If Bernie lost ~ that's on him. You cannot point to ONE state and say it was rigged.


Whatever.


Trump is ten times worse than W. but you justify it to yourself however you have to.
Did I say any state election was rigged? No, I said the whole primary was rigged. Hillary has been the nominee long before any votes were cast.

If Hillary loses to Trump, that is her fault and the DNC. She isn't getting my vote, nor would she have ever gotten my vote. If party votes mean more to you than principles, then that is your issue. As I see it, both candidates are horrible picks and any vote for either one would be throwing away a vote.

It reminds me of women's figure skating where the winner is chosen before the competition begins. It's up to the ruling body together with the complicit media (that has been bought and paid for) to convince is it is all on the up and up. It's all about fabricating a good story that we are suppose to believe while ditching our own independent thinking minds somewhere.

The 'primary' is voted on state by state. IF you think the primary was rigged - certainly you must have several states in mind along with some proof.

The primary was no more 'rigged' than it has been for the past 20 years.

Again, Bernie's well-paid campaign advisor, Tad Davine, helped to craft the super delegate system. You can go on NPR and listen to him explain it in great detail.

I realize that you are determined to nullify my vote along with every other person who voted for Hillary.

Looking at Stein's platform makes me think she would be a female Jimmy Carter with even less experience. Too weak.

Ok. Don't vote for her. Vote for the crook if she's more to your taste.

The great news is everyone who wants to vote for an honest candidate now has the opportunity!

Hillary Clinton ALREADY has the votes of 500 Democratic 'superdelegates' | Daily Mail Online

This was put out before anyone voted. What it is saying is that Hillary already has a huge head start so don't bother as you can't catch her.

I don't get the impression that her anti-vaccine stance translates to smart-cookieness, just kookiness.

I cant see where Jill Stein will be attracting many righties,she leads the green party which has strong views on environmental issues.
Bottom line? she has no chance of winning.

She loses or another (D) or (R) wins and the country loses. Some choice.
