In reply to the discussion: BERNIE SUPPORTERS MAJOR ALERT -- PUERTO RICO THEFT OF VOTES NOW [View all]Time for change
(13,714 posts)We've seen this kind of crap happen in one primary after another all year long. Massive voter suppression, targeted against one candidate; fake audits where hand counts differ from machine counts and election workers revise their counts by taking votes away from one candidate and giving them to another, to coincide with the black box machine that counted our votes; massive and consistent exit poll deviations from official vote counts which which cry out for fraud investigations, and yet nothing is done about it; strong armed abuse of power at the Nevada State convention, caught on videotape, to get more delegates for the same candidate who has benefited from these things all year long.
And what is the response? Our national corporate "news" media says not a word about it. The Democratic Party says not a word about it, except to accuse Sanders supporters of violence when they engage in peaceful protests against it. From Clinton supporters at this and many other sites, many of them paid, we get insults like "crybaby" and "conspiracy theorist" hurled at anyone who wants to talk about this theft of our democracy. Or they laugh about it. Or they repeatedly point out that their candidate has more delegates than the candidate who is the victim of all this.
And still we are supposed to believe that the candidate who draws record breaking enthusiastic crowds wherever he goes is losing a fair election to a candidate who can barely fill a gymnasium for her rallies.
Well I for one will never vote for anyone who is the beneficiary of such blatant fraud, no matter who she runs against. Our rapidly fading democracy is too important to condone this kind of thing.
