@maporsche,
But Lash has already stated she thinks all the superdelegates that have declared for Hillary should change to Bernie because she wants him to be the nominee. She dont care about change as long as its the change she wants.
What crawled up this bitch's ass?

She's very obviously lying in the face of all kinds of evidence. Wonder why?
Media: "Sanders won another state, (then, in most condescending tone possible) but he can't win."
@edgarblythe,
Sanders won the state but got the exact same number of pledged delegates as Hillary.
Ergo - he is not closing the gap and the probability of him catching her is only become less.
@edgarblythe,
Quote:Media: "Sanders won another state, (then, in most condescending tone possible) but he can't win."
It is not condescending when you speak a simple fact Edgarblythe. He did win another state but not by enough of a margin to make a difference in delegates which are portioned out by the democrat rules, it ended being a tie. However, as you know very well, Sanders needed more than a tie in the delegates to overtake Hillary's current lead in the delegate math.

FAQs:
Q: Aren’t you being disloyal to your old friends Bill and Hillary Clinton by supporting Bernie Sanders?
A: I admire and respect Hillary Clinton, but Bernie stands for everything I’ve been fighting for over 30 years – getting big money out of American politics and making our economy work for the many instead of the few.
Q: Do you write your FB posts yourself?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you do the drawings in your videos?
A: Yes.
Q: What will your new documentary be about?
A: In “Inequality for All,” our last documentary, we explained widening inequality and its disastrous consequences. In “Saving Capitalism” we’ll show what can and must be done. We’ve just launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund it. Hope you’ll join.
Q: Why do you want to save capitalism?
A: By “capitalism” I mean private property and voluntary exchange of goods and services. It’s now worldwide, Even China is embracing it. The real question is what kind of capitalism – one rigged in favor of those at the top, or one that provides equal opportunity, and respects the environment. We must have the latter. American capitalism as now organized is unsustainable.
Q: Do you also teach students?
A: Yes, I’m a professor at Berkeley. In the fall I teach graduate students in public policy. In the spring I teach undergraduates. This spring I’m teaching 800 undergrads in a course called “Wealth and Poverty.”
Q: Did you set out to attract so many people to your FB page?
A: No. I’ve just posted what I think are important ideas and issues. I’m blown away by the intelligence and thoughtfulness of those who post comments on the page. I’m also proud that, for the most part, our discussions are civil and respectful. That’s all too rare today.
Q: Your videos are seen by millions. Who helps you with them?
A: The same person who directs our documentaries -- Jake Kornbluth, who’s enormously gifted and very committed to these issues. We’ve also brought on Yael Bridge to help produce them, and Zoe Beck to run our non-profit organization, “Inequality Media.”
Q: Are you still writing books?
A: Of course. “Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few,” is now into its 8th printing, and is being translated into nine languages. It will be out in paperback in May.
Q: How do you stay optimistic?
A: First, American history shows our capacity for reform. Look at the 1830s, the period between 1901 and 1916, and from 1933 to 1939, and, of course, the 1960s. We’re on the cusp of another period of major reform. Second, I’m surrounded by young people whose idealism and commitment are greater than that of any generation of young people I’ve taught in 35 years. Third, optimism is better than the alternative.
It really eartates me that if you respond to one of the groups supporting your candidate, they take your email and ask you for money every single day. And I have no way of knowing how that money is really used. So I delete without reading.
@Lash,
Exactly, like the platform means nothing, that half the party supporters voice means nothing, like the VP means nothing, like stands only evolved lately aren't allowed to be remembered as if history only starts today, that Congressional elections that come up every two years and the nominations to SCOTUS mean nothing, too.
They defend what everybody knows is a primary system that is ridiculous and obviously serves only the interests of the RNC and the DNC over the cares and concerns of the rank and file and the truly independent.
@edgarblythe,
I get the same thing; emails asking for money. How they got my email address is irritating because they send it so often, and makes me want to vote for the opposition.
@cicerone imposter,
In the last presidential election, our Diane was working the phones for Obama. She ran into many people on her list that sounded pretty irate at the number of similar calls they had received.
I'm glad the DNC (and RNC for that matter) haven't gotten my contact information, but many friends are hot about the DNC dunning them for cash constantly.
I get messages from the Sanders campaign about once every two weeks. Some celebrate a victory and thank me for my help; one reminded me of my polling location! haha; some seem like a friendly info talk about pros and cons of the next caucus/primary; and a few ask for a donation. Most of the time, they're signed by Jeff Weaver and the requests specify $3.00. A couple of times, they've been signed from Bernie.
I love being in that loop. It's been a couple of months since I've sent anything. I'll be sending about $20-$25. before the NY primary. Usually, Bernie supporters get a moneybomb going on twitter so it all hits together. I've done it before, and I think I'll do it again. It's usually most potent when Hillary or her campaign piss us off.
LOL. I can't remember the last thing she said that delivered $3-4 mil to him that night. We almost broke the internet.
@Lash,
You broke the Internet but the comment was so innocuous that you can't remember it?
@engineer,
Well, it didn't come immediately to mind, but per your interest:
Hillary got that bellow-y voice when Bernie called her out for taking such an obscene amount of money from Wall Street for "speeches," and she wrapped herself in 911. My daughter said incredulously, "She actually 911'd it."
That was a brilliantly moderated debate, IMO. The moderators had comments from social media streaming real time, and someone tweeted that they couldn't believe she'd wrap herself in 911 as an excuse for her gross enrichment for political favors. I really can't believe she could maintain a presidential campaign after that truly low moment...
My kid and I both donated that night...along with a zillion other people.
Here's what it looked like.

@Lash,

She has gotten to sounding like a drill sergeant chewing out a raw recruit when she speaks these days.
@edgarblythe,
Some times, she looks unbalanced to me.
@edgarblythe,
You mean that bellow-y voice that is perfectly ok when a guy uses it? Like when Sanders and Trump and Cruz use it it's fine but not when Clinton uses it, right?
