So we have a mostly white group of disgruntled voters

Alleging that the candidate who won a vast majority of POC votes won by voter fraud and is thus illegitimate.

Wasn't this the far-right conservative position in 2012? And now its the"progressive" position in 2016?

So what about Wisconsin w/Governor Monk Head & Florida's Gore vs Bush BS? Why was Bush allowed to be President? Why was GOV Scott Walker allowed to be governor when one of his minions REALLY stored voter results on a PC & lied about it? Why did so many ballots go missing? OUR voting system is F--Ked & it appears Democrats are just as guilty as Republicans! WTFU is wrong with these people?
Why are Hillary supporters living in la la land thinking America still has democracy?
It APPEARS Hillary supporters are accepting her corrupt BS despite the TRUTHS coming out about her & her family's connections! They're so called Foundation, Bill visiting voter centers to support wife which is illegal, Wall Street not only giving her thousands for ONE DAM SPEECH but her unwillingness to share the transcripts of these speeches? Why is that okay?
Hillary supporters are coming off worse than GOP supporters who support Trump! WHY? Because they should KNOW BETTER!
They call Bernie supporters a CULT when its them who are brainwashed and living IN DENIAL!

voter fraud. It's happened before and you were against it, but when it happens for your candidate, bingo-bango your principles go out the window. The Oligarchy wants Clinton, that is obvious. The Oligarchy owns the media and controls most of the DNC and local Parties.

It's this corrupt culture that you revere so deeply that we are fighting. To get the billionaires out of our government.

You can not win a GE without POC yet they make the argument that less votes, less pledged delages and less support of POC is in a better postition to win.

a lot of POC are offended and feeling disrespected by how the Sanders campaign and movement have treated our issues and votes? Believe me, there's only so much of being told that black votes represent the far right racist Confederacy one can take, or that the highest priority for progressives is winning back bigoted white working class GOP voters.

And also trivializes the concerns about election irregularities and election fraud, where tons of people were reporting being denied their right to vote, or to vote a normal ballot, despite being registered correctly.

You're conflating a real issue regarding voter access with the fact Sanders isn't winning. It's disingenuous to the core. Especially when most of the problems occur in areas that have Hillary-favoring demographics. Tldr, the more fair and open the process, the harder Bernie loses.

I propose all white people sit out and let the POC handle the vote. Based on this site, that's the only vote that matters, so I am really very cool with that.

Or maybe, nobody should have their vote questioned, POC or white, as has been the race baiting/dividing tactic of the Hillary supporter. I thought we were past this shit but I guess Brock and Co. want to take another swing at it.
