    …are you saying you believe we had a fair democratic primary when Bernie ran against Hillary? You genuinely don’t believe the Democratic Party stacked the deck against him so that the candidate they picked (Hillary) received the nomination?

      Of course the deck was stacked against a challenger going into an establishment party primarily. Sanders understood this going in. Why didn’t you? And even with all that Sanders still did exceptionally well. You’re taking away the wrong lesson from this. And despite the fact that I think that the primary should be made more democratic and less stacked against Outsiders and Challengers. The Democratic party did not break their own rules as a lower bar as that may be. Outside of that ghoul Wasserman Schultz who was ousted from party leadership and should have been kicked from the party as a whole over it.

      I truly like sanders. But so many of his supporters are so unlike him. And that’s the problem. Easily manipulated and misled. Turned against the very party that he is a member of and works with. Undermining his ability to actually accomplish anything for them. Out of some sort of misguided ax grinding but not even he wants or has asked.

        They may not have broken their own rules, but maybe their own rules are the problem.

          That’s more or less what I implied/said. Regardless, one can’t sue someone far breeching a contract they didn’t breach. Because you don’t like the contract after the fact. Sanders knew what he was doing and what would likely happen. And he went on to do what he could to help people with the democratic party. Dispute all his misguided “supporters” attacking it. Or even supporting those opposed to him.
