Why does Bernie keep pissing on the south

[StayFrosty]

Do southern states not matter?

This man wants to steal the nomination and by peddling his bullshit that he can flip the super delegates, he's effectively telling southern voters that their votes don't matter at all.

[floriduck]

1. I think the South pissed on him before he could introduce himself. More early Clinton pandering.

[riversedge]

4. More excuses from a Sanders fan.

[floriduck]

6. If excuses = the truth, then yes. I agree.

[uponit7771]

36. Yeap, and a good portion of those people have "syndromes" too right? #SandersSoSad

[nc4bo]

2. Why in the hell did Hillary setup a fucking private server to conduct

SOS and possibly Clinton Foundation business on?

Who would be THAT shortsighted, ignorant, arrogant and deceptive?

[riversedge]

5. More distraction. Try to stay focused on the OP-or start your own thread.

[nc4bo]

9. Or what? This is a discussion board. Ask a silly question

And get asked a not so silly question in return.

[catnhatnh]

11. Well, perhaps the poster was distracted...

...by sniper fire.

[uponit7771]

37. EMAILGHAZI!!!

[frylock]

40. COMEYGHAZI!!!

[floriduck]

3. Joined May 3 and 159 posts. Where you waiting for instructions from Dave Brock?

[riversedge]

7. Yet another Sanders fan obsessed with Brock. Boring.

[floriduck]

10. You must be protecting the paid staffer. How noble.

[riversedge]

13. Yet anothers Sanders fan mantra.

[Electric Monk]

14. Obvious trolls are, indeed, obvious.

[frylock]

42. ..

8. Why do Hillary's supporters keep

attempting and failing to paint Sanders with false allegations, while at the same time they feel the need to point out that they've "won." If they've "won," why would they need to keep up the negative propaganda?

Okay, let's just get to the real question: why would I expect Clinton, her campaign, or her supporters to be logical, reasonable, or less than hateful?

[jillan]

12. Why does Hillary keep pissing on the Western United States?

She wants to declare the primary over without letting these states have a say:

California, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Mexico.

Why is she trying to silence the voters in these states?

[KingFlorez]

17. WHO CANCELED THOSE DAMN PRIMARIES?!!

You people keep screaming that somebody is trying to "silence" states that haven't voted yet, but none of their primaries have been canceled. Unless you can show some evidence that those primaries have been canceled, sit down.

And Clinton has never categorically dismissed any state like Sanders has. She doesn't go around whining about how states didn't vote for her like Sanders does.

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. Nope, but her words will depress turnout

Why is that?

[Eric J in MN]

22. She agreed to a debate in CA and isn't following through. NT

NT

[KingFlorez]

26. How is that canceling the primary?

It's a lie that Clinton is stopping people from voting and it's a lie that keeps getting repeated. Not agreeing to a debate isn't canceling the primary. People who haven't voted yet are still going to get to vote.

[aikoaiko]

15. He isn't. I live in the south.

[Aerows]

20. Me too.

The only thing pissing me off currently is electoral fraud, and that is a DNC problem, not a Bernie problem.

I think some day, the Democratic party is going to take a good look back and realize that they have pissed off too many voters and stacked the deck too thick.

My party has pissed all over everything. I hope it was worth it to them.

[LiberalFighter]

32. How is it a DNC problem?

The DNC does not create the laws for conducting elections. It would be nice if they had that power.

Even the Democratic Party of each state do not create the laws for their state. The laws are created by the state legislatures and they are not all the same in each state.

The only thing that is the same in each state except for a few exceptions is that the delegates are allocated proportionally based on the election results. Nothing mysterious about it. It is all defined in the Convention Rules that has been out there for quite a while. In fact, it has been pretty much the same since about 1984.

[Aerows]

33. Do you see

the evidence of election fraud that has occurred in the Democratic primary?

Because if you do not, you are blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.

I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.

[LiberalFighter]

34. You just say there is election fraud and accuse the DNC of it.

But you don't identify it. And again, the DNC does not control the election process.

[Aerows]

35. The fuck it doesn't.

It's right there in the mission statement.

I'd bother to link it for you, but I believe that you are absolutely capable of typing Google.

[LiberalFighter]

43. What you perceive to be the mission statement may not be called that.

So I don't know what you think you are looking at.

[uponit7771]

38. Nah, Weaver and Divine said they didn't compete in most of the south during calls so yeah.. he's..

... dismissing the south no doubt.

[floriduck]

16. Sorry rivers edge. I blocked you before I got your reply. Hope it was finally intelligent.

[Aerows]

18. I live in the Deep South

and Bernie Sanders has appealed to me as a candidate that we have long needed.

I guess your mileage may vary.

[uponit7771]

39. I do too and no he did not... Weaver and Divine said they didn't compete in most of the south on...

... calls to the media.

This is a known known

[Eric J in MN]

19. Hillary Clinton won MA, IL, and OH.

Pretending everything Sanders says is about the South is bogus.

[cali]

23. No links, just your claim.

[oldandhappy]

24. The South matters very much and all of us know the South will go Republican.

He is asking for fair representation based on the popular vote. He is not asking southern super delegates to shift. Our clinton on the other hand did in deed say California does not matter so here I sit once again -- I do not matter.

[edgineered]

27. One must take care when speaking of others -

all too often it reveals more about the biases, prejudices, and attitude of the one making the comment than it does of the person of whom they speak. Make of this what you will, it is a general statement.

