2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumKeep the possibility in mind that those people leaving threats, yelling may be fakes-
Anybody who has ever demonstrated about anything must realize that quite frequently people working for the other side pretend to be demonstrators and deliberately break things or get violent as a way of trggering a response against peaceful demonstrators. When one considers that the stakes in this election are three deals that basically take over the future world, which cannot be reversed by politicians legislators or presidents, we have to realize that possibly hundreds of trillions of dollars is at stake-
I think we should expect trickery.

Divide and conquer, i suppose.

(3,733 posts)And yes there are people who are hardcore conservatives that profess to be Bernie and Hillary supporters.
But the majority are just zealots.
They're not paid and they're not doing Operation Chaos stuff.
I think and this is just my opinion that Bernies rhetoric appeals to
a certain small group of hardcore zealots.
Those are the loudest.
That they got over the line isn't really surprising because their behavior
has nothing to do with Bernie or his message.
If Bernie hadn't come along they'd be whooping it up for somebody else.
They'd still be loud and they'd still be zealots.

For example, services globalization is widely acknowledged to be devastating for the US middle class because we're not unionized like the EU. You have two sets of policies fighting one public one private and they are going to cancel one another out. But the hidden one is going to trump the public one in every area. thats how they work.

With all the lies & cheating from Clinton - it is more likely this was a Clinton/Brook operative.

The media, for reasons unknown have finally decided to start doing move beyond just fluffing his pillow and getting him hot chocolate. They will not be letting go of this, and the voices calling him out on this bullshit is growing to include (among others) Harry Reid, Dianne Feinstein, THE PRESIDENT . . . .

When you run an unethical campaign- its a natural for targeted disrupters.

(14,255 posts)I don't know why anyone believes Bernie's supporters were responsible for this crap.
In any event - nothing can get me to support a warmongering TPP-shilling Third Wayer.
So I'm good. And - will be out of what used to be the Democratic Party, in August.

(13,776 posts)The tapes they played on MSNBC a few minutes ago sounded like Trump supporters. I'm not saying they were (or that they weren't), only that they sounded as rage-fueled and unhinged as Trump voters.
I wish the primaries were ending on as civil a note as they started out.
