Can't tell how formal this poll is but it says in a four way match up with Clinton/Trump/Jonson/Sanders, Sanders gets 18 points, which would grant him a spot on the general debate stage, which has a 15% threshold. Johnson doesn't break threshold. Stein in place of Bernie only gets 4%.

Seems Sanders was right on Malloy. Originally I thought he was just another indistinguishable establishment dem, turns out he's giving Frank a run for his money in terms of being a scumbag. In case anyone forgot, Malloy and Frank are co-chairs of the rules committee for the democratic convention. Sirota is digging deep on the merger's connection to Malloy and he just keeps pulling up nasty poo poo.

Scumbag is a slur

The next Amendment should be something that makes election standards and procedures set up Federally, because this whole thing is a stupid mess. I've never had issues voting here in NYS. You know why? Because you fill in a form, and then a computer scans it, and the form is saved. So you get the votes in, and then if anything is contested, you can check it out manually. No stupid touch screen bullshit or anything like that, clear paper trail. Why isn't it like that all over the country?

So well connected people can steal elections

I don't know, is there polling stating that most Democratic voters prefer Sanders over Clinton? Because regardless of all the errors, technical mishaps, and supposing even downright fraud, if most Democrats want Clinton, and Clinton wins, then I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I'd be more concerned with down-ticket primary races and overall effect on attendance of primaries, period.

No polling to that effect other than some of the released exit polling. Down ticket outcomes aren't so important when the head of state is a loyalty-valuing poo poo-list-keeping hyper-competent technocrat and vanguard of global corporatist hegemony

so do you think hillary systematically stole the elections and only kentucky was brave enough to stand up to her tyranny

No I actually don't really think Hillary Clinton herself had much to do with it but rather many interested parties doing what they always do and tipping the scales by various fraudulent electoral practices

There are lawsuits filed all over the drat place that are probably in different phases of moving forward. The Pike county affair I was referencing because it happened just today and is actually progressing forward quickly and isn't something you can just hand wave away though you are trying desperately to do just that

Sounds like this didn't really work for this fellow. Where is the evidence that he was working specifically for Clinton's camp?

I am asserted that there was widespread electoral fraud and that there is a lawsuit being submitted addressing that. Everything I've said tonight is in response to all the usual suspects coming in and dismissing the notion that any fraud even occurred at all and any claims to that effect are illegitimate.

What the hell no not everything is a drat conspiracy. This poo poo is explained pretty clearly in manufacturing consent. Powerful people protecting their interests is not a conspiracy. Also there are "leaks," they are the evidence of fraud. Voter fraud doesn't happen but election fraud actually occurs and pretending it's some crazy impossibility doesn't lend credence to your preposterous argument

He's rightly pointing out that your arguments sound like the kinds that Republicans bring up when they're promoting voter ID laws, which have been used to disenfranchise voters. Much like those "ooh Bernie won most of the counties, how come he didn't get most of the delegates" maps seem a lot like Republicans whining about why land doesn't get the same right as people because they (like Sanders in some states) did well in lower-density counties while Democrats (like Clinton in those same states) did better in the urban areas, which, well, have more Americans in them.

So you are literally taking moves out of the Republican playbook, but nice projection. :shrug:

What are those arguments, exactly? Which of arguments that I am making would rob someone of their vote or discount a vote they already cast?

Where have I argued that they would? I said you're using the same arguments used to disenfranchise voters (somebody was caught attempting election fraud, therefore election fraud is rampant and the result is illegal) to promote the notion that the elections have been stolen. Republicans suggest remedies which disenfranchise voters. I'm not sure what you would like to do to make sure elections won't be stolen in future; maybe your suggestions won't lead to election fraud. They are nevertheless based on misguided premises, and therefore are not convincing, so your suggestions will fall on deaf ears.

I am alleging that election fraud occurred because there is evidence of it. Many primary voters had their party identification changed and voter status changed without their knowledge. This even happened to me but I was observant enough to correct my registration before the deadline passed. Right one person has been indicted so far, but there are lawsuits all over the country seeking redress for election fraud that was committed. Furthermore there was other malfeasance in the primary process that might not fall under the technical jurisdiction of fraud such as polling location closures or mistraining polling staff to give out of provisional ballots upon the wrong conditions. That racketeering lawsuit is alleging that vote tampering occurred in many states but I haven't seen their evidence and am not really commenting on it.
