BSers Sensing It's Over Double Down on Voter Fraud Meme

Well, desperation is setting in in BS land.

The "everyone is against Bernie, the only pure politician" meme that started out with accusations that the media was ignoring him/the D Party was against him/anyone who doesn't support Bernie is a rich corporate hack/deep-South-your-vote-doesn't-count minority/"I eat underprivileged babies for breakfast" ghouls,

has now morphed into

voter disenfranchishment in AZ has been proven/it only hurt Bernie/AZ needs a revote,

reaching it's logical conclusion in the meme's latest iteration: any remaining primary where the polls favor Hillary can only be so because everyone in the world who doesn't support Bernie is involved in a conspiracy of pre-voting voter fraud on a massive scale that is targeted exclusively at denying Bernie Sanders the presidency!!!

From NY to CA - and any state in between where Hillary is leading in the polls - voter registrations are being falsified and destroyed to keep Bernie from pulling off another Michigan miracle. So goes the BSer version of truth.

This meme isn't being advanced in hopes of Bernie winning. It's being advanced to provide a convenient excuse to BSers to not vote for Hillary in the GE, and to not support her after she wins the WH.

It's getting embarrassing over there in Bernieville.

the Democratic nominee, then it needs to be dealt with now!

Sometimes I feel like I am dealing with children, who are mad they didnt get what they wanted and are therefore going to throw a tantrum.

Were the stakes not so huge, so life altering, I would just stop engaging them, but that is not an option.

I think everyone not drinking Bernie's kool-aid sees the scam they are trying to pull in every state that Bernie loses or is polling behind.

Its f***in pathetic and sickening to see so-called democrats pulling dirty tricks and lies like this.

6. These are voters who couldn't be bothered to vote for years,

who couldn't be bothered to learn what was needed for them to legally vote in their state's primary, who can't be bothered to support an actual political party:

and they're pissed off that their 8.5 minutes of political activism in this race hasn't resulted in the course of history being changed.

I'll be glad when they head back to Cantbebotheredville.

They want to make this faux crisis sound like it is affecting Hillary as much as it is BS.

There are a lot of parallels in how the BS campaign operates and some past Republican campaigns.
