it'll make a small impact probably but nothing significant.

I really just need bernie to press through in Michigan and Washington so he can kill biden in the next debate. It really is a travesty that there was no debate this week.

That's cuz when you're that old, your life revolves around working and being on a boring routine.

Young people got b****es they're trying to holler at (male and female), school to go to as well as lots of homework so school never really stops like a job does. Then you got social activities and a bunch of other s***.

i think he's definitely going to do well in those two states, but only time will tell. american electoralism is a running joke so ya never know

It is hypocritical, lol. You are literally changing the rules for a candidate IN THE MIDDLE OF A PRIMARY who you have a deep connections with but not for others.

Imagine defending this kind of behavior and saying it's only because he was "viable".

It was pretty clearly because he was a viable candidate lmao

You’re trying to attribute some half-baked conspiracy theory to something that is very easily explained by literally what the job of the committee is

Why would an organization whose goal is to chose a presidential candidate accommodate someone who literally cannot won the nomination?

You’re willfully ignoring common sense to propagate a conspiracy theory that doesn’t even make sense...

I have no idea why some people are floating Klobuchar as a good VP pick for Biden. He needs a VP who will energize people and raise turnout. Klobuchar is even more boring than Biden (if that's possible).

Also, I keep seeing people saying that he needs a woman VP (they said the same thing about Bernie too). This logic is beyond dumb to me. The Republicans NEVER go at it with the logic that you need to have a mixed gender ticket, and the yet it's the Dems who seem to feel like it always needs to be a strong consideration (even though they will always win the women voter demographic regardless). And the women who want their to be a mixed gender ticket are the ones who would never vote for the GOP in a million years anyway lmao.

how is this fool gonna say that the dnc shouldnt change their rules to accommodate tulsi when they literally changed them to shut her out. she hits a delegate threshold for the debate and suddenly its "uh well, actually, you need 20% of the delegates". like broh, how are you denying open election rigging at this point? buckley is the woat poster in here.

They didn’t change any rules to shut Tulsi out. There were no stated requirements for the debate until they released the ones we have now.

She met the requirements for a previous debate... They have been increasing the requirements as the race went on the entire time.

i am sure he's trolling at this point

You say I’m trolling but you can’t substantiate anything you claim

yep trolling

That’s a pretty compelling argument.

And DWS sending some mean emails was the proof of “rigging” in 2016, right?

They literally changed the rules to be more accommodating to a candidate like Bernie since 2016, at his behest.

Some of you guys are just way too fragile and insular for anyone’s good.

Pete doing a marathon of Madea movies rn trying to relate to African American voters

bernie got the don riegle MI endorsement all this man needs is the eminem endorsement and we sewed up

We’ve gone from

“Lol a Trump fan. Concern troll!”, to

“Lol neolibs don’t get it... got to be a troll!”, to

“Lol well you support the same candidate and most of the same ideals as me, but you aren’t willing to attribute every single one of his shortcomings to a conspiracy theory that don’t really make sense. Troll!”

You guys don’t even know who to blame at this point. You’re just lashing out like children.

"Mean" emails...lol. Is that how you characterized DNC staffers suggesting spreading negative articles about Sanders to his supporters or the DNC's chief financial officer saying they should question Sanders' faith.

No wonder Wasserman Schulz resigned. There was a CLEAR bias against Sanders internally.

They all deserved to lose their jobs for showing favorites, but there is literally no evidence that they did anything to rig the election. It wasn’t even a close race...

It’s plain as day that Bernie couldn’t even get his core base out to vote, and you’re still here trying to cook up excuses.

Young people can make time if they cared. Their absence in the polls is completely on them

i mean i agree with where you coming from for the most part but it’s sort of disingenuous to gaslight the way the DNC has been “playing politics” and act as if for all intents and purposes it can’t be distilled down to “rigging”

this is discounting all the (increasingly substantiated) claims of voter suppression, missing votes and late arrivals, but drastically stacking the deck against one individual while literally the entire rest of that establishment rallies against accordingly - i don’t think people are really accusing the DNC of faking votes perse or literally making it statistically impossible for the other to win (besides tulsi lol but that’s on her). it’s more so as acknowledging that it was always going to be a race positioned against sanders, before it even got distilled down to one nominee

now you can argue the fact that sanders can basically be considered an “invader” into their “democratic” process so it’s not surprising he’s treated as such, but just bc you acknowledge something that basically inevitable or “like minded people rallying accordingly,” we can still call a spade a spade and acknowledge that it’s a conjoined effort to take him out.

and if the vote represents that accordingly? i’m not trying to take away agency from each voter but let’s also not act like is a completely definite representation of what people want or “voted for”

you never answered my question about buck angel

basically it’s fair and completely unfair at the same time, just due to how our political system and parties are set up

rigged - manipulated or controlled by deceptive or dishonest means.

Presenting yourself as a neutral organization not favoring any candidate but internally conspiring against Sanders sure fits the definition of manipulating public opinion by deceitful means, doesn't it?

My problem is mostly with the people taking EXTREME liberty with what constitutes “rigging” and then run with it as fact.

S*** like the Iowa caucus is something that happens pretty much every year. Caucusing is a f***ing stupid and messy process and should be done away with, but that isn’t somehow unfair to Bernie now. S*** like candidates dropping out to endorse another candidate who their values align with is just common sense and people trying to portray it as “rigging” are just flat out ignorant. There are still people trying to blame the DNC for voter suppression in Texas that was done by Republicans to ultimately harm the DNC...

Bruh..this man worst than the MAGA stans, lol.
