the notion that she is some kind of dictator is ridiculous. if she is why'd she lose to Obama? it's even more ridiculous that some Sanders supporters seem to think that Sanders is winning. He has 20% fewer votes, fewer delgates and no real chance of getting the nomination.

Sanders is trying to get a foot hold at the convention to control the party platform. The party platform is roundly ignored. It's symbolic. And if he really cared about it he wouldn't have waited 40 years to join the Democratic party. You don't get a seat at the table by registering as a Dem last year.

That vote count is as rigged as the Superdelegates are crooked cronies. Like the election hacker said, "I deal in the real world of politics", that's the part I observe. There's been enough old school voter suppression and new-age computer hacking to show Hillary is up a number of which makes her delegate lead seem plausible.


Bernie and Donald were the only two candidates consistently drawing over 15,000 people at rallies throughout the campaign. Hillary and Bill played to empty rooms save the scattering of sycophants. Nader is right, if not for the dictatorial moves by them on the voting apparatus itself, Sanders would win.

The Neo-Con's did everything they could to suppress Trump's vote count, but it wasn't enough. Looks like they threw in the towel by the time of the W.V. primary with him at 77%.

You're right that the Democratic machine wouldn't allow Sanders a seat at the table. He was chosen to be a fall guy. They didn't think they would have to pull out all the stops to get Hillary over on him, but they had to.
