My apologies if someone's already posted this, but it seems the only thing crazier than Crazy Bernie are his crazy-ass supporters:

http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidenti...tion-shut/

Quote:Fans of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are planning to occupy the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania this July.

So far, nearly 2,000 individuals have indicated their interest on Facebook in disrupting the convention with the intended goal of having a “9.9 million person march” take place there in order to wage an “American Civil Revolution.”

Sanders has predicted that the July convention will be contested.

Avid Sanders supporter Bryan Carpenter created the event and provided a description on the Facebook page.

Here is my thought… American Civil Revolution?? Please share and spread this as much as you can… We need to organize the 9.9 million person march on Philly in July for the convention… If all of us can get Bernie close to nomination and then walk and occupy the convention, it would mean a shutdown of the city for 2 days and the most massive protest since the revolutionary war but with no violence… I will do it and I will bring friends.. We can change the course of human history and save the planet for our children… Add me, share me, message me… I am looking for organizers and those ready to be remembered as the ones at the catalyst of this revolution… #BernieSanders2016#FeelTheBern#Weareone#Revolution#BernDNC

Another “March for Bernie Against the DNC” event has also been planned. On its Facebook page, the event organizers write: “This broken two-party system and the elite class who run it do not represent us or our interests, and it is our natural right as American citizens to stand up to this elite political class and take back our democracy.”

Laurie Cestnick, who is also an Occupy the DNC Convention event organizer, told Breitbart News that “Clinton trolls have been sabotaging Bernie pages” and attempting to shut them down.

The presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has garnered more pledged delegates overall, but may need the party’s “superdelegates” to win, which has resulted in rage against the political establishment.

There are 83 delegates at stake in Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Indiana, which remains too close to call.

Now I realize this link is about a month old now, but I'm fairly certain his supporters are still planning on doing this. Isn't it rich how Crazy Bernie will blame Trump supporters for the riots at his rallies yet won't take responsibility for the actions of his own rabid fan base?

Don't worry, maybe 5 of those facebook 'interest indicators' will show up.
Maybe.

I always had this misconception that peaceful protesting was supposed to be about responsibly protesting.

These kids are just acting like the spoiled, emotionally weak individuals society thinks they are. I know not all of Bernie's fans are young but most are.

Bernie Sanders's campaign is like a large-scale effigy of the American nice guy:

- He sucks up, supplicates and hopes to get points by being nice
- When he realizes it isn't working he throws tantrums
- Obediently cowers, apologizes for making someone feel uncomfortable
- Affirms his place in the friendzone.

Bernie right now is hoping for sloppy seconds. He is there waiting the wings if Hillary happens to get indicted or locked up. He is lurking in the shadows ready to save the party if Hitlary goes down.

But I'm pretty sure the party would recruit to Joe Biden if anything happens to Hitlary and no doubt Joe would accept it.

Bernie's rants about the system being rigged and the need for democratic 'socialism' (at least what most millennials understand to be socialism, but which is more like statist-cronyism) give them an excuse to act out. To break laws. To "rebel". To indulge in what all their college professors have told them they should do, a feelings first, tribalist, smash-fest.

I just can't picture Crazy Bernie doing us any favors. Eventually, he'll bend to the will of the Democractic establishment and tell his supporters to vote for Crooked Hillary. Sure, it would be nice to do have the "Berners" board the Trump Train, but I doubt if many will.

For every informed voter concerned with trade deals, there are countless others without a clue, just jumping on a bandwagon. These morons will undoubtedly do whatever Sanders tells them to do, especially if it's voting against The Donald.

Bernie's voters only matter to Trump in a few states, such as Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Those Bernie voters are single-issue voters on trade, I checked all the exit polls in the democratic primaries. It's why Bernie took Michigan against Hillary despite Hillary having +10 in the polls.

Taking Michigan and Penn is going to fuck over the Dems bad this election.

Good post about how Hillary and the (just as) crooked Dem establishment have rigged California:

http://www.gregpalast.com/california-sto...eg-palast/

Quote:"[Los Angeles] It’s not some grand conspiracy, but it’s grand theft nonetheless. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ voters will lose their ballots, their rights, by the tens of thousands.

