this will end badly. And, I'll be so happy.

So this means some leaders like John Lewis are going to get harassed even more by these RF who took away Democracy from the African American and Latino Voters in Clark County.

The @NYDailyNews interview w/Sander is a revelatory moment. It shows that he doesn't know what he's talking about



HAAAHAAAAAA
This is what they came up with from a cow's nose, chihuahua ears, a white necktie & two arrows stabbed through its neck.

Must be from the gifted mind of spokesmodel Weaver

up to find a blood-drenched, severed Democratic mascot donkey's head in his bed? Wtf is wrong with these people? Recent history shows how the Tea Party's pyrrhic primary victories (e.g., Todd Akin and Christine O'Donnell) handed Senate seats to Democrats. Are Bernouts trying to return the favor?

...and it is illegal--but looking up how it would apply here shows that it would be difficult--many different victims and many different perpetrators. However, there is a source, and all of those being harassed are part of a single group. If this gets nasty I would not be surprised to find something coming out of it as far as a lawsuit, or something. I don't know law, but this smells and feels like it is a violation of rights.

This is not a good thing at all, and Sanders and his campaign have become insufferable bullies.

Let's not forget that a madman actually went out and shot Gabby Giffords and others who were near her.
I doubt that the bulk of "requests" to these superdelegates are like, "I respect and admire you--would you please consider..." More like, "If you value your job..."
Scary stuff. Many of these superdelegates can be physically found thanks to the internet

The site is hosted by Dreamhost, located in Brea, California. The site owner is listed as a private registrant. The link has been posted by Occupy Milwaukee in Facebook. I'm sure someone will be able to find out more information about this site eventually. It may have been created without Sanders' permission or blessing, and it certainly will do his campaign no good.

ETA: The name that appears at the very bottom of the page on the site is Spencer Thayer, who has a twitter account: https://twitter.com/spencerthayer

Tue Apr 5, 2016, 06:05 PM

as it gets.

We are electing the candidate for OUR party.

The voting process has two parts:
~The people, who are party members, or live in open states which allow Indys and Reps to vote in our process, get their individual choice in their caucus or primary
~Leaders who work in our party structure get their own individual choice as a reward for their serice to our party

Don't like it? Work from within and make a better system. But it is how we have chosen to make our decision for a while now.
