    Bernie wants a revolution in the party. Hillary wants to keep the status quo keeping the power from the people.

    So yes, Bernie isn't the one on his knees trying to please the party.

    Both the Clinton and Sanders supporters are saying the same thing (albeit with a different message): "the party's over."

    Clinton: we have the #'s (and they're right)
    Sanders: some 'party' you've got here.

    I mean, there's two sides to it of course. Either you believe the party should have extra delegate votes that they can use to sway the election and politicians should be bought and paid for by corporations OR the people should own and choose our politicians. The former is just a method to reduce the control from the people and I don't see how people can be okay with it.

    I get that Sanders might not be as popular because people are scared of tax increases to help their further man. America has been raised on a "me first" attitude and it's going to be hard to break that.

    Isn't Hillary solidly ahead without the super delegates and also by the popular count?

    She definitely is, but Sanders is arguing that the process is corrupt and broken. He can't reconcile a broken process with a weak campaign. He could have gotten 12 million votes to Hillary's 10 million but instead the situation is reversed.

    He's arguing in effect that the Democratic Super Delegates should swing the election to him despite the will of the voters in the Democratic Primary. In the process he's almost guaranteeing a very contentious end to the campaign.

    His only real chance to get the nomination is if Hillary is indicted or seems very likely to be and she's seen as a damaged candidate.

    It'll be interesting to see if he has a wake up moment or if he just continues to bull ahead on the way to defeat. He's not a Democrat and so it's very possible that he'll try to take the party down at the end.

    I don't think anything in this election pisses me off more than Bernie Sanders. Hey,im gonna run around talking about racism ,meanwhile my whole legacy is keeping people enslaved to welfare. I would much rather have corrupted capitalism than empower George Soros misguided little do nothings.

    Found 2b: the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex

    I never trust one word definitions.

    What's your point? I never denied that definition exists, I simply stated this one does too which is contrary to what was stated. Sometimes a one word definition is best because it is so simple.
