This has to be the zenith of their decadence. It could be my lack if imagination, but I can’t think of what they could do next to top this debacle, now that it has been exposed.
In modern historical terms… I agree, but know they will be fine. More people identify with their party than any other, for various reasons. Fucking that up will be hard to do. They dominate the Legacy Press, Entertainment, Art, and Education. If they were to somehow still lose their overall control of the social and political landscape (outside of a few momentary hiccups), that would be one of the most epic collapses of all time.
It would rival 28-3 in the superbowl. It would be talked about by historians centuries later. It would be a case study in “how to NOT be the dominate political power in your country” in every major political science degree program in the world.
The party of the DNC is separate from the ideals they purport to stand for, same with the RNC. And the ideals they purport to stand for will never “go out of style”, but you can turn people off so much they look for alternatives, and all it takes is for 3-5 competent people in the Republican party who can message, and the game is lost.
Flag, wishful thinking. 10 yards, loss of down.

Oh but it was all legal and above board according to hillary. If she had won, this would all be under one bulging carpet in the WH. This bitch got more skeletons in her closet than Treblinka.
Trump tells some whoppers, but I don’t think anybody lies at the level the clinton’s do, especially hillary. She lies about things she doesn’t even need to lie about.
Fox was just saying Bazile was trying to walk back HRC statements, as being taken out of context. However, as commentator mentioned - she did write a book about it.
LOL but can’t find any substantiation on internet yet.
What specifically was she attempting to walk back?
After Sanders supporters were called conspritorial for suggesting this it was found out to be true. Most likely Sanders would have won the nomination and the Presidency. Things would be headed in a much different direction.
Wasnt Bernie 4million votes shy or something like that ?

The commentator said she was trying to deny daying the nomination was rigged.
I can’t find anything other than this back and forth.
She is on stephanopoulos program tomorrow.

I noticed that too, a fact that seems to be glossed over pretty quickly. Obama did have the weakness of hubris, as if they were lucky to have him and owed them nothing. It made it easy to exploit by a Clinton. Maybe that was by design. She’s was owed by everyone including obama. Seemed the perfect setup until it wasn’t.

Probably, in truth he probaby never had a real chance, but deserved a fair shake nonetheless. Bernie has a small but extremely enthusiastic base. The DNC fucked him. In truth that was probably a good thing if he were a ture threat.
Don’t you think the rigging had an effect?
I don’t get it.
You posted the same info l did, 4 hours after me.
But got 3 likes, this thread is biased.

I dont understand the system enough. Based on what I seen on TV didn’t the amount of votes basically just say the population wanted her?
This involves the primary election not the general. Just to make sure we are clear.
The Clinton campaign used their financial resources to take over the DNC. They took control over the DNC after they bailed out the DNC financially. The rule is that the DNC should remain neutral not favoring one candidate over another. Wow how un-democratic by a party that calls themselves the democrats.

…and they’re trying to point the finger at Russia!
They fucked with the process directly and more severely than anybody else possibly could have.

I’m sort-of agreeing with Zep. Uncharted territory. Watch out for the cynical Democrats at this point. They’ll make an argument like so:
“Bernie wasn’t even really a Democrat until right before the election. He was in the socialist party. Why should we bend over backwards to accommodate Bernie when he decides he wants to be a Democrat all the sudden?”
Why not?
The GOP and Conservatives did it for Trump…and provided the Lube…

Well exactly. The Reps have an open primary system that a popular outsider candidate could easily win.
The Dems have a closed and manipulated primary as we’re finding out.
