Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Looks like a lot of people don’t agree with your gaslighting.
Clinton did not “cRuSh sAnDerS”
The DNC (Debbie Wasserman Schultz), Barbara Boxer, Donna Brazile and others) did.
Also the nefarious “counting and reporting” on sUpeRdELeGaTes before their votes had even been cast— thus trying to manipulate the public. It really left a very foul taste and I remember it well.
This is like going onto The_Donald and pointing out that he is a convicted rapist, and a fraud who tried to steal an election. . .and when inevitably when you get tons of downvotes someone saying "Looks like a lot of people don’t agree with your gaslighting." lol
She won by 12 percentage points in the popular vote. Removing super delegates, she won 57% of the delegates.
It was never in doubt. She was the overwhelming favorite, right from the start. This didn't stop me from holding out hope, BTW.
You might be upset with how it was run (or how it was reported? Which is funny because the media made it look like Sanders had a much better chance than he had. Remember, an actual race is more interesting than a blowout), but the simple fact is that Clinton was just a far more popular candidate than Sanders. Neither us thinks it should be the case, but that's the general democrat voter. It's time to move on and accept the facts, instead of posting in alternating caps as if that makes the facts go away.
I reject your gaslighting.
You are rejecting the facts. What you are doing is showing what people do when they are dealing with the cognitive dissonance of pretending that Republicans are dumb for ignoring the evidence and believing the election was fraudulent, while trying to simultaneously ignoring the evidence that the 2016 nomination was rigged and that Clinton didn't crush Sanders.
But, don't worry, just like Trump supporters, you're too far gone at this point and thus are impenetrable to facts. So I don't expect you to come around. I'm just posting this so any other person who comes along will realize that your position doesn't come from a place of rational thought.
>So I don’t expect you to come around. I’m just posting this so any other person who comes along will realize that your position doesn’t come from a place of rational thought.
any intellectually honest user who reads this thread can only conclude that the nomination was rigged.
“The election was rigged!”
Who do we all know that also says this when they lose?
Rachel maddow? Keith olberman? Hillary Clinton?
*your version
There is documentary video evidence of what Barbara Boxer did.
Stop gaslighting.
Because someone posts factual information you disagree with- it does not become gaslighting just because you want it to.
Look up what gaslighting means. Then stop using it incorrectly in debates. It makes you look foolish.
The person you’re arguing with is not wrong. And that’s not an opinion. It’s factual information that reality supports.