The steal is baked into the way California handles No Party Preference –”NPP” voters –what we know as “independents.”

There are a mind-blowing 4.2 million voters in California registered NPP – and they share a love for sunshine and Bernie Sanders. According to the reliable Golden State poll, among NPP voters, Sen. Sanders whoops Sec. Hillary Clinton by a stunning 40 percentage points.

On the other team, registered Democrats prefer Clinton by a YUGE 30 points. NPP’s can vote in the Democratic primary, so, the California primary comes down to a fight between D’s and NPP’s.

And there’s the rub. In some counties like Los Angeles, it’s not easy for an NPP to claim their right vote in the Democratic primary – and in other counties, nearly impossible.

Example: In Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, if you don’t say the magic words, “I want a Democratic crossover ballot,” you are automatically given a ballot without the presidential race. And ready for this, if an NPP voter asks the poll worker, “How do I get to vote in the Democratic party primary, they are instructed to say that, “NPP voters can’t get Democratic ballots.” They are ordered not to breathe a word that the voter can get a “crossover” ballot that includes the presidential race.

I’m not kidding. This is from the official Election Officer Training Manual page 49:

“A No Party Preference voter will need to request a crossover ballot from the Roster Index Officer. (Do not offer them a crossover ballot if they do not ask).”

They’re not kidding. Poll worker Jeff Lewis filed a description of the training in an official declaration to a federal court:

Someone raised their hand and asked a follow-up question: ‘So, what if someone gets a nonpartisan ballot, notices it doesn’t have the presidential candidates on it, and asks you where they are?’ The answer poll workers are instructed to give: ‘Sorry, NPP ballots don’t have presidential candidates on them.’ That’s correct: even when people ask questions of that nature, obviously intending to vote with a party.

This affidavit, and several even more horrifying, come from Election Justice USA, a non-partisan watchdog, hoping to get injunctions to stop this nonsense. [Hear my talk with the group’s spokesman, Paul Thomas, on a special edition of the The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: Elections Crime Bulletin, which I host with Dennis Bernstein on the Pacifica Radio Network.]

Let me throw in another complication. Nearly half of Californians vote by mail, ballots sent to your home automatically. Most NPP voters don’t realize that, to vote in the Democratic primary today, they must bring in their NPP ballot with the envelope, and say these magic words: “I want to surrender my ballot in return for a Democratic ‘crossover’ ballot.”

Got that memorized? Because if you don’t, if you say the wrong syllables, in some counties, you will be denied a Democratic presidential ballot.

Bruce C. Carter is losing his mind over this. I interviewed Carter who arrived in his Black Men for Bernie bus, decorated with a giant image of Bernie’s arrest while demonstrating for civil rights. Carter warns that, If an NPP voter doesn’t say they are “surrendering” their NPP ballot, the clerk can take it and count it, blank, instead of giving the voter a new one.

It gets far worse. There are simply not enough “crossover” ballots printed. If they run out of ballots, Carter his telling voters to demand a recorded vocal vote using the voice recorders set up for the disabled.

Unfortunately, the games hardly end there. Election Justice filed still more declarations with the courts of poll workers being told to give NPP voters “provisional” ballots even if they say the magic words, “I want a crossover Democratic ballot.” As I’ve previously reported, provisional ballots are “placebo” ballots that let you feel like you’ve voted, but you haven’t. Provisional ballots are generally discarded."

Doing better economically than the USA right now, as our leaders sell us out, is not something to write home about.

As for "free", the reason your family was poor is because all the opportunities to do more with their life and improve themselves and grow was spent to pay for these "free" things. Nothing in life is free.

I'd like to drop a thank you - half a year later I guess your post kinda started chain-reaction for me.
Since then I actually read a few books on economics, developed a little man-crush on Milton Friedman and now I very much take back my early statement.

I was a big fan of Bernie at the start of this yr, thanks to his policies on free college,etc. But i lost a lot of respect for him after he didnt attack Hillary on her previous scandals. If I a US citizen, I'd rather vote for Trump than that corrupt piece of shit Hillary.

