you want dissension? that's the pinnacle...

laughing at the fucking idiots more and more everyday

 

[MantisToboggan]

Couldn't happen to a more likeable person.

 

[Willie99]

I agree, Debbie's the absolute worse

She's a poster child of what's wrong and corrupt in American politics

and somebody just ended her political relevance

 

[JDeuce]

The real question, IMO, becomes what will Bernie do now that it's been revealed the DNC fucked him over?

If he endorses Hillary, he will prove to be the ultimate spineless sellout. If he doesn't, it'll continue to divide and fracture the dimocrap party as a whole.

God bless whoever the hell released these documents...you'll never have to buy a beer if you're ever in my town.

Bernie was on CNN touting Hilary this morning. There's no question what he is going to do.

Democrats grapple with intraparty divisions two days before convention opens

By Saturday afternoon, some Sanders supporters were exploring the possibility of putting an alternative to Kaine into nomination. National Nurses United, one of the first and largest unions to endorse Sanders, suggested that Ohio politician Nina Turner, one of Sanders’s most prominent black surrogates, run as a Kaine alternative. A loose alliance called the Bernie Delegates Network, which had polled members and found 88 percent opposed to Kaine, planned to hold a Sunday morning news conference.

“The outrage is not just smoldering — it is burning,” said Norman Solomon, a California delegate and leader of the Bernie Delegates Network. “There has been an insurgency in the party, far beyond anybody’s expectations. Hillary seems to have gone out of her way to say — not just to her delegates but to progressives — that she hasn’t learned anything from that insurgency.”

Yup...what is the phrase about dogs lying with fleas?

Yep, he just did the same on Meet the Depressed.

Unbelievable. How can one single dim voter take this party seriously? This is not going to sit well with his supporters, who may even shift over to voting for Trump out of pure spite. Dimocraps ridiculed R's for electing Trump, but they may have just put their party in position to experience the same powerful voter spite.

They aren't voting for Trump. Last poll I saw had 5% of them voting for Trump. Most will vote for Clinton, some will vote for Johnson or Stein, and the remaining +/-10% will vote for Trump or stay home.

I'm guessing a very large majority of voters have no idea who Debbie is. Her speaking or not is just another story that will have no impact on who wins in November.

 

[MantisToboggan]

I actually think more than 10% won't vote, but that's my guess as to who they will "support" leading up to the election.

The impression I'm getting from Bernie supporters is they are all pissed off for the exact reason I mentioned: he became an establishment sellout faster than Finch makes himself look stupid with a post on here.

Just my gut feel but I really doubt they'll all smoothly migrate over into Camp Grandma. If anything, they'll just say fuck it and stay home on Election Day. This may be one of the lower dim turnouts in some time.

Definitely possible. I just don't think they will migrate to Trump. It's a crazy election. You have large chunks of each party that just will not vote the nominee in their respective party. It's pretty incredible when you think about it.

 

[Seymour]

Im pretty sure I hate this bitch more than Pelosi or the Beast

Poor poor Bernie - like the Kings versus the Lakers - he never had a chance but he did say they were cheating

Dem turnout hit a new low in the primaries.

The enthusiasm just isn't there.

And it’s just the opposite with Republicans. Record turnout.

[h=1]Debbie Wasserman Schultz to Resign D.N.C. Post[/h]
PHILADELPHIA — Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic National Committee chairwoman, said on Sunday that she would step down from the role at the conclusion of party’s convention this week after a hack into the party’s internal emails revealed she and top aides had actively attempted to undermine Senator Bernie Sanders’s presidential bid.

 

[SheriffJoe]

Poor Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Under her impeccable leadership, Democrats have lost:

- 900+ State legislature seats
- 12 Governorships
- 69 House Seats
- 13 Senate Seats

She will be missed.

I've disliked her for a long time, she refused to go after some Florida Republicans not long ago who were running against Dems, saying, "I have to work with those people(meaning the Repubs)?" Wtf?!?! Well, with that attitude, get the fuck out bitch. Also, a friend of mine-who is not only Jewish, but from NYC, as well, the group that Snitch Bitch refers to as being particularly stupid-hey, isn't that anti-Semitic?!?!-said the DNC was afraid to can her ass because she'd drop hints about filing a suit for being discriminated against, both for being Jewish and a woman, if that happened. Since she has jumped rather than being pushed, I assume THAT particular option is off of the table.

Yeah that's because it's Hilary and let's face it most Dems felt that Bernie didn't have a chance. Can't wait for the election to be over, but if Hilary's odds continue to drop, I'm dropping some $$$ at the book on her to win,
