Some serious ignorance at JPR about the roll call vote

[hack89]

they actually think that each individual's vote is supposed to be submitted and tallied on the convention floor. They don't really don't understand that it is a roll call of states and each individual states tallies it's delegate's vote in private state meetings (many voted this morning) and the results are announced during the roll call.

They are screaming their heads off about cheating and stealing the vote. Truly amazing.

1. When they replace knowledge with thinking they can scream louder, they expose themselves.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. There's a lot of things they don't understand over there...

Best to stay away.

4. A lot of people who are new to politics got involved

because of Sanders, which is a good thing, but sometimes the newbies get confused.

21. Seems like a renewed effort at new voter outreach and education would be a smart move.

5. You could've left off those last five words of your title

That way it applies more broadly.

[NurseJackie]

7. Ha!! :-D

[MissB]

12. Thank you

No, really, thank you! I love that gif!

[NurseJackie]

6. Bless their angry little hearts.

[MineralMan]

8. Only about that? I think not.

[liberalnarb]

9. Why do we keep reading there?

Yeah, they say some ridiculous sh*t, but its on their own site. Let 'em alone. It doesn't really matter anyway.

10. Children are at least willing to be educate. Nt

[Atman]

33. Yes, but is they learning?

Sorry...couldn't resist.

[NCTraveler]

35. +1

I just lernt.

Thank you for the levity. I wouldn't have been able to resist that one.

11. Some serious ignorance at JPR about...

life in general...the universe...everything.

[geek tragedy]

13. the only things serious at that site are the stupidity and ignorance nt

[LongtimeAZDem]

14. It's always gratifying when people who disagree with you prove that they are clueless (nt)

15. JPR

Jealous
Privileged
Racists

16. You could have stopped your title after the first five words.

17. I wonder what the original Jackpine Radical would think...

He was a DUer who passed away; the site was named after him. It doesn't seem like his style, though; at least not any more. I signed up when it was first created, when Sanders supporters were getting a lot of crap on DU - it seemed like a safe place to go to avoid all that. But I really think they've lost the plot. I don't go there any more; I guess I'm another sellout.

[grossproffit]

23. Thanks for posting this. I'm sorry that some of us were crappy towards Sanders supporters.

I really am.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. Thank you.

JPR is an example of what can happen when an echo chamber is created. The site was the result of perceived harassment of Sanders-supporting DUers and it was viewed as an escape for those who were exasperated at all the sneering and condescension. But as annoying as the anti-Bernie behavior was, I don't like echo chambers. I didn't even especially like the Bernie and Hillary groups on DU, although I understood why they were set up. Unfortunately they eventually turned into little more then places where each candidate's supporters could rant without interference about how horrible the other candidate's supporters were. This, of course, ratcheted up the mutual animosity to eleven. That's what echo chambers do. That's what JPL has turned into, sadly.

[geek tragedy]

24. given that it slants pro-Trump, he'd probably be appalled

that, not to mention them endorsing the "lock her up" chants and calling Clinton a "b!tch" and a "c@nt"

It was never about supporting Sanders, as they're now disowning him.

There was a lot of ugliness on this site, flowing both directions.

We're putting that behind us though.

[mnhtnbb]

40. I wonder how many of us feel as though we are between a rock and a hard place.

I've been a DU member for more than 10 years.

I am a Bernie supporter. I never got involved in the primary wars here, but I have been seriously put off
by the condescending, contemptuous attitude for those of us who feel the Democratic party has veered
away from its concern for and determination to represent everyday people.

I went over to JPR. I no longer feel I belong there. I do not think that voting Jill Stein is the answer. I do not agree with disrupting the Democratic
convention to holler in favor of Bernie or against Hillary.

A couple of days ago I got my first hide--in more than 10 years here--because I expressed astonishment that Hillary would reward
DWS after her resignation over the DNC e-mail leaks with an honorary chairmanship for her campaign. It really came off as a slap
in the face to Bernie supporters. Was it really necessary?

So, here I am. I don't feel welcome here at DU and I don't feel at home at JPR any more, either.

I won't vote for Trump. He is dangerous. Really, really dangerous and can't be allowed anywhere near the White House.

Does Hillary even care about whether I vote for her? I don't know.

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. The lunatic fringe is screaming about vote stealing?

Why should today be any different than any other day.

Fucking morons.

[Starry Messenger]

19. Sad and ugly.

Nothing at all like the man who's screen name they appropriated.

[grossproffit]

20. Rocket scientists, they are not.

[Brickbat]

22. Pro tip: If you're going to get involved, learn the ropes so you don't look like an idiot.

It will save a lot of time.

[randome]

25. "Ignorance" and "JPR" in the same sentence is redundant. In fact, it's unnecessarily redundant.

28. I thought the rules were "no trashing".

Sigh!

[SCantiGOP]

37. "No trashing"

does not apply to their site, or FOX, or Breibart, etc etc

[Duval]

26. Sorry, but they DO understand the roll call is for States.

Stay tuned tonight when they finally get to it, unless they pull more dirty tricks.

[hack89]

31. We know what the results will be

it is not like there is any question who will win. I think the roll call vote is important and necessary - I can understand why Bernie's supporters want to see their vote for Bernie announced to the world.

[apcalc]

27. If that is the case, then today will be a learning experience for them!

[etherealtruth]

29. Isn't that the site where the overt rascists went when asked to leave here?

I had no interest in what they had to say when they were here .... and sure as hell don't care what they say in their own little bubble

[UMTerp01]

32. I saw this last night on twitter

Some woman was so pissed off last night and got all her busters riled up. Shit like that pisses me off. All loud and ALL WRONG!!! Sit the F down!!

[auntpurl]

34. There are like 10 people still posting at that site. nt

[asuhornets]

36. I also read on JPR, they were planning a walkout after roll call..nt

[DanTex]

38. Some serious ignorance at JPR about everything else, too.

[Gothmog]

39. Roll call votes are somewhat rare under the rules

The JPR posters are really wrong here. I was at the convention. The coice votes were not even cllose

[DemonGoddess]

41. Let them live in their hate bubble

as long as they leave US alone
