Hey b*tch, switch votes.
Superdelegates supporting Hilary Clinton are getting angry, abusive phone calls and emails from Bernie Sanders' backers demanding they switch sides.
The pressure is intense, say Clinton superdelgates from states won by Sanders. Superdelegates are not "pledged" to the state victor and can vote whichever way they want.
That's leading to a torrent of unpleasantness.
...Sanders supporters have also been blamed for some of the disruptions at Republican front-runner Donald Trump's rallies. These aren't the first complaints about harassment by enraged Sanders devotees. When MoveOn.org, a progressive organization that endorsed Sanders, mobilized thousands of supporters to protest outside a Trump rally in Chicago last month, the protests turned so violent that the police arrived on scene and the event was cancelled.
Well, Sanders is a socialist. They tend to violence.
Well, Sanders is a socialist. They tend to violence. Unintentionally revealing quote of the week so far: "This is like something Trump would do!" Yeah, but it's not Trump doing it, is it. Also revealing is the way Clinton superdelegates dismiss this groundswell of popular support for Sanders as somehow illegitimate.
laughing, oh how the radical right is grasping for straws... :doh
First Sanders is a DEMOCRATIC Socialist- like much of Western Europe so the 'Commie crap' is as false as 'Compassionate Conservative'...
If anyone tends to be violent it appears Trump and his crew are way out in first place there- oh if only his delegate count was as big...
Let's see how Sanders does in the Big delegate traditional Dem states before we declare a groundswell... winning a Dem caucus in a Red State isn't going to win in a general....eace
Look how screwed up Europe [no matter what you call them] If he can keep Hillary out pf the WH, power to him.
Screwed up??? I guess you have a different way of looking at this. But it is refreshing to get the spotlight on how screwed up we are- (and the GOP nominating process)...eace
Probably not far from where we are but,.... https://www.stratfor.com/weekly/european-union-nationalism-and-crisis-europe
"angry", "demanding", those are harsh terms, but I understand why they feel that way.Superdelegates supporting Hilary Clinton are getting angry, abusive phone calls and emails from Bernie Sanders' backers demanding they switch sides.

In what way is Sanders violent ? Isn't Clinton way more hawkish / pro war than Sanders ? Does Sanders encourage violence during his rallies ?
What's the point of this thread ?

Socialists tend to violence. I offer Venezuela as the latest example. That and Sander's followers.
I can't think of socialists like Sanders without thinking of Venezuela and how that's turning out. Or Cuba and how that turned out. Or the USSR and how that turned out. Or Cambodia and that turned out. I just think we'd be stupid to go down that path with all the examples out there about what it will get us.
You guys keep saying "democratic socialist" like it's supposed to mean something. There's only one kind of socialist -- the socialist kind.
There are many, many different kinds of socialism; many different perspectives on what it is, what it can or should be, and how to get there. The right wing tends to pretend that all socialism is inherently Soviet-style communism or Stalinism: an oppressive totalitarian regime. But that's not true at all. It's a straw man meant to discredit the very concept of socialism.
...
Communism is the statism of the Soviet Union (which never even had Marx's proletarian dictatorship, but a dictatorship by an elite), whereas Socialism is something more moderate and generally still democratic. Social Democracy is what so many northern European countries have been doing so successfully since the end of World War 2: the good parts of capitalism but with clear workers' rights and an eye for economic equality.
