... anything goes, because revolution.

This is less of a political movement, than a free-for-all. What the Sanders folks are really hoping for and petitioning for is a disruption of the NY election process; an election day lawsuit filed to allow even republicans to vote in the Democratic primary.

It's a clear picture emerging of what we've known all along about progressive movements. They share the desire of their politically polar opposites to disrupt the party processes rather than work within the party to effect changes. It's not as if the Sanders campaign just decided to run last week. They've had every opportunity to organize and register voters as their Democratic rival.

Now they're showing signs that they've been outplayed (and they DO play cutthroat politics like pros), and they're beginning to shed their folksy, birdy facade to lash out with politics as usual.

I blame his operatives, but I also blame Sanders for failing to manage his organization in a way which was cohesive, responsible, and accountable. That would be the burden of anyone proclaiming themselves a leader of a political revolution. Today, it more resembles a dissembling, flighty rabble than a credible, inclusive movement.

And this goes to the point that Clinton made in the debate, it's easier to loudly diagnose than to roll up one's sleeves and make change happen.

Bernie's career has been one of non-stop complaint, with no real big accomplishments to his name. Nothing like SCHIP, nothing like the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, nothing like sanctions forcing Iran to negotiate over its nuclear program. NOTHING!

And the people behind him are just as bad, because their record of achievement is nearly as small as Bernie's.

...except that I would change 'progressive movement' into 'populist movement'.

and angry fringe types do not make a happy combination.

If the answer to those is "No" then you're making stuff up.

Why didn't he lodge a formal complaint with the FEC rather than send a letter to the DNC and issue a press release?
He didn't take the legal route available to pursue such complaints. That tells me this is a political stunt.

They'll tread into Alex Jones territory to explain why they're losing. I can't imagine how his campaign ends without a total conspiratorial meltdown.

Strange to see a professional, who is high up in a Presidential campaign--acting like a middle-schooler.

Brian Fallon, ladies and gentlemen...rocking the sub Tweet!

...little more left outside of projection and bitterness.

I'm glad that smiley can laugh.

I'm very proud of the Sander's campaign.

Brian Fallon, on the other hand--is an embarrassment. He needs to grow up.

Too bad we don't decide the Presidency based on Facebook polls. Then you guys might have stood a chance.

evasion of campaign finance laws. IMO, it appears to be legal, but it will have to be decided in the courts before it is settled law.

5 Most Disappointing Things We Learned About HRC's 'White Men's Club'

A new internal diversity report reveals the Human Rights Campaign has a sexist work environment where only 'gay, white, male' employees advance into leadership positions.

“As a woman, I feel excluded every day,” says an employee of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBT civil rights advocacy group and political lobbying organization, in an internal diversity report released Wednesday.

The report was compiled by The Pipeline Project, and commissioned by HRC through focus groups and surveys with employees of the company. The report revealed that the organizational structure of HRC perpetuates sexism, while leaders have failed to establish a “real push for diversity,” which has created a “homogenous” leadership culture that is “gay, white, male.”

BuzzFeed News legal editor Chris Geidner first broke the story, revealing "major diversity problems" within the organization. Geidner noted that the report included complaints from many staffers that the work environment at HRC is “extremely judgmental,” especially of women and female-identified people. The workers surveyed called their employer a “White Men’s Club” that only promotes the “good old boys.”

White Men's Club. Not something I'm interesting in touting as excellent nor as representative of the LGBT community, but thanks for playing!
