i never said that, you did.

i said there was a concerted disinformation campaign that microtargeted black voters in key swing states.
That's exactly what is implied by your claim; that black voters were not informed enough to be able to discern propaganda from reality. For some reason this propaganda only worked on black voters because they didn't turn out in high enough numbers to get her elected..

Electoral College all together should be eliminated.

That, and what @Fogdog said....

Superdelegates are elected lawmakers from the Democratic party.

Sanders campaign team members were part of the group that changed rules for superdelegates

"I want people to understand that this commission is different from others that we’ve had in the past. It's something that has real teeth in it because it prescribes the outcome, for the most part, that we are going to see a real change in the superdelegates, basically reducing them by two-thirds,” said Michaeleen Crowell, Sanders's chief of staff.

Delegates from both the Sanders and Clinton camps spoke out in favor of the deal before the vote. No one spoke in opposition.

Jeez, man. more than a year has gone by and you not only don't know what has been done but are rehashing an election where superdelegates didn't matter.

A small number of elected lawmakers are not bound by the votes of their states. The rest are. This is much more democratic than the electoral college. Go start a therad about that.

... Im gunna go smoke some more pot now. Bye bye.

You made the claim. Walk it back all you want, everyone has already seen it.

Nice, glad you finally admit it. Tell SneekyNinja about it
Are you now changing your stance that politicians should sign a pledge to forego legal campaign contributions from corporations and large donors before you would even allow them to run?

Are you now saying that legal campaign contributions from corporation in the pharma and financial industry are ok?

If so, we have no disagreement. On the other hand you will have some apologies to make to me and others for the shit you've said before now that you finally see that we were right.

Politics is a dirty game. ALL the fucking time. Not when you say it is.

'When they go low, we go high' works great in speeches. In reality, you better be willing to get down and dirty to have a chance.

Maybe we weren't dirty enough last time.

We'll try to improve, too much is at stake.

Maybe you don't care about the environment, the poor, unions, rich fuckers getting away with murder, minorities and (formerly) protected classes as much as you claim.

And what the flying fuck were you talking about that you're not a Democrat or Republican?

Because that only leaves disenfranchised.
This is so laughably ethically bankrupt that you don't even get that the entire country has seen right through the endemic corruption of the Democratic Party and realizes how worthless it is.

That's why Progressives are even now making huge gains, because of a concept you haughtily shit upon; 'credibility'.

nope, otherwise you would quote it.

i said russians microtargeted black voters. you said all the racist stuff.
I did quote it..

Right, you said Russians microtargeted black voters. I asked you how they did this. According to you, black people can be targeted and manipulated to vote a certain way, regardless of their own intellect or personal perspective on political issues.

That's not racist?

You're purposefully misrepresenting my position

So no need for me to even address this

All Bernie supporters on RIU should register Independent and stay the fuck there. No need to worry what the Democratic party does. Your empty head is not needed nor wanted. Hell you guys can start a new party with a new name. The Denial Party
If we did this the Democrats would never win an office again. Not even dog catcher.

The sooner you figure this out, the sooner we can move this country forward.

Unless you LIKE the elites running the country without a care for your needs, that is.
