That takes a lot of contorting to blame Clinton when Clinton is the one losing the votes.

Was it the same reason Nixon didn't complain about Illinois , he was involved in bullshit downstate Illinois? I'm betting that's why we hear nary a peep, don't want people actually looking into things. They just might see exactly what her allies are involved in.

cheated. They are the ones that have been challenging the suppression, addressing, bringing in lawyers and the DOJ. One yells, rants and whine. The other simply addresses the real issue.

As far as Sanders people fucking with primaries? Clinton people quietly address it thru the proper channels without denigrating Sanders or the Democratic process. You know, adult and professional manner.

fighting for living wage. Fighting for a La Salle Street tax to cover my state's budget crisis. Fighting against fracking in my area of Illinois. I know these kind of things are not what your candidate would support, that's why I'm not with her. My main reason though is related to healthcare and events that happened to my family for the past five years. I'd get into them but I basically will keep those private unless you really want to hear. But that is the main reason I'm not with her, she get's things done by selling us out. I do not condone the weakness and unwillingness to fight for democratic principles. That's why I'm not with her. Ever! Good luck.

We've all know this for a long time but it's clear now the Democratic party has been
infiltrated by the same cancer that's killing the Republican party. Their candidates this
election cycle were all beneath contempt. I'm glad Bernie is saying this because people
who get their news from the corporate media exclusively are now aware of what we're
up against.

Bernie Sanders is our only hope.

And besides, there's a lot of external activity around the you-know-what-issues that have nothing to do with politics.

All the way to the convention.
