Bernie's Campaign and "WE" his Supporters are Exposing the Rot!

The Caucus System Sucks. Those who participated know this and will let the Dem Party know about it!

What has been exposed in both Iowa and Nevada about our flawed voting system in many states will be out there for Party Reformers to Parse through and make sure this doesn't happen again. DWS....You Have Been on Notice...and you need to Resign...along with the other Party Ops taking the Money and ruining our Elections System to the Advantage of Those YOU DEEM to be the CHOSEN ONES of those who have Funded you For Years!

Bernie Has the Message for the PEOPLE and he is Exposing the Rot of our Party who has Sold Out their Left Activists who bring Truth to Power and Will Not Stop!

We Work Harder and we have the Experience of being in the Trenches since "Stolen Election 2000!" We have the Info of how Our Party Organizers and Ops have betrayed us and we Have the Will to Keep Fighting.

Let's Congratulate Ourselves that we've Come this Far and We Have the POWER!

Even the Mainstream Media is picking up that our Election System is Egregiously Flawed and they are grudgingly reporting.....which will make a difference because they know they will lose more and more of their audience IF THEY DON'T.

TRUTH WILL WIN! We WILL PREVAIL!

Bernie's very existence threatens Obama's legacy, by demonstrating what real hope and change means.

She is in Charge of Hillary Winning...and there's still too much at stake for her to cut out now...no matter how many petitions we sign.

But, we need to keep signing those petitions and keep the pressure on so that there is a Record of our Disgust with Her!

2. WE are on the right side of history, Bernie supporters.

The authoritarians and corporatists and third-way are on the wrong side of the bending arc of justice.

No one owns Bernie but the people.

Bernie doesn't have to make things up, he doesn't have to lie, he doesn't have to kowtow to wealthy profiteers, or private prisons, or any of the other nefarious constituencies that influence Hillary.

He is who he is, an honest and TRUSTED man.

We are who we are, and we are on the right side of history.

4. The only thing I like about caucuses is that they aren't subject to e-voting fraud

it's all done by real humans, with many eyes on the situation from all sides.

That said, caucuses still suck, compared to fraud-free voting with paper ballots.

7. ...! Privacy is the factor with Caucuses. In Nevada if a Union Person voted...in Las vegas

their Casino bosses would know. And, if the Union supported Hillary and they caught a Caucus participant with a Bernie sign and voting for Bernie when their union supported Hillary then they probably wouldn't have a job the next day.

I live in a RW Repub Neighborhood in the Southeast. And we have our own business. If I had to Caucus for Bernie and they knew who I supported as a Democrat where I had to line up on one side of the room for my candidate while they lined up for their RW Repub Candidate on the other...we could lose business.

Our Ballots should be Secret. Not some kind of Free for All like what went on in Nevada. Iowa seems to be a pretty close knit community but most of us don't live in Iowa and we have business connections we need to depend on and community activities we are involved in that we don't want our voting preference to come into the picture to give opportunities for Rabid RW'ers to go after us.

Plus, my area of my state is heavily Evangelical Christian and we are mainstream Protestant and not heavy church goers. That Politics is now entwined with Religion in our society is a dangerous thing for those of us who have businesses that could be targeted or professions where we could be boycotted if people knew we voted Democrat. I think those Caucus States are heavily to cull out those who value Privacy of their Vote.

I don't think our Dem Party should be supporting these Caucuses. And, we still need to work to get the faulty voting machines out of our States with heavier supervision of our elections but the caucuses seem even worse to me for those that they leave out who don't know the system, don't have the time to devote to the procedures that are required to involve in the system and who don't want their private votes revealed!

Now I'm expecting she'll be boasting about how 'popular' she is with Latinos and union rank & file.
