As a Bernie Sanders supporter, I must say this is fucking pathetic.
Reasons
1. The Clinton's rapport among older democratic voters is absolutely undeniable. Bernie has been an Independent for a long time. You can't be surprised that he suddenly wants to be a democrat, and that doesn't stick with some people. It would be like if one of us went onto some blues lawyer gear forum where they talk about their Dumbles and transparent ODs. Imagine the surprise that you aren't instantly welcomed as the coolest kid in town, ushered in on a donkey while all of the children wave palm fronds.
2. Blaming "the media" and creating false legal controversy around Hillary is tactic #1 for shitty Republicans. Don't bring yourself down to Sarah Palin's level. Frankly, I don't care if you believe it's true, it's going to just sound like bitching no matter what.
3. A petition to launch an investigation against someone is simply mob justice. You need evidence beyond "well the outcomes of these primaries fits my narrative."
So, I ask my fellow berners to keep your head up and act with grace. It's not our fault we're the only ones gifted with supreme intelligence and wisdom. We'll coax the confused masses to our side with kindness, not ire. Catch more flies with honey and all that.

real talk wiffleball is one of those things that looks stupidly easy and is actually impossible.

A full-grown man being born yesterday is indeed interesting.

I tried to go to the bernie rally in seattle yesterday
was successful in finding free parking because I used to work around there
stood in line for an hour and a half, or what I though was a line
when I got closer there was no structure to it, big fail on staff pro. big surprise right?
and only 2 metal detectors running I guess. I stood watching the entrance at the back for a while with no movement.
too many people brought things they shouldn't have... so I turned back but wish I would have stayed.
I guess he even came out and talked to the THOUSANDS that couldn't get in. HE PACKED THE HOUSE! http://usuncut.com/politics/bernie-sand ... crowd-yet/
yet silence in mass media land...
if you care about this movement, it's on us.
spread this and that it's still possible.
most bands that come through don't even sell it out anymore.

I agree. I've been curious as to what the actual rallies would be like vs what I'm told or shown snippets of.
I thought his input was pretty unique, but at the same time, who knows if Trump just paid him to say all that shit. hahahaha

I think he got fooled by the Trump campaign's recent taking a page from the Walter Sobchak School of Calmer Than You Are.
One would have to have had their head in the sand to not know why people are pissed and wanting to stop Trump and what he's set in motion -- I'll forgo rattling off the litany of mostly unchecked bullshit spouted by him and swallowed by his supporters.
Many of the officers in the Freddie Gray case are people of color, but it doesn't detract from how, being a cop in the US, there's a model ingrained, subtly or otherwise, of extra vigilance and punitive action toward the black people you police.

I don't know much about what is going on with how the voting stuff works or shit, but surely you'd have to be some kind of actual, genuine sociopath to vote for Hilary or Trump? I mean, what kind of fucking cunt doesn't know by now what these two people represent and who they speak on behalf of? Why do so many people hate themselves and their country? Because they're scared Bernie might make them pay slightly higher taxes? They hate themselves and other Americans that much? As I said, I don't know who is winning or whatever, but I have quite a large American family and my Facebook is going nuts. It's becoming difficult to not have an opinion. Either way, Scottish soldiers are going to die in American oil wars, so fuck it.
