A candidate who makes an acceptance speech while people are STILL IN LINE TO VOTE

is a candidate who has no respect for Democratic voters or for Democracy itself. The same goes for anyone making excuses for what happened yesterday. They have permanently tarnished the party with the stench of corruption and fraud. By choosing not to wait until all the votes were cast and the majority were counted, Hillary will from yesterday forward always be viewed with suspicion, and as illegitimate. She wasn't in the dark; everyone knew what was taking place in Arizona, and still, with just one percent of the vote counted she took to the podium, because she knew the fix was in. That's the only logical conclusion that can be made.

If she manages to steal other States (we've already heard that her people are laying the groundwork to pull the same stunts in NY, PA and CA) then no voter should ever have any hesitation at all about voting or not voting for whomever they please. If it's rigged, it's rigged, and our votes won't be counted regardless. Write in Bernie, go Green, it doesn't matter. The fix is in...unless we find a way to stop them and hold them accountable.

If she wants to win a particular state, she shall "win" no matter what.

to be pressured into voting for her under any circumstances. If she wants something she'll steal it outright. Our votes won't make a difference in the GE if she manages to steal the primary.

11. Then she sends her campaign counsel Marc Elias to the Sandersforpresident sub

on reddit to lay out her (no) plan about Az. It was basically to say, "Don't look at us."

Needless to say, while staying respectful, many of the Bernie supporters were not buying it. He also never replied to any of the posts. At the end he says "I'm not here to plug my boss." but has the nerve to link her site on on her voting policies in the main Bernie sub.

I still can't believe he showed up in that sub.
