omg what a pathetic little man.

What are you watching?

They don't even need a primary!

They just don't get to pick OUR nominee.

What a "leader" eh? SMH

He didn't complain about people not being able to vote in the races he won.

He only wins lily white most small caucus states. He loses because he can't draw votes in diverse states that have large minority populations. It's as simple as that.

It's not the political process. It is the party process. I walk around Greenpoint and Williamsburg. It isn't my Irish immigrant ancestors there anymore, so solidly identified with a party. It's hipsters with beard combs drinking craft cocktails who are sooooo.....proud not to belong to a party.

if more people didn't want Hillary!

Dems for Hillary Big Surprise.. and if his supporters knew the rules they could have changed their registration to Dem and voted too. Why didn't he inform them? Why did he keep them "low information voters"?


Putain Démocratique ??@goddamnedfrank
If you can’t even research your State’s primary rules and register on time maybe you shouldn’t call other people “low information voters.”

Hillary spooky

the Primary and I had never voted in a Presidential Primary before in Hawaii.

Hillary spooky!

Running, running against the most qualified candidate is squashing the hostile takeover. We still vote.

online?

We Won, Thinking, by double digits! Hillary

I think that once word came out telling how lying about being registered was a crime, they backed off.

feel dumb today.

"In a speech to supporters, in which she declared that "victory is in sight" in the race for the nomination, Clinton reached out to those who had backed Sanders, saying, "I believe there is much more that unites us than divides us."

Hillary

Glad you were able to join the celebration.

Of independents to vote in NY falls totally on the voters. The campaign would have gotten more votes if they educated the supporters and knew the rules. Now they want to blame everyone else but the one responsible for their decision.

Independents who will vote in the general.

538 published a careful analysis showing why not.

We are campaigning more so it gives us a common meeting place, our rally.

means that you go out and register people so that they are invested in the Democratic Party. If your support is built up entirely on independents who want to dip in and then leave, you do not deserve to be the democratic nominee.

crashes and thrashes around on deck. Dangerously out of control.

He doesn't give a rat's rectum how much he damages the Party and its nominee, in pursuit of his exercise in egomania.

And now he and his people will try to inflict maximum damage on the party and hurt Hillary's chances in the GE

anyway, his campaign is incompetent. If he told them to register in October then maybe it would have been a different outcome. If he wants to run for the nomination of a party you need to have a ground game and try to get actual democratic support. If he wants to claim independent votes only and wants to brag about being a independent then why not run for another nomination and don't waste our time.

Welcome to DU!

Bernie ran as an independent his whole life, could have run as an independent for president but chose to run as a democrat. Now he is complaining about their delegate rules, which he never bothered to learn before he ran. He and his campaign supporters make clear they have no loyalty to the democratic party. It is just a means to the end for him and them.

I happen to believe we need a strong third party. I supported the green party in 2000 and 2004 because Nader preached "get the money out of politics" and actually lived it. (And I live in Illinois which always goes democratic). BS is all about ego, not about democracy.

when he lost NY.

If a voter is too blase or too cool to register for a political party, an effort that does not cost them any money or time, or blood, sweat or tears, I have little patience for them.

And this is not a new procedure: it goes back decades. So these folks have not been interested in voting in the Democratic party's primary in the past? Cry me a river.

And while the Sanders team complains about these no-party voters, how about the several million registered Democrats who didn't actually vote? Maybe if he tried to appeal to folks other than college students, he might have made more headway with that pool of potential voters.

Every year, NYS moves voters from an active status to inactive, based upon a lack of voting following state election law guidelines. After further inactivity, once again based upon guidelines, the registrations are purged. Several hundred thousand voters every year are removed from the voting rolls, not surprising given the state's population.

But there are now people complaining that 'Sanders voters' were the ones purged to deny him victory. That would mean that months ago, long before the first primary, the NYS BOE had the ability to predict who was going to vote for him. Who knew that the Psychics Network was now on the state payroll!

is to use it as an incentive to stay active as a voter...or else.

Do these people not realize that they are admitting to not giving a crap about doing their civic duty and voting regularly to keep their voter registration active? Is the rest of the world supposed to snap to attention when they finally deign to do their civic duty?
