In reply to the discussion: Nevada Democrats Screw Over Bernie Supporters [View all]kaleckim
(651 posts)like the English only lie, it isn't meant to be truthful. It's meant to paint a picture of him. It's also mean to divert attention away from the fact that the party was caught acting that horribly and had no defense. Notice that there is no defense of how un-democratically they acted in the days and hours leading into the incidents on stage, they are now 100% about diverting attention away from a conversation about that. If most of these people aren't paid to push this meme, they're most definitely led by those that are. So you get the chair throwing stuff with no proof, and the voice mails from people claiming to be Sanders supporters. Keep in mind too that these are the same people that invented the "Berniebros" thing (which was debunked by the Interceptor), and pushed the "English only" lie, among many other things. To accept all this stuff on face value would be irrational at this point. If actual evidence emerges, fine. Until that time, it's logical to question at least some of this nonsense and to acknowledge that it is clearly a diversion from what the party was caught doing. Thank god for the internet though, twenty years ago and they'd have gotten away with that without question.
