Dont think hillary has lost votes huh ? Seems sanders supporters arent getting over the screwing he got from Hillary and the Wassermans DNC

Ill bet that there are MANY that stay home and do not vote for hillary

Bernie Sanders loyalists protested inside and outside the Democratic National Convention site and clashed with police on Tuesday after Hillary Clinton won the party's presidential nomination. Despite Sanders' calls for them to support Clinton, thousands of activists have taken to the streets during the convention this week to voice support for the liberal Vermont U.S. senator and his progressive agenda.
Moments after Clinton became the first woman to be nominated for president by a major U.S. political party, a large group of Sanders delegates and supporters exited the Philadelphia convention site to hold a sit-in inside a media tent. Some had their mouths taped shut. A few spontaneously sang the chorus of the folk song "This Land is Your Land," and a banner read "we the people." They said they were holding a peaceful protest to complain about being shut out by the Democratic Party.

"This was not a convention. This was a four-day Hillary party. And we weren't welcome," said Liz Maratea, a New Jersey delegate at the media tent protest. "We were treated like lepers."

In the streets outside, Sanders supporters who had spent the day protesting began facing off with police. Protesters began scaling 8-foot walls blocking off the secure zone around the arena parking lot, and several were detained. An officer sprayed one of the protesters.
The protests continued into the night with Sanders supporters and anti-police brutality protesters joining together. They marched in the street outside of the Wells Fargo Center. Later, someone set an Israeli flag on fire while people chanted "long live the intifada."
Others then came together for a candlelight vigil.
Unmoved by Sanders' plea for party unity, the Bernie or Bust protesters walked miles in the stifling heat again Tuesday to make their case for him. They held a midday rally at City Hall, then made their way down Broad Street to the convention site. By early evening, a large crowd had formed outside the subway station closest to the arena.
"We all have this unrealistic dream that democracy is alive in America," said Debra Dilks, of Boonville, Missouri, who said she wasn't sure she'll vote in November. "Hillary didn't get the nomination. The nomination was stolen."
The crowd consisted of an assortment of protesters espousing a variety of causes, but mostly Sanders supporters and other Clinton foes on the left. College student Cory James said he expects the Democratic Party to split over the nomination.
"I suspect we are witnessing an event that will fundamentally change American politics," said James, of Flint, Michigan.
Earlier in the day, participants at the rally charged that Sanders was cheated out of the nomination, and they said they weren't swayed by his Monday plea to his supporters to fall in line behind Clinton for the good of the country.
"He persuaded no one to vote for Hillary," said Greg Gregg, a retired nurse from Salem, Oregon, who intends to cast his ballot in November for Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
The longstanding bitterness between Sanders' supporters and Clinton's seemed to grow worse over the past few days after a trove of hacked emails showed that officials at the Democratic National Committee played favorites during the primaries and worked to undermine Sanders' campaign.
Black Men for Bernie founder Bruce Carter said Monday's speeches from Sanders and Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren didn't persuade him to support Clinton.
"They really agitate people more every time they stand up and do the Hillary Clinton hoo-rah hoo-rah," he said.
Carter, a Dallas resident, said he doesn't fear a Republican Donald Trump presidency.

His supporters know now he is just another political sellout. He talks to them, but it is just talk in order to dupe them into voting for him.

And now, the Democratic Party has made history; they nominated the first woman who is a sociopathic lying, inept, incompetent and unaccomplished partisan hack.

All this BS is too boring, Hillary will be the next president and like President Obama a great president. The agitprop of the right keeps them hating and looking in the wrong direction, so it goes.

"Yep. (We just won’t build Mount Rushmores anymore.) In so many ways, Obama was better than we imagined, better than the body politic deserved, and far, far better than his enemies will ever concede, but the great thing about being great is that the verdict of enemies doesn’t matter." Jim Nelson

Why so upset? Super Delegates? California? DNC openly trying to get Hiliary nominated as opposed to a operating a fair process where they're voters wishes actually matter?
All democrats should be upset, even those who were Hilary fans from the start, at the way their own party set out from day one to negate the voters will.

In the primaries, the voters' will was 2 million+ votes more for Hillary. So, tell us about the voters' will.

Says the rank partisan hack leftist who just got gone posting agitprop nonsense about an anti-Trump GOP convention goer who "felt threatened".

Obama sucks, and if you had even a shred of moral honesty, you'd know he's central to the reason that we've been poisoned with the worst racial division we've experienced since 1963.

The question is: Were they truly Sanders' supporters to begin with given the NEWS about Russia and their strange liaisons. The proliferation of Pro-Trump information coming from Russia and against Hillary Clinton has to be taken well into account at this point. We are beginning to see what's really happening here.
