Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumDo I understand this disenfranchisement thing correctly? It originated with the Dem Party?
In some machination of intent explained as automated clean-up of their membership roles?
And if you made a donation to Clinton your inactive status was changed to active?

I'm trying to figure out what's known and what's not known.

(6,323 posts)I wasn't referring to you actually, just in general.

(1,573 posts)...I asked twice in that post for a link to something supporting the party rule change, because I'm a NY committee person and I never heard of it, and couldn't find anything online about it. (Doesn't mean that it didn't happen, I just want to know when it happened.) And I haven't gotten an answer yet. So I will view it with skepticism for now.

(20,886 posts)Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. Until there is actual evidence, I would regard it with extreme skepticism.

(6,323 posts)It's pretty strange that only her and her team would send out such a reminder w/o anyone else knowing.
Now I want to see where this goes!

(36,063 posts)it's possible that Sanders campaigners in NY never considered the possibility of people being dropped as inactive, while it's possible that people involved in making the rule changes for NY that made that possible were also part of Clinton's campaign. In that scenario, one side would know and one would not.
It might not be conspiratorial, but ... well, you know.

(6,323 posts)It's an old trick that's still used today. Part of obfuscation is not only about lying but also not speaking about certain truths.
Take today's "Network" media for example. They don't have to show any news they don't want to. Still completely impacts the opinion for the knowledge consumer that receives said "news".
That has been going on forever in public opinion and there's nothing conspiratorial about that. Pretty basic knowledge IMHO.
P.S. Also not saying this is Hillary work, but just a common technique.

(41,600 posts)ALL from Bernie's hometown/borough of BROOKLYN! Isn't that spectacularly miraculous?!! Of course people are expected to believe it's all just a coincidence!
And Mayor de Blasio feigning shock and surprise is just laughable. We know who he supports.
U.S. DEMOCRACY = A DAMN SHAM!

(41,600 posts)"I am shockedshockedto find that gambling is going on in here!"
That's exactly what purged voter rolls and de Blasio's reaction to it is like. NO ONE believes he didn't know about it.

(8,203 posts)He helped arrange a hearing about voting machines after 10,000 votes were "lost" in one borough. One voting machine manufacturer gave a presentation, and afterwards, my friend overheard the chair of the hearing--a friend of John Giotti's--tell his assistant that they'd never have those machines in NYC because they would be too hard to "fix."
I don't expect people to believe me. I'm just an anonymous internet poster, with no evidence to back this up. But my friend sent me the following as a facebook message early this morning with a link about the missing voters:
"I see good old NYC hasn't changed. It was 10k votes "lost" in 2000. Now it looks like 54k Ahhhhhh New York. Nothing changes. B Bernie needs to win by 6 points to win by 1%"
