Everything that I was leery about when Bernie Sanders first decided to run

[Peacetrain]

in the Democratic Party.. has come true.. everything I was assured about on this very forum, when I voiced (wrote) about my concerns.. has turned into a lie.. lesson learned.. hopefully Senator Sanders can get his points that he wants to make across.. but I am having doubts now how this is going to turn out.. I hope I am wrong this time..


edit for spelling in title

Edit to add.. this is op is about the push to shut down the Democratic Convention.. I am opposed.. totally opposed to that .. nothing good comes from trying to destroy the party to make a point

1. I heard the possibilities. I simply allowed he was better than that. My disappointment he wasn't. Nt

2. Specifics please

[riversedge]

10. You know the specifics! I have seen your posts.

[merrily]

3. Is that the goal of the demonstation? To "shut down" the convention?

That would be a rather ambitious goal. Even Chicago 1968 did not get shut down, despite all the police brutality.

Is that the stated goal or something you made up?

6. Stated goals

Are fictitious ones!

4. I have never seen bigger sore losers in a political race in my life. nt

9. Fighting for the soul of the party doesn't just end at the conclusion of the

primaries.

No one is being a sore loser. We're just trying to ensure the Third Way doesn't continue to screw us over.

11. I've never seen such obnoxious "winners" if that;'s what you want to call yourself

Seems like a Pyrrhic victory to me....

I always knew Sanders has been a longshot to win. But the vituperativeness of the move to smash what he stands for. It's just yuch,yuch.

Whether ot not one prefers one candidate is beside the point. The phony memes, the supposed delicacy about normal political behavior, the pseudo-gentility, the assumed identification with insiders by people who are really outsiders to those who ARE inside....yuch, just yuch.

12. That's because you have a big H with an arrow on it..to the right.

5. No one's shutting down the convention.

There will, however, be protests. I thought liberals liked that sort of thing. Or do they only like it when it's not being done to the right wing of the Democratic Party?

7. Electronic election fraud everywhere is not a 'point' of contention.

If the feds won't do anything, as the state boards of elections...(they say they don't know what to do!).

don't mistake any of this for sour grapes. Our elections have been fraudulent for quite some time. Now the democrats are exposed. It hurts no matter who does it, while it hurts more when candidates don't speak out against it. ENOUGH!

8. ps. This makes Hillary an 'illegitimate' candidate, due to all the fraud.

[Txbluedog]

14. Are you claiming fraud....

To the tune of over 3 mil votes in 20 states?

[ucrdem]

13. Thank you for saying it

I still can't figure out why they allowed it. It's like an extra hoop just for Hillary: not only does she have to take out the GOP guy but she's got to deal with this loose cannon who despises Democrats and gets to say anything and write his own rules. It's a miracle she got through it but why why why.

15. No Worries Peacetrain! DNC will have the National Guard and the Police State Apparatus

Drone Strikers in the air, caged fences for detaining dissidents, and good old tear gas and rubber bullets (if not real ones)for good measure and ready for action. .

Everything will be just fine for the coronation...

16. I didn't realize how conservative and anti liberal the democratic establishment is

And I don't mean just against liberal people. I mean they are solidly against liberal ideas being embraced and fought for by the party as a whole.
