Jonathan Chait: “The system isn’t rigged. Clinton is going to win the nomination because she has won far more votes. She currently leads with 55 percent of the total vote to 43 percent. That’s fairly close for a primary, but it’s not Bush-versus-Gore close. It’s not even Bush-versus-Dukakis close (the 1988 election, widely seen as a landslide, was settled by less than 8 percent).”

“Clinton’s lead in pledged delegates is proportionally smaller than her lead in total votes because Sanders has benefited from low-turnout caucuses. Yet Sanders has enjoyed astonishing success at framing his narrative of the primary as a contest that, in some form or fashion, has been stolen from its rightful winner. His version of events has bled into the popular culture and fueled disillusionment among his supporters.”

This movement is real, and based on the REALITY that regular citizens are getting royally screwed ..

Those people cannot rely on you ... You live in a fantasy world where corporatists 'help' the middle class by denying decent wages, health care and education because it's too hard' ...

I've kept you out of the ignore bin for some stupid reason .. that is done ....

We will go our different ways from now on ...
