Operation Chaos 2016 in full effect.

1. Those advertisements sure upset some folks...

[Jitter65]

4. It's done all the time. I regard it as helpful when not familiar with all the candidates.

But how long will the Clinton campaign go allowing the false charge to stand?

[Agschmid]

5. Yup.

[MariaThinks]

2. its pretty telling how some people started accusing hillary without facts

like much of the accusations against her.

[BlueMTexpat]

7. Not just "much of" -

more like 99%.

[SheilaT]

3. The only stuff I saw here about it

made it very clear that it was a sample ballot. However, even a sample ballot really ought to show everyone running for a particular office.

[Motown_Johnny]

6. Nobody said he was.

He was left off a SAMPLE ballot that was sent out. Not the ballot itself.


Operation Distortion 2016 still going strong I see.

[ConsiderThis_2016]

21. Brock peeps abound...

[Bjornsdotter]

8. Every post I saw

...clearly said he was left off the sample ballot.

[MerryBlooms]

9. Of course he wasn't left off the official ballot.

I think some folks were upset and/or confused by the 'sample ballot'/DNC endorsed ad that went out where he was omitted. S'ok, I think a lot of people feel so disenfranchised, that any hint of impropriety, sets off their alarms. It's sad our elections have come to that. We scream for election monitoring in other countries, but we shy away from monitoring our own elections.

10. Each and every incident can be rationalized but it's funny how it only happens to Sanders

and never Clinton.

[MerryBlooms]

12. i know, it's frustrating... but we as Sanders' supporters expected the kitchen sink.

It's okay to be temporarily miffed about it, but we just need to keep moving on with donations and winning hearts and states.

[rhett o rick]

14. And most importantly, we need to follow thru regardless of the outcome.

I suggest starting a campaign for 2020 if Sanders doesn't win. We can't wait until 2024. People are literally dying of poverty and poor health care. In any case we need to replace the Blue Damn Dogs with progressives.

[MerryBlooms]

15. Yep, win or lose, we continue.

[ConsiderThis_2016]

20. "kitchen sink"?

I'm waiting for the bathtub.

[libtodeath]

11. Fail.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. I got one today sponsored by Cook County and my suburban township.

This one did not list ANY of the presidential candidates.

Thanks for posting this.

[DesertRat]

16. K&R

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. I gave up trying to explain to people what these sample ballots are

People are going to believe what suits them, especially the real fanatics.

We are beyond Silly Season.

[silvershadow]

18. No one said he was, that I know. He was left off of the Sample Ballot distributed by Cook County

Democrats.

[ConsiderThis_2016]

19. The Dem party created the sample...

They just thought Bernie's name on the sample ballot might give the wrong impression.

[restorefreedom]

22. it was a sample ballot

but many people use that as a practice ballot, so any inaccuracies, like someone being missing, could mislead people as to what their choices really are

[JackRiddler]

23. Nobody did that here.

The behavior of the Cook County Democratic Party is unscrupulous, however.
