The rules are arbitrary anyway

We are talking about independents who lean left on the issues but aren't touched by Chula style Democrats

That's the voting block that would have won dems the election

Again more excuses, If they wanted to supported Bernie they would have learned about the process to register in time. He announced his run for Democratic nomination back on April 30, 2015. Don't tell me they didn't have enough time.

It was a learning experience for myself as well. I wasn't allowed to vote in the primaries because I'm not a registered Democrat but the party that I'm in generally votes down the Democrat line. I thought I would still be able to vote in the primaries but I wasn't able to.

We're talking about the independent from goddamn Vermont

Yeah but the internet and social media made it seem like everybody knew him and wanted him so that's not even remotely true about nobody knowing him. Also all the memes he had. come on now.

Or I guess you can talk like a Republican and blame the individual

I agree that it does need some looking into but even if it does get fixed. People still need to make themselves aware if they want to vote. What's the point of fixing it and then people not going through with learning about it? It doesn't fix the end problem.

Or you can continue to talk like a Democrat and blame everyone else but yourself and not take some responsibility.

They were allowed if they looked into and even cared about voting for him. They waited til Primary day to find out that they couldn't.

And like I explained these were voters who couldn't give a **** about the Democratic party so why would they be registered dems prior to knowing someone worth it could win

You are basically saying that Bernie supporters didn't support Bernie until they saw that he had a possible chance of winning.

So they didn't really give a **** about Bernie or his policies then.

I think you quoted the wrong post.

I'm a communist but I couldn't tell you the name of the communist parties candidate in the US this year because he/she didn't have a chance

That's not even remotely the same. It's not like he was running for some tiny party like the constitution party.

Connect the dots people.

1. Trump's debt load has grown dramatically over the last year, from $350 million to $630 million. At the same time, he’s been blackballed by all major US banks.

2. Post-bankruptcy, Trump has become highly reliant on money from Russia -- most of which has over the years become increasingly concentrated among oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin.

3. Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager and top advisor, spent most of the last decade as top campaign and communications advisor to Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian Ukrainian Prime Minister and then President whose ouster in 2014 led to the on-going crisis and proxy war in Ukraine. Yanukovych was and remains a close ally of Putin.

4. Trump's foreign policy advisor on Russia and Europe is Carter Page, a man whose entire professional career has revolved around investments in Russia and who has deep and continuing financial and employment ties to Gazprom, which, in turn, is part of Putin’s financial empire.

5. Over the course of the last year, Putin has aligned all Russian state controlled media behind Trump.

6. The Trump Camp was totally indifferent to the Republican Party platform, with one exception: They changed the party platform to eliminate assistance to Ukraine against Russian military operations in eastern Ukraine. Not incidentally, this is the single most important issue to Putin.

7. Trump is also suggesting the US and thus NATO might not come to the defense of NATO member states in the Baltics in the case of a Russian invasion -- another important issue to Putin.
