an issue?"

Well, golly, that's good to know!

[Dr Hobbitstein]

43. You complained about my factual answer in response to baseless rhetoric.

If figure since you were complaining and all, then you take issue.

[Lizzie Poppet]

48. That wasn't complaining. That was snark.

The post of yours I responded to has some problems, logic-wise (primarily a planted axiom/straw man on your part). So I made fun of it on that basis. No issue, no complaining...just a bit of ridicule.

Happy to clear that up for you.

[tokenlib]

41. Closed primaries giving that edge are so impressive..

..open primaries and you wouldn't be gloating.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

42. You mean like when she won the majority of open primaries as well?

She won 11/19 open primaries. 11>8

[NorthCarolina]

22. This is how

political parties and republics die. We are witnessing it first hand.

[Ikonoklast]

30. We know what's best for you.

After all, we are your betters, and I don't see the likes of you having cocktails with Henry Kissinger ant time soon.

[Tarc]

3. When bros threaten to riot because they themselves were unable to follow the rules, you bet

[timmymoff]

7. By knowingly denying the removal of the delegates voting registrations being changed

over a short time, you show how these things do not bother you. Or did you know, benefit of the doubt says you didn't know. So which is it?

[Tarc]

24. Hillary Clinton won the state of Nevada

That is the be all and end all of the situation. Whatever antics the Sanders crowd gets up to to subvert that will be put down. In Nevada or any other state.

[portlander23]

26. Not put down

[Tarc]

27. Works for me

The Sanders camp tied to swipe an election from the Nevada voters.

It was unsuccessful.

[azurnoir]

45. yes that why a Hillary supporting chair changed the rules midway through and then adjourned

prematurely amid calls to continue

[timmymoff]

34. Yes bring us to heel

but be aware this group we aren't scared of those not willing to fight. Kind of like your candidate is scared to do for us.

[LexVegas]

4. Young white males are mad that they aren't getting their way in this primary.

Grrrr...

[Armstead]

20. Oh stop racializing everything

[stonecutter357]

28. +1

[frylock]

36. Yeah, we get it. You hate white people.

[azurnoir]

46. Damn that's not even a Meatloaf average ya know 2 otta' 3

you got 1 otta' 3 maybe and even that's over generalizing

[bigtree]

5. Sanders fans disrupted the convention, threatening speakers, brawling, throwing water bottles

...most of the Clinton folks had already left at the point when this pic was taken, but Sanders fans were still causing a disruption.

It's typical of the Sanders campaign here to have someone post a pic like this and LIE about it. If you don't want police standing between you and the stage, don't threaten the speakers or disrupt into a near riot. That seems simple enough. Somehow I doubt the Sanders folks there were as surprised by the police stepping in as you seem to be. Collect these idiots who disrupt and there will be no need for police to protect participant's safety.

You supporters here ought to be ashamed of how your people behaved at the convention, but it's reflective of the disrespect and disruption perpetrated here in Sanders' name that there's a bevy of bullshit being posted over what really occurred.

[bobbobbins01]

6. Video please.

Lets see the brawling.

[bigtree]

31. stop the bullshittery

...the police were at the stage because the Sanders fans caused a disruption and some members feared for their safety.

Way to go. You must be so proud. Don't even pretend you don't know why they were up there. What a goddamn sham of a post. You should be fucking ashamed for trying to defend this.

[bobbobbins01]

32. Video please.

Stop the bullshittery your self.

[bigtree]

49. you know what?

...I'm not here for you, thank you.

[azurnoir]

47. Video please no playing around no ad hominem unless of course that's all you got

[Punkingal]

15. Here is what will happen this election.

The Republicans will hold their noses and unite behind Trump, because he really had no competition besides Cruz and they don't want him. The Democrats will have a convention with pictures and actions like this, and worse, and Trump will be the next President.

[SidDithers]

19. Hey, welcome back!...

Sid

[NorthCarolina]

21. What's with all the brown shirts?

Did they anticipate trouble?

[djean111]

25. IMO, they were hoping for trouble, and actively instigating for trouble.

They will get their trouble at the ballot box. I doubt they will be sending their brown-shirts out to force us to vote.

[Buns_of_Fire]

23. There's a rumor that both parties will now require body-cavity searches at

all events, including their respective national conventions, to check for things like rotten tomatoes, heads of cabbage, bottles of water, and other throw-able items.

I have no idea how truthful this rumor is, especially since I just now made it up.

[stonecutter357]

29. bernie ought to be ashamed.

[zappaman]

33. 420!

[FSogol]

44. Everything old is new again!
