That's funny, I was listening to right-wing talk radio for the salt on the way home and they were all saying "We have a rigged system" and using the Bernie bro language, twice they even explicitly mentioned Hillary stealing the primary from "poor Bernie Sanders" as one of their examples of her corruption and the "rigged system."

Remember when I made that thread about how the right wing was using Bernie Bro talking points to try to be a new home for their Hillary hatred, and everyone mocked me?

I don't know why any reasonable non-red hack avatar would mock you there. It's common sense that Trump is attempting to create a bridge to the Bernie Bros. Using the rhetoric that system is "rigged" does just that.

The objection wasn't to argue that this isn't what Trump is opportunistically trying to do, the objection was the assertion Bernie deserves to shoulder significant blame for it:

Actually, Elizabeth Warren and even Hillary herself (whose announcement commercial eons ago talked about a system "where the deck is stacked against middle class families") have been using this language long before Sanders entered the race/became famous, because... it's an accurate depiction of the current American political system, as common sense and academic research will tell you.

But of course, as we all know, you interpret everything through your lens of delusional animus toward Sanders, where everything is his fault and everything he says is insane.

In episode XLVIII, Trump uses Bernie's language of "rigged system" to talk about trade in New Hampshire.  It seems like every day there's another instance of the GOP and Trump explicitly trying to make up their gap with Clinton but targeting disaffected Sanders voters and basically using the same conspiracy theories and complaints that Bernie drilled into the heads of his supporters.  He needs to hurry up and endorse before it's too late.

Actually, as was discussed in a thread earlier this week, Sanders' supporters are consolidating behind Hillary faster than the PUMAs did in '08.  So Bernie does not really need to hurry up.  He already said that he plans to vote for Hillary, stopped attacking her, and encouraged his supporters to stop Trump.  Hillary likely won't lose because America isn't stupid and she's too smart, but if she does, it'll be her own fault for running a tone-deaf campaign.

There are simply some people who are too stupid to be reachable, and those people were never going to vote for Hillary, anyway.  Luckily, as polls show, that number was fairly small among Bernie supporters.  It's her responsibility to shred Trump's argument to persuade any others.

I would also add that it's worth repeating that Sanders publicly denounced Trump's transparently opportunistic, cheap characterization of the Democratic primary as "rigged" and said flatly that it wasn't rigged.

No, we were celebrating another defeat of yet another right-wing partisan driven witch hunt. The other former Secretaries of State and government officials who used private email would like a word with you. Yes, it feels good beating the Republicans at their own game.

Yes, feel good and celebrate that your candidate flat out lied to you and other voters about this issue, and actually did do something wrong. Celebrate that your candidate was "extremely careless" with classified information. Because that's clearly the kind of person who belongs in the White House.

It shouldn't have mattered that she didn't intend to violate laws, when using the "gross negligence" argument, intent absolutely does not matter. Are you going to start calling for folks that were put through the ringer for doing a whole lot less than Hillary did to have their names cleared?

But you know, let's paint Hillary as this perfect candidate who can never do wrong and is above the law "cuz 1st woman prez" and "not Trump".

Julian Assange may bury her yet.  Edward Snowden and Gen. Petraeus are definitely wondering WTF along the rest of us "silly" not-Hillbot Americans.  Only your subset of the Democratic party is defending her, others left, right, center and other all disagree.

1) Assange and Snowden are considered enemies of the state by Republicans.

2) Petraeus has endorsed Clinton.

Again, I'm not a Republican. These two are FFs of the highest degree in my book.  If Hillary didn't do it out of idiocy, senility, or idgaf and had the agenda to expose something that harmed the people of the US...but nope just wanted to access secure emails on her crackberry or whatever. Good job.

2) Petraeus has endorsed Clinton.
Googled...yes he did a couple years ago. Would like to hear from him now.

When all your remaining hope lies with a pasty weirdo who literally hasn't left a building in four years because the cops are waiting outside to arrest him for rape, you might just be grasping at straws at this point.
