Joementum, thank you so much for this link. I've been attempting to explain (mostly to BernieBros who paid no attention in 2008) that primaries are party contests and their precious rights are not being trampled if they don't understand superdelegates or forget to change their party affiliation. This link will be very helpful.

this might be true but it is in no way a good thing in a two party system

bernie sanders is a lukewarm milquetoast servant of the corporations by way of not actually being opposed to the system, for all he talks up short slogans for slow people

Its funny when people say stuff like this then support any candidate of any office anywhere in the US.

Can people combat capitalism because those are in every capitalist country I've known of. (this is a dumb argument)

I mean, you found universities in communist countries so apparently they aren't only capable of propping up capitalism. Just an overall dumb argument you're making.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take
---------------------------->
I no longer believe any Bernbro claims of voter fraud or disenfranchisement because I am pretty sure that they have made that claim for literally every single vote this primary including the ones that they won.

Good job ensuring that going forward claims of legitimate voter fraud will be ignored because you've made the term meaningless

This includes disenfranchisement that would be far more impactful on Hillary voters (removal of polling places in minority districts in AZ). Bernouts are desperate to explain Bernie's loss as long as they don't need to acknowledge the weaknesses in Bernie's campaign and lack of policies.

Wisconsin was about as much a clusterfuck as AZ thanks to the current voter ID laws but none of them give a poo poo since it's a state Sanders won.

For what it's worth, both the Clinton and Sanders campaign are suing AZ together because they both know that if they get this sorted out before the general there's a good chance that John "My fellow prisoners" McCain will no longer be in the Senate.

I'd believe them more if they actually DID whine this much even when they win. Where's the bernfan outrage over WI's bullshit? Clinton and the DNC have been suing them over it since before the election, where's Bernie?

That isn't how you said it. You said the fact that these things exist in other capitalist countries means they can't possibly combat capitalism, which is a dumb thing to have said.

Honestly, universities are one of the only spaces in America where a full-time employee can openly criticize capitalism and not be taken into the office to get a good talking to.

Clinton is more likely to be a two-term president that can get Congress to do poo poo whereas Sanders is more likely to be a Carter-esque lame duck although it would be great if he got to replace Scalia in the SCOTUS
