Nature ain't always at our beck and call.

You know what? (none / 0) (#46)

I agree.  I think it's true on both sides.

Here's the thing.  People have tried to tell Bernie what he was doing, which began constructive, had become destructive.  It's been destructive for a while.  And it was not a secret.   It was written about widely by Bernie supporters.  No one should be, and few are, surprised by what is happening.

He could have eased these people into this like every serious candidate has in modern history.

But NOOOOO

He's going to the fuking convention.  HES going to make sure every one has a "voice".  He was going to make sure his wife got a great salary.

Bernie is going to reap what he sowed.   And he deserves it.  Sadly so are we all.

into computers sounds like good news in the long run for the Democrats..

This is Nixonian dirty tricks stuff.

The party that'll literally do anything to win is at it again. One more time for old time's sake..

And I think Bernie will chill his overwrought people better than you think he can.

I do.  He doesn't want what is happening.  Clearly.

About the Nixonian thing if you didn't, read the article I linked to (mistakenly, I meant to put it in the open) in this thread.  Says some interesting things on this subject.  

I am very interested in what Bernie says.   I just want Nina Turner to stfu.

his delegates. They kept shouting "No TPP" while Congressman Elijah Cummings was speaking. Very progressive of them to heckle a Civil Rights hero.

How is this (none / 0) (#69)

Nixonian dirty tricks.

The dirty tricks were what the DNC did to Sanders.

Now, if you are intimating that the Russians coordinated with the Trump campaign, then yes, this would damage the rump campaign.

But I rather highly doubt that occurred.

Just the Russians making mischief, and Democrats should be thankful that the DNC has been called out for their dirty tricks, perhaps they won't try that again.

A more likely reason...Just payback!!!
Putin doesn't get mad, he gets even!!!

When mass protests against Russian President Vladimir Putin erupted in Moscow in December 2011, Putin made clear who he thought was really behind them: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
With the protesters accusing Putin of having rigged recent elections, the Russian leader pointed an angry finger at Clinton, who had issued a statement sharply critical of the voting results. "She said they were dishonest and unfair," Putin fumed in public remarks, saying that Clinton gave "a signal" to demonstrators working "with the support of the U.S. State Department" to undermine his power. "We need to safeguard ourselves from this interference in our internal affairs," Putin declared.