[Fumesucker]

28. The only time the South matters on DU is when it votes the correct way

Otherwise the South is the land of trailer parks and tornadoes which go together like chainsaws and naked flesh.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. ^^^^^this^^^^

[uponit7771]

44. ... and PoC too, they like to act like we have syndromes and shit

[frylock]

45. They'll go back to hating the South just as soon as the GE rolls around.

[QC]

46. +1

[nc4bo]

47. +100! nt

[Bluenorthwest]

29. I am wondering why Hillary embraces the endorsements of NC Democrats who voted for the

anti trans hate bill. NC already has no bars to discrimination against LGBT in employment or housing. Not one State in the South has such protections for LGBT. Why do they keep pissing on us? And why do Hillary people keep insisting that the only States which mater are the anti gay States? Oregon does not count, Washington does not count, California they don't want to bother with, Hawaii has too many Asians to be diverse, Alaska is too cold to count. But any State that passes anti gay laws, oh boy they are the Voice of the People according to Camp Clinton.

[Vinca]

30. Why did the south piss on Bernie?

[uponit7771]

50. Cause Weaver and Divine claimed on calls they didn't compete in most of the Southern States? tia

This time there's no doubt its his fault k?

[Vinca]

51. I suspected it was because the southern church goers don't take kindly to Jewish people.

I remember one black pastor who was interviewed didn't try to contain his dislike of the Jews. But who knows? It's anybody's guess. Bernie certainly has proposals that would benefit people in the southern states where poverty is most prevalent.

[uponit7771]

52. Yeap, figured... not his fault even when they openly admit fault... That's not right

[Vinca]

53. Why should anyone "be at fault?"

I have never demanded Hillary explain why she's lost so many states. I assume it's her "fault," but what does it matter? Now . . . scurry along and post something about Bernie's taxes or the "riot" in Nevada.

[uponit7771]

54. cause Sanders runs his ship, totally ignoring most of the southern states was a really stupid

... idea for someone who claims now they're going to fight for every vote

[Vinca]

67. And the same can be said for Hillary and the states she lost.

I don't see the point in carping on these things. We should be focusing on Donald Trump and who will be able to beat him in November. Right now it's looking like Bernie. You must give up your Bernie hatred enough to see the big picture.

[uponit7771]

68. No one claimed she didn't compete in those states as Weaver and Divine did, so that's wrong

... factually

[Vinca]

70. So what, exactly, is the big f*ing deal?

Shouldn't you be more concerned about Donald Trump? Unless you failed math, it appears Hillary will be the nominee. I don't know why Hillary supporters continue to do as much as they can to stop Bernie people from wanting to vote for her. Without our votes, she does not win.

[uponit7771]

72. I'm concerned about resources being wasted and two people attacking Clinton consummately were

... as Sanders camp wants to be vindictive and support the attacking of Clinton

[Vinca]

73. IMO, Bernie continuing to stay in the race is doing Hillary a giant favor.

Once he's gone, all we'll hear 24/7 is stuff about emails, the Clinton Foundation, Benghazi and lurid details of Bill's affairs. Hillary isn't wasting any money on Bernie at this point. She's already in general election mode. Fortunately, for her, the primary is still big news on the Democratic side so she's getting a delay in what is going to be the dirtiest campaign in our history.

[On the Road]

41. Howard Dean

wanted voters who had gun racks and confederate flags stickers on their pickups to vote Democratic.

I don't believe that the current philosophy within the party We'll find out how this equation plays out in purple states like NC and VA and how it affects the impending Democratic majority.

[Autumn]

48. Hillary's pissing on California but their votes doesn't matter. The southern states have voted

and they are irrelevant to where we are now. Their only use is for Hillary supporters to pull out the racist Bernie card.

[jeff47]

49. So, Clinton's statement that California doesn't matter not going over well?

Time to work up a "both sides do it!!!" as damage control.

61. Yeah, right, we know what you're implying.

Anyone who disagrees with you must be a paid troll, right? Pathetic.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[IdaBriggs]

63. I agree that Brock trolls are pathetic.

Lots of them signing up.

[bluestateguy]

56. You can write of two or three Southern states in the general election

Writing off the whole south is a major red flag (pun, sort of intended).

Bernie, who proclaims himself the stronger GE candidate, has shown no indication that he will vigorously target any southern states at all.

[Logical]

57. Why do you keep making shit up? nt

[Attorney in Texas]

58. Why does the south keep pissing on voting rights, LGBT equality, reproductive liberties, collective

bargaining rights, etc.?

[bluestateguy]

59. Fair question

But those policies will never change if you don't engage those folks.

[RobertEarl]

60. Pissing on the south?

Well they need all the water they can get. It's what they use to wash away their sins, and sins they have. Still.

What's bullshit is your lame unfounded assertion that Bernie is stealing anything. Gawd, get a fucking grip.... Bernie is following the rules and that's all he's doing. Problem is they are making up new rules all the time in their failed lame ass attempt to get H nominated. Which is going to fail, and Bernie will be the victor! Get ready to vote for Bernie come Novemeber.

[hobbit709]

62. Why do you keep posting the same old bullshit?

[passiveporcupine]

64. WTF?

Do you serve cheese and crackers with that?

[lumberjack_jeff]

65. Why does Clinton piss on the western states? I know for a fact that they matter.

Mississippi? Not so much, they'll vote for Trump regardless of who we nominate.

[AgingAmerican]

66. Correct, southern states do not matter

They are a ball and chain on the country

[pinebox]

69. The south? Pissing like this you mean?

Trump.....Hillary.......yup yup. Issues matter folks. Why is one so called "Democrat" aligning herself with this?

[cliffordu]

71. Can you describe for me exactly how he's doing this?
