Bernie in today's Washington Post (and I agree with the premise):
Here's what we want
My supporters and I want real change in this country.
...
They [the 12 million that voted for Sanders] understand that the United States is the richest country in the history of the world, and that new technology and innovation make us wealthier every day. What they don’t understand is why the middle class continues to decline, 47 million of us live in poverty and many Americans are forced to work two or three jobs just to cobble together the income they need to survive.
What do we want? We want an economy that is not based on uncontrollable greed, monopolistic practices and illegal behavior. We want an economy that protects the human needs and dignity of all people — children, the elderly, the sick, working people and the poor. We want an economic and political system that works for all of us, not one in which almost all new wealth and power rests with a handful of billionaire families.
...
Here's what we want

Ready? Was, for a while there. My son noted when we were out climbing 3 days back that he still thought Bernie was going to win it. I'm like "WTF planet are you living on? Democrats want someone dishonest to be their standard bearer, not an honest person". LOL
** Voted for Bernie and he easily won my states primary, Calif let us down*
Edit: Bernies out. You now are left with a vote for Tweddle dee or tweedle dumb. Both super flawed candidates and they can do the job of course, but both suck. How the hell does this happen?

Crankster, lol!!! I am already over it. Crankster's response is exactly what I expect from him too. No reflection necessary. Possibly, his preferred candidate won by any means necessary? California reported votes at election close;
Clinton 1,940,580
Sanders 1,502,043
Uncounted 2,500,000 The 700,000 provisional ballots will probably not be counted.
This process doesn't bother you even a little? Wow...lol
I had long ago accepted Sanders was not going to win. This has nothing to do with that.

You guys are forgetting the two parties are private organizations, and are not legally bound to general vote. Thats why both have delegate systems And if they wanted to dispense with the delegates, and just have the chair decide on the candidate.....totally within their rights as a private organization.
Hence, it's impossible to commit fraud on a primary vote for a party candidate.
The lack of understanding of simple government and basic economics is what unites Bernie supporters.

Let's get real - Bernie carried the oh-so-white vote, the oh-so-white-and-young vote, and the we-let-everyone-vote-in-the-primary vote. No way he would ever beat trump in the general - can't carry the South or whole swaths of the West. Was never going to happen.

Huh?
Those results don't jive with the secretary of state's totals.
Clinton: 2,582,000
Sanders: 2,138,000

Bernie supporters have a couple of choices: suck it up, vote for the person Bernie will endorse soon, Hillary Clinton, move on to making his "revolution" a reality by getting involved in electing like-minded people to local, state and federal offices, or, ...
Go to Philadelphia next month and set dumpster fires.
I guess there is a third route: you could move into an underground bunker, not vote, and post ignorant, stoopid rants on a daily basis.
