Current Events > Don't vote Democrat, they're a bunch of crooks. They did Bernie dirty

(+) Yeah! (+)

How the fuck can you trust a party that does shit like this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virginia_Democratic_primary,_2016

Hillary lost every fucking county in West Virginia. Lost the popular vote in a goddamn landslide! Sanders was the clear cut winner of Democratic voters there in 2016.

And somehow she won the delegate count 19-18? If that's not proof that they're all crooks that run that party, I don't know what else to tell you.

Just flat out pissed off a whole lot of family that still lives there and they went from solid Dems to lean Reps or just not caring anymore. Good job, crooks. Enjoy that blue wave that picks up a handful seats or so tomorrow and wonder why you fell short again.

And I'm not telling you to vote GOP either. Libertarians and Greens still exist, and the Libertarians sure as shit have my vote now.

Yeah and the republicans are even worse. Really I feel the system needs to be rebooted but until that happens I will go with the lesser of two evils, the democrats.

You literally linked to an article that showed that 8 of the "votes" were superdelegates

Classic Dems, laugh when other people have the gall to suggest that voting for someone else is a good idea. Cry some more when you lose another election and wonder why you didn't have a unified base.

Exactly, that bullshit crookery meant that the WV delegation voted 19-18 at the convention. Utter nonsense.

The Democrat party fucked over Bernie, the Republican party fucked over America. One was greasy, the other one is downright fucking despicable.

"B-b-but Republicans" isn't an argument when I wasn't telling you to vote Republican.

Yeah, I haven't posted in a few months, so? You're proving that I'm not some random new trolljob account by pointing out my sign up date and karma amount.

Another stolen account to ignore.

It's because it's freaking West Virginia.

Nothing like a topic defending the most liberal major candidate in recent memory to seemingly decry liberals?

Are you Dems even trying anymore?

You're telling people not to vote for Democrats by citing news that the vast majority of those running had nothing to do as a way to "stick it" to the national party for shady tactics that had been done away with already, and you're wondering why people are mocking you? Come on man, get better

She won the state in 2008, genius.

And wonder more why Dems aren't competitive in big swaths of the country anymore with comments like that.

I'm highlighting a point of crookery to point out how crooked the party is, yes. Those crooked jackasses are the same ones that'd be in power if the Dems win either house tomorrow.

Haha, TC has a bad gimmick.

DNC is one part of the party, the actual party leadership in the House and Senate that had and still have an overwhelming influence remain.

I just dunno why you're shilling this literally the night before the election lol

You're not changing anyone's minds a few hours before they vote.

Because most people are voting on Election Day and interest in the topic is at an all time high immediately before Election Day.

it is totally within their right to do what they did as they are a private practice

imagine willingly fucking up the country because your cheeto dusted neckbeard is upset that they chose hillary over bernie

Because they're essentially all that remains as a party of personal responsibility with both other major parties rotten to the core over bullshit nonsense that just play to the lowest common denominator. Meanwhile, Libertarians actually care about the constitution, actually care about personal representation and self-improvement, and over letting people how best to live their lives and not have extreme government oversight forcing you on a straight and narrow path over what is or isn't acceptable.

Yeah, also in the exit polls more Sanders voters said they'd vote Trump in a Trump vs Sanders matchup than Sanders so...

Stop being such an apologist. If the Democratic Party decided fuck it, you can only pick between these handful of pre-selected candidates chosen an approved by the party higher ups, you'd support that because they're a private organization?

Oh wait, I see.... good point. Sure, join the libertarian side, brother. We're all about private organizations doing what they see as best, which is odd as I thought Dems were opposed to that sometimes?

Although not remotely the same, as political parties are practically quasi-governmental as they're the barrier between peoples' voices and who gets elected, so you damn well better have an opinion if you think a party is corrupt as shit.

When they have nothing meaningful to say, they insult or deflect. Nothing new.

People keep bringing in all these times Sanders won in a few states like that proves anything, even though he was never even close to winning overall.

The real reason that Hillary won is very simple. It's because most people don't vote in the primaries. The people who do are mostly old people. And they facor conservative, "safe" candidates that won't rock the boat. The young people who love Bernie don't vote, and while they may have come out in much bigger numbers than ever before, it still wasn't enough to overcome the stodgy old establishment types that have always dominated the primaries.

Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that more than half the people who complain about the primaries being "rigged" against Bernie didn't even vote for him.

So if it wasn't close, and Bernie wasn't going to win, then why rig it in situations that don't matter like West Virginia with that superdelegate nonsense? Yay.... you just pissed over would be Dem voters with blatant corruption, way to go.

To me, it more shows that if they're going to pull crap like that in an election that supposedly doesn't matter, where else are they going to do it, too? And when it does matter, how much further are they willing to go?

And sure, I'm already expecting another "b-b-b-but Republicans do this" talking point in response as if that had anything to do with what I said or promoted.

Being in favor of personal responsibility and not being in favor of blatant corruption are mutually exclusive?

Here, Democrats suck. What Kemp is doing in Georgia to disenfranchise Democrats is deplorable. Democrats are more interested in winning the black vote then in actually helping black people. The GOP is full of dog-whistling racists.

Oh my god, I can have opinions that don't 100% match up with major party talking points?!?!

You are weirdly upset about primaries being rigged two years ago then you are about current voter suppression efforts being done by the party currently in power.

She also won because she played ball with her party, which is how politics are run. Ive never had a problem with this.

Well, for one, the talking point in the news is about a blue wave, so why not mention how bad the Dems are in that context.

And for option two, for the umpteenth time....

And I'm not telling you to vote GOP either.

Don't pretend this isn't anything more than trying to get the democrats to lose, because you would much rather have republicans in charge.
