and by the way, that is the way things like the cvil rights happened, by people doing nothing.

Don't worry, in November we will have shenanigans, guaranteed, and then you will scream because those were Republcians you see. It is transparent at this point.

And as I explained bellow Common Cause also noticed the same exact pattern nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #20

But 1SBM asked what reports you personally have heard. n/t pnwmom Jun 2016 #106

It was a smart question in more ways than one. It's natural for people not to question Cal33 Jun 2016 #125

You're being sarcastic, right? Why should 1SBM know the poster won't answer? n/t pnwmom Jun 2016 #105

Yes, it was sarcastic. randome Jun 2016 #115

Or I can not do that work for you nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #50

Okay ... That's a strange position for a journalist to take ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #54

What not to want to engage with somebody who asked a question that I do not think is sincere nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #55

LOL ... Okay ... LOL 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #56

The STANDARD Answer Here Is To Ask FOR A LINK... ChiciB1 Jun 2016 #119

Or, people ask for links because so much that appears on the internet, and DU (of late) ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #120

EIP is also a Tea Party group like True the Vote WhollyHeretic Jun 2016 #51

And I am positive common cause is too? nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #57

That is quite an imagination you have. I didn't say a word about common cause. WhollyHeretic Jun 2016 #63

Yup I got quite the imagination nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #64

Okay ... This is just nuts ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #66

That was EASILY the most embarrassing dismantling I've ever seen here. Well done Number23 Jun 2016 #81

My head is spinning! My stomach feels all iggidy! Squinch Jun 2016 #92

But what did you see or hear or become aware of, in your professional capacity pnwmom Jun 2016 #107

Do you have a link to the "report"? Was it a Face-book screen shot? Or, Reddit? 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #116

It was here, on DU. pnwmom Jun 2016 #124

They don't care now, but will care when the Republicans do it. That's a right wing mentality. Right GoneFishin Jun 2016 #13

Not right wing, PARTISAN nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #19

I actually do see hypocrisy as a generally right wing trait. And I do consider people who call GoneFishin Jun 2016 #27

On this one it is just partisan nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #31

Ok. No problem. GoneFishin Jun 2016 #34

I'll take a gander... I am going to say NO, in the states that Sanders won, we did NOT see... Raster Jun 2016 #25

I wasn't "phishing" for an answer ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #30

You might not like my answer since it will be seen as partisan nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #32

Anything I post is seen as partisan nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #40

Curiouser ... I don't recall EVER discussing the 1943 L.A. riots with you ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #47

Curious that you do not know the history of how we actually got to 1994 nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #48

Okay ... This is really getting weird. 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #53

Looks like PepperHarlan Jun 2016 #114

Just as well ... I had reached my daily victim-creation quota ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #121

My apologies, these days on DU it's a bit difficult to determine the sincere questions... Raster Jun 2016 #35

Thanks ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #44

There could be many other responses. Raster Jun 2016 #46

I would too ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #52

Ultimately 1SBM, I think we (as a Party and as a Country) need to make sure... Raster Jun 2016 #69

Oh, Raster ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #72

I disagree. Questions were raised about the fairness and equality of the Democratic primary... Raster Jun 2016 #74

Sme of us have raised questions since 2000 nadinbrzezinski Jun 2016 #76

I heartily concur. Selection 2000 should have been our "wake up and smell the coffee" moment... Raster Jun 2016 #77

The thing is, nobody in power gave a shit. Fuddnik Jun 2016 #102

Interesting ... Did you retain any of what you uncovered ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #123

"those" people Dem2 Jun 2016 #122

Republicans had a closed primary and only one candidate still in the race. pnwmom Jun 2016 #108

Not every state was close and one candidate. HooptieWagon Jun 2016 #110

The OP and discussion here is about California. Have you closely studied pnwmom Jun 2016 #112

Seeing as NPP voters are not in fact requried to vote with provisional ballot, this seems to be BS. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #7

You apparently have low information about what happened. HooptieWagon Jun 2016 #14

That is true. The state didnt' read their mind to know they wanted a Dem ballot. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #16

Or the state ignored what they said. HooptieWagon Jun 2016 #17

No, you have incorrect information Retrograde Jun 2016 #26

Your information is just as 'low." Republicans had a closed primary open only to R's. n/t pnwmom Jun 2016 #109
