I'm not sure how exactly the "Democratic Establishment" can force primary voters to vote one way or the other, but, as I've long predicted, the middle of the country isn't ready for Sanders, and Super Tuesday proved it.

This IS what it looks like when the establishment want to keep We The People enslaved!

First I will say that I am not a fan of @St-Sinner and have come very close to blocking his vitriol. I am a supporter of all the policies that Bernie is promoting - I am not a radical independent voter - although I once was... I marched against the Vietnam war, I supported Jimmy Carter, and once voted my conscience and helped Ralph Nader elect George Bush... as Will Rogers said "I am not a member of any organized political party - I am a Democrat." I once rejected the 2 party system - but that is what we have and I will support whomever my party puts on the ballet. Hell I would vote for Oprah... I simply believe Bernie is not electable - and that has nothing to do with my values. Hell Bernie simply does not have as much support as the Trumpers and that is a sad fact - I don't care what the polls say. In 2016 every poll said Hillary was a sure winner and look what happened... the Bernie Bros threw that election to Trump just like Nader did and they could easily do that again... There are way more Nascar Bubba Trumpers at the Taladega 500 then all of the Bernie rallies combined... then you have to add in all of the NRA gun nuts and the evangelical "right to life" crowd... I gave up on political opinion polls after 2016. The professional political strategists are not dumb - they will promote whomever can win for their party and they know that is not Bernie. Big Pharma and the Insurance industry owns congress and that is who would have to pass Bernie's agenda... and the BIG money will not support any Democrat running with Bernie leading the party... remember "You can't always get what you want, but you just might find that you get what you need."

Always spewing crap tovarich StSinner!!! But nobody listens to your trolling. Why don't you go back to sucking Putin's dick and leave?

This is the type of thing that will backfire like last election. Since I live here, look at Wisconsin. These are approximate numbers but close based on the Wiki Wisconsin Election results. In 2012, Obama won the state by 6% and 1% of the people voted independent. In 2016, 100,000 less people voted, independent votes were 7%, Trump won by less than 1%. If any of the pro Bernie voters feel the results of the DNC convention are rigged against him again, there is a good chance this scenario will be repeated.

FEEL THE BERN! Vote for Bernie Sanders.

For the purpose of critical thinking, it would be better to not refer to the logical fallacy -- instead use "raise the question"

Yeah, vote for Sanders thats what you can do to help.

Trump says the Deep State is out to get him and Bernie says the Establishment is out to get him. Are these the same people with just a different name?

The establishment wants the status quo so they are against Bernie. But the people want Bernie and they continue to fund his campaign with small donations while everyone else gets its money from rich people via PACs.

really doesn't matter at this point who runs against Trump, he is going to win 2020 election. all the dem's lean to much for me into to socialism which never works out well for any country.

I'm not a Demo, but I can understand the pros concern for the down ticket effect of a Sanders campaign. Not to mention he's not actually a Democrat.

There's a Bernie Sanders group. I say that first because #1 I prefer Professor Warren, and #2 there is no Stop Bernie movement.
