76. The actions of a few Sanders supporters AFTER learning about the DNC cheating justifies the cheating
Sun Dec 4, 2016, 06:02 PM
Dec 2016

by leaders of the DNC?

You bet Bernie Sanders supporters were pissed off. They knew DWS and the DNC were cheating and the emails right before the convention proved it.

You may have forgot that DWS resigned just the day before the convention after getting caught. People were furious. For months Sanders supporters were called names and ridiculed for claiming that the DNC was unfair and favoring Clinton. Now a few days before the convention there was PROOF.


There only a couple yelling of people yelling"lock her up" and they can barely be heard. They weren't even close to being the majority of Bernie supporters and they aren't leaders of the Democratic party.

Your link didn't work for me by the way. I get "page not found".

On the other side of this were leaders of the Democratic party being caught red handed violating the spirit and rules of the party to remain fair and neutral.

So unfair that that even Harry Reid admitted it;

I thought Bernie deserved somebody that was not critical to him. I knew ― everybody knew ― that this was not a fair deal. So I’m sorry she had to resign, but it was the right thing to do. She just should’ve done it sooner.”
