They believe Clinton is stealing the election, their ridiculous end game is the ascension of Sanders as the candidate because they arrogantly believe he's the will of the people.

The problem is what topics you arbitrarily deem as only within the realm of trolls. This isn't a muslim ban, a lot of people think a flat tax is a good idea for honest, non-hateful reasons and I think they deserve an honest explanation about why it's a terrible policy.

It's more substantive than digging up BS from r/s4p and making fun of it every day.

Their endgame is that they truly believe that Bernie is the rightful candidate and will win the nomination, and that Hillary/DWS/DNC is stealing it. Also, there's the point to be made that it's not that Sanders' supporters have necessarily gotten more crazy, it's just that most of the reasonable ones have accepted that it's over. That leaves the crazies to be the only ones pushing his message

The Nevada Dems have been very antagonistic with Sanders since election day. No doubting what they are saying, but their tone seems very ammm, unnecessary.

I don't blame them. The kiddos are crying fraud and bias and all sort of garbage and it ended up being 100% their fault.

This is what happens when you let teenagers take control of your campaign.

We're getting just under half of that. Unless Trump does a Romney and says something stupid about Jeep. Then we're going to drown in ads again.

Here's a good writeup on the paradoxical negative effects from preschool. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/01/the-new-preschool-is-crushing-kids/419139/

A major evaluation of Tennessee’s publicly funded preschool system, published in September, found that although children who had attended preschool initially exhibited more “school readiness” skills when they entered kindergarten than did their non-preschool-attending peers, by the time they were in first grade their attitudes toward school were deteriorating. And by second grade they performed worse on tests measuring literacy, language, and math skills. The researchers told New York magazine that overreliance on direct instruction and repetitive, poorly structured pedagogy were likely culprits; children who’d been subjected to the same insipid tasks year after year after year were understandably losing their enthusiasm for learning.

Well, they are? They created the inequality context for Chavez to rise into power.

You may believe the skewed version of english-spoken, internet-using, electricity-covered people who got "hit" by the redistribution, but the fact remains that Chavez was democratically re-elected a couple of times.

Maduro is a dumbass, though.

He can't go a day without sounding like an idiot.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/05/trump-to-britain-i-am-the-opposite-of-stupid.html

"Number one, I'm not stupid, okay? I can tell you that right now — just the opposite," he assured the Good Morning Britain host. "Number two, in terms of divisive, I don't think I'm a divisive person. I'm a unifier; unlike our president now, I'm a unifier."

looks like we're not going to have a very good relationship," Trump said of U.K. prime minister David Cameron.

His relationship with London's newly elected Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, looks to be even worse. Khan has called Trump's statements about Muslims "ignorant," and pledged to help Hillary Clinton defeat the Donald in November.

"When he won I wished him well — now, I don't care about him," Trump said. "He doesn’t know me. Never met me. Doesn’t know what I’m all about ... They’re very rude statements, and frankly, tell him, I will remember those statements."

"I have many Muslim friends. They come over — not all of them, I have to say — I was with one the other day, one of the most successful men. He's Muslim. He said, 'Donald you have done us such a favor. You have brought out a problem that no one wants to talk about.'"

Apparently Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee, doesn’t care if she alienates Bernie followers. The Sanders campaign had been hoping for a significant role at the Democratic convention, but Wasserman Schultz has picked 75 members of the convention’s key committees -- rules, credentials and platform – and accepted only 3 of Bernie’s choices, failing to acknowledge the proportion of the vote Bernie has won in the primaries and caucuses. Negotiations with the DNC have failed to add any additional Bernie picks to any of the standing committees. Worse yet, she’s named as chairs Hillary backers known for their harsh criticism of Bernie (among them Barnie Frank, as co-chair of the influential Rules Committee).
This is insider politics run amok, at the very time and in the very election that insider politics is disdained – and at the very moment it’s vitally important to unite the Democratic Party. How Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the DNC be so obtuse?
What do you think?

But is Chavez rising to power a necessary result from inequality? Is what he did after?

I think this is the direct result of shit talking the DNC for the last 6 months. You can't spit in folks faces then expect them to roll out the red carpet.

It was posted way back when it first happened, and someone has no idea how conventions are usually planned and run. Futhermore, if Bernie wanted large representation at the convention rather than merely having his presence tolerated than he should have stopped calling the DNC and anyone that had the audacity to raise money to get Democrats elected to congress "corrupt". He's not entitled to anything given his behavior on these last legs of the process.

I also don't see how anyone can criticize the selection of Barnie Frank, he's a former member of Congress with actual accomplishments in legislation, unlike Bernie Sanders.

Are you kidding? There were riots at the caucus! The head of the Nevada DNC is getting death threats! What tone are you expecting people to take?

Like I'm honestly surprised by this. What would justify, in your view, people sounding irked with Bernie Sanders supporters if this didn't?

'I have nominated and the Democratic National Executive Committee have elected 25 members to each of the standing committees: rules, credentials and platform in January. They've been elected and that process is complete. The remaining membership of each of the standing committees has 167 additional members which are divided proportionally based on the statewide vote that each candidate has earned. So the overwhelming majority of the remaining members of the standing committee are made up of the candidates' - Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Barney Frank <3

You aren't 45% of the democrat base and I couldn't care less whether you vote in November.

So tired of the inflated sense of entitlement from you guys. No one likes sore losers.
