Delores Huerta's own statement says it was the MODERATOR that said no translation

A Bernie supporter came up to co-translate with her and the moderator said NO & then she blamed it on the "Bernie People"?

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2016/02/20/3751830/dolores-huerta-interview/

“The fellow that was running the caucus said that the first person to come up to the stage could translate, so I went up. Nobody else did,” she said. “Then the Bernie people started yelling no, no, no. One of their people came up, and I suggested we both translate. But the moderator decided we would have no translation. So the Bernie people preferred we would have no translation just because I was going to do the translating. It’s ridiculous, because if I had said something that wasn’t accurate, I’m sure somebody would have corrected me.”

as 'my' candidate had long ago been 'discharged.' I did read about bad stuff at DU, so kind of avoided it, and didn't have a favorite candidate. DID expect Senator Obama would get the nom after his speech at Dem convention. (Was and am a 'Clarkie.' Clearly I have a knack for picking the best and losing candidates.)

Last time her campaign's racial argument was based on how Obama can't win with White voters, so it felt right to challenge it. Now we are being attacked by one progressive hero after another; each time false in the specifics, but it feels wrong to be on the other side from these people. This is such a gross campaign, and the repeated false accusations could end up alienating people entirely.

They constantly mock Bernie supporters when we bring up injustices they think didn't happen, but now look at them. Many threads about something that never happened because hey, as long as it smears Bernie they're fine with it. I don't expect any of them will delete now that they know it's not true.

where the Hillary supporters didn't have to register?!

I'm sure you've seen that video. CNN was even reporting on it.

That really is a huge question but instead we are having to investigate this lie.

You know. Those deluded fools who dare to think that one person might attempt to secretly plan an illegal activity with at least one other person. Obviously that has never happened in the history of the known world.

tried to get another (SBS) person to co-translate with her. People kept shouting No and It's needed and the moderator caved to the rowdy people who were yelling. The moderator should have said screw it- we're letting them take turns translating.
What paranoid jerks would think they would pull something while translating? It's like one step forward, two CTs back.

be surprised to lose the Bernie supporters.

OTOH, they may think they can do without
them.

In that case: GOOD LUCK!
