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.
@lightweight @fitheach How can you think the world cares in the slightest about Hillary's email server & trust issues compared to having a #climate denier as head of state of one of the most important countries to fighting #climatechange?
@resist1984 @fitheach neither I nor the world care a bit about Clinton's email. We hate the US' interventionist moral ineptitude and general arrogance. She is a war monger and a corporatist. Those are precisely what the world needs least.
@fitheach @lightweight How could you possibly think Clinton would be interventionalist? Democrats are known for being less war mongering, spending less on defense, and a female one is less apt to push men into war. Democrats favor diplomacy over war.
@resist1984 @fitheach I think you'll find that military industrial spending has consistently gone up every term, regardless of which of the duopoly parties the sitting president claims to represent. Both are deeply and irretrievably corrupt and invested in the ever increasing inequity in the US.
