The DNC clearly doesn't want voters to nominate Bernie Sanders. Maybe the problem isn't Sanders. Maybe the problem is the DNC. Maybe they need a reboot. The whole US federal government and partisan organisations need to remember that they exist for the voters, not the other way around.

This seems to be no different from last time, except it was Clinton not Biden.
@fitheach I'd never vote for Trump personally, because I demand a leader with integrity, honour, grace, and intelligence. And I also couldn't bring myself to vote for Clinton.
@lightweight @fitheach not voting is a vote for #republicans. Hopefully enough of the population has come to understand that protest votes inflict self-harm, after #Brexit & #election2016 in the US.
@resist1984 @fitheach I voted, but not for either of the oligarchy candidates. Strategic voting signifies a badly broken democracy. I intensely dislike the US duopoly and will work hard to break it. I think a Clinton presidency would've been almost as bad as Trump for the world. And that's saying something, given the unmitigated disaster of the #Drumpfsterfire. But the world needs the US to completely wash out its federal gov't. I think only Bernie has a chance of doing that.
@fitheach @lightweight the world doesn't like trade wars either.
@resist1984 @fitheach the *only* good thing that Trump did was to snub the #TPPA - true, he did it for all the wrong reasons, but it was the right thing to do (even a stopped clock is right twice a day). We need to tear down US multinational corporation, not hand them control of international trade overriding national sovereignty (which is what #TTIP and #TPPA exist to do).
