False narrative turns to ash

[angrychair]

Going almost unnoticed is that the common narrative from HRC supporters on DU that we Bernie supporters here on DU are a bunch of tinfoil hat conspiracy nuts about the DNC having their finger on the scale...it is not just us. That false narrative turned to ash today:

1. Nice, thank you. And DWS did not call the police about the "illegal" activity, she called the M$M

2. If you say so!

3. It wasnt just me...

But hundreds of thousands of people That are not part of DU.
Unions that include over a million people said it
Intelligent and respected people said it (Robert Reich and Jim Webb)
People like you and me say it

It is not a guess of what they think, they have made it very clear what they think.

13. It is called giving context.

You sure do play the victim a lot.


I do appreciate your talent at avoiding the truth though. It must be much easier to play the victim than to actually face reality.

10. Oooo! Latin! Can you say "argumentum ad verecundiam?"

DWS/DNC went to the M$M, a fake authority that historically (and systematically) supports them, instead of the law.

Argumentum ad (whateverstan) in front of cameras is one thing; in front of a judge (plus cameras), it's something else.

5. Everyone knows that the DNC is on Hillary's side!!

Bernie got an outsider's chance - even though he probably didn't deserve the DNC support at all. He bit the hand that fed him, so he'll likely get what he deserves.

Notice Bernie has almost no endorsements from Democrats, is hopelessly behind on union support, is behind on the polls, and now has been caught cheating.

If the DNC was not tilting away from Bernie before, they would and should be now.

14. The hand he "bit" hasn't really been feeding him.

In fact, if the DNC were smart they would accept the honesty and energy Bernie's message affords them, and embrace his run as an improvement to a dangerously hidebound party.

7. Good for the APWU. I was a steward in that union and helped it get recognized.
