(39,215 posts)women who have a vote in the convention and can whip out 10,000 of us with each vote. They are called Super-Delegates and they whip out our votes whenever they want to ------ rigged.
And maybe we ought to talk about closed elections where a great many people are not allowed to vote for a candidate they support ------rigged.
Better that we talk about what is happening all across the country with the same problems for voters-----rigged.
Better that I tell you what is happening in one convention after another - slates if candidates put forward to run the party next election, including DNC candidates, who no one knows anything about or what or who they represent. Most likely establishment. ------ rigged.
You are asking for a coronation without any input from the opposition. You are NOT going to get it.
BTW if you bother to go in and look what is being done there is nothing destructive about it and in fact there are classes about non-violent protests.

(474 posts)is that signing on for the corporate media/DNC narrative requires that you ignore the evidence of your experience and your senses. instead you have to sign on to ideas like "even though she's as solid a neocon as there ever was, she's a progressive" and "strangers give you millions of dollars and expect nothing in return." it's faker than fake, and a great many of us refuse to ignore the evidence of our senses ("fact-based" for short).
the social media attack squad is really out in force i see. you put out any idea that isn't already rubberstamped and you get hidden in 2 seconds.
party discipline even the communist part of the soviet union would approve of.
for shame.
