Clinton vs. Rubio vs. Trump with millions of Sanders write-ins? This could be a hell of an election.

Iām really conflicted at this point. It feels good to think Iāll write-in Bernie Sanders to spite the scumbags at the DNC. However, after some reflection, I think Iāll still vote for Clinton (if she wins against Sanders) unless thereās enough evidence to show that Bernie Sanders can win the general election with collective write-ins.
One thing is for certain, I despise the DNC right now and I will be putting even more effort into getting Bernie Sanders elected. I will also be telling everyone I know to put Debbie Wasserman on notice that she needs to denounce the voter file decision and reverse it NOW.
That said, Debbie Wasserman also needs to step down as chair of the DNC. She has been a miserable failure and nothing more than a lackey for the Clinton campaign. The rigged debate schedules was bad enough, but now sheās led the DNC into utter turmoil. The treasonous corporatists may be very pleased by this DNC unfurling in Hillaryās favor, however, patriotic Americans are thinking very, very fucking differently right now.
This shit is about to explode.

I know, if I were in a position to make that decision I would probably do the same. In the four-way race scenario, by far the most likely outcome is still Clinton or [GOP candidate] and you donāt want it to be the latter. This voter file fiasco seems completely baffling to me. Itās like I canāt convince myself Iām reading this right because itās just too blatantly corrupt. I guess party leadership basically thinks they can literally do anything they want, but youād think they could look across the aisle and see Republicans getting primaried by the Tea Party and think, āHey, this is what is going to happen over here too if we donāt listen to our voters.ā

The Sanders campaign is coming out swinging hard at least.

On the plus side, the DNC is exposing itself for what it truly is ā a corporatist front organization that needs to be completely reformed and/or replaced.

How Both Parties Shut Out Anti-Corruption Candidates
As much as Iāve liked some of what Lessig had to say, his candidacy was too gimmicky to take seriously. But still, another example of undemocratic dirty pool by the DNC.

Sounds like Sanders is getting access back quickly.
Damage limitation? Did Clinton tell DWS to back off? Too easy for Sanders to spin this as bias against him?
The whole thing seems stupid to me. Utter clusterfuck.

Yep. This is a complete ācluster fuckā, āshit showā, or whatever the kids are calling it these days. I canāt even imagine what weāre going to hear in the debate tomorrow.

Sandersā folks insist they accessed no Clinton data and weāre just trying to help the DNC patch a firewall hole, and are being punished for it.
The DNC and Clinton seem to be able to point to the specific data the Sanders team accessed & saved: info about voters & donors in Iowa.
I donated to Sanders, but Iām unsure whoās telling the truth here.
That was Friday night.
Of course Saturday AM and the news headlines are still about the system failure described as a hacking which it was not.

How would Clnton know which information was accessed unless the DBAās at the DNC told her by looking at the audit trail? Well nobody knows how that stupid database was set up, even the DNC; it is all extremely ridiculous and TRUMPed up. Had to throw that in there.

Holy Hell the ABC stream tonight is the worst lagging and looping thing Iāve seen in forever.
And they canāt blame the traffic because most muricans are out shopping or seeing Star Wars.
Any good links to watch online?

I know! We tried abc with two separate laptops and are using a Roku box now. We watched almost as many commercials from abc on the laptops as debate. On Roku, abc is still lagging constantly.

I want to believe that Senator Sandersā populist message is resonating with others. I just donāt run into any passionate HRC supporters in everyday life like I do for those that are feeling the Bern.

The company thatās worked for Clintonās campaign opened up a firewall that allowed access across campaigns several months ago.
This is the same company that is deeply tied to Hillaryās earlier campaign and the same DNC that has colluded with Clinton to rig the debate schedules in her favor.
Sandersā campaign complained to the DNC about the breach and also noted that there was evidence other campaigns (perhaps Clintonās) accessed the files of the Sanders campaign.
Nothing was done about it. The DNC basically blew it off. Just didnāt seem to matter when the breach was against Sanders.
Now the same company with clear conflicts of interest with Hillaryās campaign and the chair of the DNC opens the firewall yet again.
This time the Bernie Sanders campaign found that there was some inappropriate access and fired the staffer responsible.
The DNC siezes this moment to attack Bernie and attempt to neuter his entire campaign.
The heat of a thousand suns decends upon the DNC from Bernie supporters and activists from all across this nation.
DNC realizes they done goofed and backs off from yet another plot to harm a progressive campaign against the corporatist interests theyāre trying to protect and keep in place.
They really, really hope in all the hub bub you donāt notice that despite skewed polls and a hostile, complicit media that says Bernie canāt winā¦
Bernie wins a LANDSLIDE against Hillary when thereās a widespread, nationwide vote among Democrats instead of a reliance on landline-heavy, skewed polls and a punditry machine that attempts to beat it in all our heads that Hillary is vastly ahead of Bernie and thereās no hope.
Thier bullshit has now been exposed for all who bother to look closer at the evidence.

No wonder Sanders was an independent for so long. Who wants to constantly deal with a bunch of liars?