With our (lack of) voter ID laws, you don't have to be a US citizen to vote here.

Awesome to hear! Milton Friedman is a great person to learn from. I think from now on I will recommend people to watch a few of his Youtube videos.

Bernie supporters apparently upset the convention costs money. NYP Article

Quote:Some of Bernie Sanders’ 1,831 New York delegates can’t scrape up enough cash to attend this month’s Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia — so they’ve turned to crowdfunding websites to raise the cash.

“The cost definitely was a surprise,” said Jessica Frisco, 23, a delegate from the Upper West Side. “People are freaking out.”

Unlike the savvy operators who usually win slots as convention delegates, some from Sanders’ campaign say they had no idea they would have to spend up to $5,000 on travel expenses.

At least 20 Sanders delegates from New York have set up online crowdfunding campaigns to plead for cash.

Reddit is good for some laughs

Quote:11am is "super early" for you?
permalinkembedparent

[–]saraquael [score hidden] 2 hours ago
FWIW our delegates have to be at the hotel to pick up our credentials between 7:30am and 9am. So not terribly early, but when the convention itself goes until at least 11pm, not counting getting back to the hotel, etc., it's kind of a different story than lazy, entitled Bernie Bros who can't roll out of bed in their mom's basement before noon.

Quote:Why didn't the Sanders campaign communicate any of these to his delegates? All he needed to do was ask them, "will you be able to pay up to $5k to attend?" Or, he could just pay for them out of his campaign money. Guess he doesn't have any left after blowing it all on a losing campaign in California.

Quote:This cycle has taught me so much about my own bias. The Dems used to be the party of the labor movement, but it's become clear that they're now firmly on the side of business. They make a big show of holding their rallies and public appearances at union halls and count on the union votes for election, but it's a front. People are finally starting to wake up and realize this. I live in the rust belt. To say that the Clintons are polarizing around here is an understatement. Lots of the urban liberals are of course with her, but the lifelong blue-collar unionists and the rural Dems would rather vote Trump than see another Clinton presidency, because they still remember the last one.

Looks like Sanders is financially set for the rest of his life, who knows maybe even his kids too.

The fear-mongering is disgusting. I hear about Trump more often from the Democrats than I do the Republicans. This is not the way to pick a President.
Can someone count the number of times "Donald Trump" is said in this entire thing compared to "Bernie Sanders" and "Hillary Clinton"?
EDIT: 7 Donald Trumps in one minute. I stopped watching. Someone let me know how it ends.

Cannot physically watch... body convulsing...

you could hear someone yelling "fuck no" as he said his group was gonna support clinton.

I can't believe this crap. He's supporting a fucking criminal. I can't believe I even donated to this guy. What a fucking sham.

Screw this. I'm out.

Lost a ton of respect for Bernie today. I thought he was a true independent thinker who wanted to transform politics. Then, after he unfairly loses the Democratic Nomination which was rigged against him , he turns around and endorses a top 1%-er, who is corrupt as they come. Charlatan is a word that comes to mind. #JillnotHill

What a lying piece of shit.
This whole time he lied to our faces.
At least with Clinton you knew that she was a fuck. Now we find out that Bernie was even worse- he was pretending to give a shit and now he's selling us all out.
What a complete fuck.
I'm done with this politics shit. Fuck this, let whatever happen in November happen. Who the fuck can ever trust anyone again after the 1 person who promised to actually give a shit about us just stabbed us int he back.

The absolute worst part about this is the money donated to defeat Hillary will now line her pockets.

Can't blame him, I wouldnt want to be found dead "of natural causes" either.

All our work to build a movement just went out the window. Bernie, you didn't have to do it this way. I regret moving so much of my personal life to the side, so much of my $$$ to him. I could have used it for my kids. I am so sorry I did this.

For all of you democrats that are saying "Finally!" and asking supporters why we're so upset, I look forward to the day you realize that today was the day the progressive/democrat-coalition was broken and that today was the day we elected Donald Trump.

An unsurprising but nonetheless disappointing development. Nothing would make me vote for Clinton

Holy shit, endless hilarity!



I'll tell you right now, the Republican party isn't nearly as divided as the Democrat party.
