Democratic Underground was founded after the stolen election in 2000 [View all]

Do Hillary supporters realize that election fraud has taken place in this country?

Either Hillary supporters were not Democrats in 2000 and 2004, or they were not paying attention?

Or is it that the hired posters are from other countries and do not really understand what has been going on in our elections?

Except he didn't siphon votes away from Gore Scootaloo May 2016 #90

As we ALL know, this kind of thing, by its nature, is incapable of any evidence merrily May 2016 #72

OK oberliner May 2016 #77

Because no one would hire posters for the largest Democratic site on the net? merrily May 2016 #79
