DNC need to release all delegates and allow a fair election from the floor. The system was rigged against Bernie. Let's show true democratic spirt and do the right thing.
DWS should be immediately fired.

Follow the instructions provided and you're directed to a site that appears to think that Bernie's still got a chance at being nominated.

No, I'm not kidding. (I guess the primary continues, but I remain hopeful that after the convention is over, we'll see things begin to calm down.)

The #MarchForBernieUSA goal is to demonstrate unwavering support to elect Senator Bernie Sanders the next President of the United States. Unified across America, on Sunday, July 24th, supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders will march in Solidarity in over 62 cities, to tell the Democratic Party that we are all #StillSanders, and we still support making Senator Sanders our next President! As the DNC Convention opens in Philadelphia, America’s progressive voters will march as one, in praise of Bernie and the exciting political revolutionary movement he has sparked, as we usher his political legacy into the public square.

...."The nationwide set of marches is called #MarchforBernieUSA. In Montpelier, the march will be a chance to thank Sanders for his presidential run, Joyal said.

"Really what we want to say is that we thank Bernie for doing this for the country, and bringing a lot of his platforms to light," Joyal said.

The event also is meant to encourage people to get involved in local politics, Joyal said."


I see absolutely nothing wrong with this... what's the beef?

... things like this:

and we still support making Senator Sanders our next President!

... just ain't gonna happen. That ship has sailed. The train has left the station. It looks like a poutfest that really does nothing other than reinforce ill-will and a sense of victimhood.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this... what's the beef?

Of course you wouldn't.

... about a vat of wine standing next to a vat of sewage. Add a cup of wine to the sewage, and it is still sewage. But add a cup of sewage to the wine, and it is no longer wine but sewage.

This "celebratory" group could have accomplished much more positive things without the need to deny reality, without encouraging victimhood, and without the sour grapes.

Bernie has said that he endorses and supports Hillary, yet there are a few hangers-on that want to foment discontent.

Why? What do they hope to accomplish with this fantasy protest march?

And then these individuals (and groups) wonder why it is that they are viewed with such contempt and are on the receiving end of condescending comments and criticism.

Go figure.

When 75% of Clinton supporters (including myself and 4 million more people than Sanders supporters) decide to stay home after you and the rest of your brethren rip our nominee out from under us.
