On top of that, the deadline for registration passed before Bernie announced his run so that also counts as voter suppression.
huh? I'm asking if you was being sarcastic because hillary or bust did exist. Famously called "PUMA" (party unity my ass)?  |
Yes that's what they're saying. So that includes the young people that will likely vote Sanders. When they studied the whole group of purged voters, it became obviously Hillary was the one hurt by the purge.

How? That's the law. Hillary announced her candidacy after the deadlines too. Both her and Bernie did it in the same month. It's no one's fault those guys were uninterested in politics before the election. It's the
democratic primary after all.
And it's unfair to compare. Right now, only 50% of Bernie fans are voting for Hillary. In May 2008,
50% of Hillary supporters backed Obama. In
September 2008, 70% supported Obama before the DNC and 81% after the DNC. By the election, it was most likely way north of 90%. The two are not the same thing at all. Meanwhile you have a Washington Buster electoral voter refusing to respect the democracy and vote for Hillary. That's something Hillary backers never did. False equivalency
