Turn on some nice music, and have a cup of mint tea with a little honey. You'll feel better.

Good for Hillary, this will mark a major election for me, this will be the first election in over 20 years where I didn't vote for a Democrat for president.

Bernie is getting destroyed in the Superdelegate count because he has only been a Democrat for 1 year where as Hillary has been one for 40 years.
Popular vote is meaningless when so many states dont vote, they caucus. Totally different setups, thats why not even the DNC believe it is meaningful, and that says alot.

The unelected delegates should NEVER announce who they support before the convention if the rationale for them is that party elders could overrule the people if something really bad happens to the nominee. Its unconscionable that they have been used from day 1, before Sanders even entered the race, to shape public opinion about Hillary's grand lead, discouraging people from voting and deceiving people.

If you were planning on voting for Bernie Sanders, then it would have still been a year that you didnt vote for a Democrat.

Goes to show that the DNC has already picked Hilary. Establishment Politics at work!


Bernie and his supports really see Clinton for what she is Corrupt and not presidential material.

I keep seeing this type of comment. The voters picked Hillary Clinton.

That is true, though had he been the nominee, he would have been the nominee for the Democrat party and I would still be voting Democrat in this election.

Keep shilling for Trump though. You are doing an excellent job. Mind blowing how many people who claim to support Hillary feel the need to actively campaign for Trump.

The voters pick based on money, media exposure and name recognition. The science is OVERWHELMING on this. Thats why most political scientists agree that the US is NOT a democracy, but a PLUTOCRACY, where the ordinary people have very little to no say in the political process.

Oh the DNC picked Hillary from the beginning, and then set the primary season up in a way to make sure she won, and succeeded. This is fairly common knowledge, even if she was running against anyone else other than Sanders, the results would have been the same. The DNC wanted Hillary, and they got her.

A clear majority of democratic voters prefer her as the nominee, don't see what's the problem with her getting the nomination.
