Whining, that's what it is.

that is about petty grievances instead of issues at this point.

Sanders didn't), you wouldn't be thinking Clinton "complaining" about it was a "petty grievance." Approving of corruption when it benefits your own self interests is the same thing as approving of corruption across the board. Do the majority of Americans like the corrupt system of governance that we live under? Maybe. Have the majority of Americans come to fear democracy? Quite possibly. Democratic political systems have never lasted forever.

Especially since this situation arose due to the incompetence of the Sanders campaign, who fired their California field leader not long ago.

Anything to avoid equality, hmm?

Sanders people failed to properly organize for an unlimited attendance event. Boo hoo.

You have no problem with that?

Bernie campaign fucks up again (just look down a few posts for the rules regarding the venue) and BSers are so quick to assume it was some sort of conspiracy to hurt the Bernie campaign.

I wish you and your group would quit with the knee jerk reaction until you know the full story.

Licorice, like they promised, or shit?

May I ask why you are so vehemently opposed to parity? And why you declare every request for parity as, "whining"?

Fusck'em!

For parity as you claim.

gonna start tasting like shit soon if not sooner.

Looks like a few in MSM are beginning to wake up.

there you are, dissing Clinton and her supporters.

According to Estevan Montemayor, spokesperson for Los Angeles City Councilmember David Ryu, the Sanders campaign was not able to finalize logistics for the last minute event, including traffic mitigations and a way to get around the city-run Greek Theater’s policy that all events must be ticketed. The Sanders event is a free concert and rally, open to the public. Online reservations are encouraged only.

...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is running against Sanders for the Democratic nomination, will have an event at the Greek Monday, but according to Montemayor, that event is a fundraiser, was long planned and is 100% ticketed.

Of following directions due to their arrogance? I expected no less.

And they just didn't have enough field organizers to take care of the logistics.

others.

They have no qualms smearing others reputations without fact, to cover their ineptness and that is not integrity.

Just ask the US State Department's Inspector General

for her rally, so she's got that. Sanders just has his followers that can only wail and gnash their teeth. BTW Tuesday will be Glorious, just Glorious!

I don't recall giving an opinion on who or why as to the venue. I was responding to the comment that Sanders was incapable of following the rules by pointing out that HRC has trouble with them herself.

So tired of this.

following the rules. Pretty consistent pattern of Sanders and his campaign.

somehow I have my doubts

That would be a whine.

Just like he wanted the rules changed for California's election so they would benefit him. If rules don't help him he doesn't like them.

The disappointments he must experience in a lifetime. Hence his lifetime chip on the shoulder.

If you cannot tell the difference between an opinion and a threat, you need to decide why you are so defensive. Your misdirected anger and assumption regarding Bernie campaign totally fucking up the venue and the OP portraying another conspiracy is a joke.....on you

for Bernie's rally's

or so I've read , it's the manner in which it was gone about that brought up questioning

Rules are stipulated. We agree. When we no longer follow the rules, we renege. What a fuckin hoot. All in the contracts we make.

what a dreamy world Sanders lives in that this now become the others fault.

I'll take Bernies word for it

accuse with absolutely no facts.

Campaign of integrity my ass.

11. Sanders is bought and sold like most politicians, being a politician for 2 and half decades.

sorry if you took as such

It is a silly game I do not play.

Everyone pays for the space they use.

a 6,000 seat arena really isn't large enough - well for Bernie anyway

But oddly enough that's not the reason they gave.

Odd huh?

environs (rare landscaping and parking) are not overwhelmed. Sanders' campaign wanted to hold a free event.

You understand. The huge crowd would overwhelm the facility.

Clinton's event, days later, was already scheduled, and is to be a ticketed event with a crowd appropriate to the size of the facility.

Get it?

It is not the fault of the Clinton campaign that Sanders' organizers did not familiarize themselves with the rules and required crowd-size restraints of the venue.

God! Everything that goes wrong for Sanders' campaign is not Hillary's fault.

Oh, wait:

I could go on and on and on....

Details are so important. But some people don't think so.

..to manufacture misdirected outrage, but not enough for the full truth.

It's been the typical way of BSers to fuck up the process because they have no idea what they are doing and then apply pretzel logic to turn it into another "they're doing this to harm the Bernie campaign". And of course it's being bought hook line and sinker by those that so want they martyrdom to be real.

a one car parade.

Nothing new to report.

which matters for major event planning on terms of traffic etc.

Thinking like a victim does not mean one is a victim.

I guess traffic problems are too big a burden to solve to ensure a fair democracy. I see you are fine with that.

That is the truth!

It has to be difficult with all they are doing.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

the new location is easier access, has more parking and more room for audience.....even if the reasons are not good, I think the change is wise. The Greek, it's a whole set of issues.

It's a nice venue but yeah, when you're exhausted from a show that nonstop struggle to get back to the freeway stinks.

to skip it. That's why the venue is so insistent upon actual issued ticketing, the neighborhood around it is rich and keeps the traffic nightmare as limited as possible, can't get up the road without a ticket or a resident ID. So events that have general admission or which really want as many as possible are not suited to the Greek. Limiting the size of a political crowd seems silly to me. Hillary's event is a fundraiser, tickets sold. It's great for that, once you get past the parking morass or if you have a driver.

His fans really like the freebies....

So it's not full as yet even with Stevie and John and Christina and all.

...to gaze upon her majesty. Pass...

Ricky Martin is still a top selling Latin artist who just released a Grammy-winning album last year. Andra day had a top 10 hit just last year (she's a new artist who has only released on album), and why deride Stevie Wonder? The man had hits in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, AND the 00s, and is a musical ICON!

Not a SINGLE has-been in that line up.

It is the Greek, and to get me to the Greek takes a full Stevie set or something that major. This same fundraiser at another venue would have already sold more tickets. The Greek is a pain in the ass. It has cache but potential attendees know the drill and unless it is a very strong draw many people just don't go there.

and the #1 hits and Grammy awards would disagree with you.

It must suck living in your bubble.

Sort of tells you something about them really.

Must be a concert for the 1% and wannabes.

Of course, if I'd bought stock when it was first offered I'd be short selling now.

Because it keeps dropping in value every day.

are also Hillary talking points.

I'm sure it's purely coincidental, though.

Mammon.

gotta give them that

Way to do that unity thing.

and you talk about this unity? How about calling this whine out for falsely accusing others of a wrong.
