(9,704 posts)Why does the primary end with the last primary election when we all know it will be a contested convention? The contested convention is part of the primary process and this one could be truly historic. I don't understand this. I could see implementing some stronger civility rules up until then, but to say the primary is over is very dismissive of the Bernie campaign. Even if Hillary wins CA and NJ, she won't have enough pledged delegates to take the nomination and the supers HAVEN'T VOTED YET.
Also, as you well know, Hillary Clinton is under FBI investigation and there is ample reason to suspect an indictment. Even if you disagree with that assessment, her polls numbers are on a continuous dive.
I'm not sure if you ever go to DailyKos. It's like a skeleton of its former self. I posted something during the 2008 election and it got almost 1000 recs. Now, the recommended page often only has double digit recs - not even in the hundreds. It reads like propaganda site. The last post with almost 500 recs (today) was from a Bernie supporter pointing that out. Hardly anyone goes there anymore.
I would hate to see DU descend into the abyss as well.
Thank you.
