Reading some of the NV convention threads....

Some people have completely lost all sense of reality.

I'm not saying that that wasn't already happening, but pretzel logic has taken on a whole new meaning.

And this is only the beginning. Just wait until June 8th.

They wanted to hear him and Robert Reich has made a statement we have to work to get Hillary elected. This is somewhat different than the past weeks. I also heard he is going to tone back the attacks on Hillary and this would be good also. If he stays until the last primary to "give" everyone a chance to vote for him then so be it. Michael Moore told Bill Maher "together" They are going to beat Trump. We need the unity not only to beat Trump but to send a strong message with it.

He did create it and is responsible. He cultivated this undemocratic "revolution" which translates to the "it's my way or else" mentality that has excited lots of reckless newbies to the process of democracy. It isn't "passion" at all, but a mob itching for a brawl.
Bernie has been telling lies and allowing right-wing propaganda into his campaign in order to win, and has been pushing buttons of fear and hate. The few times he has been pressured to denounce something his campaign is responsible for, it has been so mealy mouthed that his supporters paid no attention.

Yeah, there is that possibility.

I think as denial is taking a firmer hold and reality is nevertheless slowly chipping its way in, it's getting worse. The "Hillary's women can't think for themselves and need men" thread is a classic, and not in a good way.

They could have gone the reality way but they made a conscience decision not to.. what does that say about what they think of their fans?

That's really the only explanation for leaving that one. Any liberal who agrees with the blatant misogyny in that post isn't a liberal.

Seems like the former would be bad at the latter and vice versa.
