Yup. Figured that would be the line of attack and I can see twitter going with this narrative as well. These Sanders supporters are only going to isolate themselves. LET them boo Michelle Obama. Twitter and the media will have a field day with it.

I don't know what the logistics are but they should get this shit sorted out before Warren, Sanders and Obama's speeches tonight. Those are the ones people will be watching. If they won't behave then kick them out.

don't they have a half-time reassess before going Prime Time?

Difficult time coming up with reasons huh? I give you credit for trying.
But that list is obviously not anywhere near enough reason for Sanders and his supporters behavior.
I'll buy the gas.

You guys are overreacting to things people don't care about.
Nobody whose vote will matter cares about this stuff.

sanders camp really can't control the idiots they put on the ballot.
Its sad. Sanders didn't help but these idiot behavior is on them and them alone. I get how you blame sanders but no this is on these childish idiots.

Mook is awesome.
I'd say his rhetoric is to blame a bit. You created a group that galvanized a man and not his ideology.
Don't care anymore. Fuck Sanders and his people. Zero respect for them. Interrupting Elijah Cummings was fucking disgraceful.
I'm not defending their reasons I'm trying to understand why they are so angry.
You aren't going to have a party as diverse as the democratic party without diverse viewpoints and opinions.

Now that's the kind of energy I want from Hillary folks
Yea the optics don't look good for the DNC so far right now. But what these people are doing are gaining them any new support. And them booing Cummings just turned off a lot of people I would assume. If they boo Michelle I promise you that's check mate for them and they are done.
i know being a detroit fan fucks up your world view, but man, i didn't think it would be so bad
They would look like massive hypocrites if they didn't boo Barrack though. He is the literal representation of TPP to the country, which they hate more than Trump.

They are still changing about TPP.

I shit on Jeff Weaver a lot during the primaries, but he's been fantastic the last 24-48 hours
When the realities of politics and governing kicked in they would have turned on Sanders in a heartbeat. They are the most cynical and unreliable voters around.
because he's in "what the fuck did i do" stage
Fuck Weaver. You don't get a cookie for acting like a responsible adult 2 days out of 100.

This is why we needed a closed primary. These people are not worth attracting to the party.
Frankly, I can't give a shit about Bernie or anyone that was on his campaign team. Trying to stop a raging house fire with a water gun at the eleventh hour, minutes after you finally decided it would be a good idea to stop using a flame thrower in the living room, is hardly something to be congratulated on.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Please tell me which point was wrong: when he polled way better than Trump or how it would have kept his supporters in line.

If he can't keep his insane supporters in line now... I think you need to take a break and go catch Pokemon or something
Fair enough, my underlying point is Sanders is probably most to blame for the current situation. Several of us have had this concern since he went negative, and were told that things got more ugly in the 2008 primary. People failed to realize the type of negative matters. His line of negative attacks went at the legitimacy of the election.
You said it was "how the DNC was run during the election".
Sanders was by far the primary creator of that perception, not the DNC.
The list of reasons you came up with, were not even the primary reasons brought up by the Sanders campaign.
A) The lack of candidates had nothing to do with the DNC. Most people decided they didn't feel like running what would be a losing campaign. Clinton was more qualified than she was 8 years ago and her campaign staff was better than it was 8 years ago.
B) The Democratic debates were never going to catch headlines like the Republican debates because at no points were there going to be 17 candidates and the shit-flinging was never going to get so bad. It's one thing to argue there should have been more debates or at different times but there is nothing to suggest they would have made a lick of difference.
C) Are you arguing its the DNC's fault they got hacked and that they deserved it? I'm not sure I follow.
D) There's a difference between differing ideas and petulant children who don't seem to get how politics work or even understand how half the systems they are complaining about work (free trade, banks, etc.). Again we are talking about the fringe.It's not much different than the far-right complaining about Mexicans and Muslims - they just want an easy target for their hate, they don't want to understand the actual source of their woes.
E) You've brought up same-sex marriage more than once. Why? That isn't an idea that Sanders supporters brought with them. That's something Democrats have been working on for a while. Sorry that politicians that have been at this for decades had to navigate an anti-SS marriage electorate a few decades ago?
Holy fucking shit enough of this nonsense. Is this like "diabolising" to the 10th degree? Yes let's give it to the man who has never been seriously vetted, ran an inferior campaign, has a more myopic campaign message, has less experience building coalitions, failed to engage many key Democratic voting blocks, can't answer FP questions worth a damn most of the time, etc.
All the skeletons in his closet would have killed him. Sierra Blanca alone would have destroyed him.
