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.
Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States (1993-2001), has been publicly accused by several women of sexual misconduct. Juanita Broaddrick has accused Clinton of rape; Kathleen Willey has accused Clinton of groping her without consent; and Paula Jones accuses Clinton of sexually harassing her. No other woman has publicly accused Clinton of sexual assault or harassment, although there have been anonymous allegations. Other women have alleged adulterous affairs with Bill Clinton (e.g., Dolly Kyle, Gennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky). In addition, rumors of additional sexual misconduct have been publicized in tabloid magazines and on the Internet.
Of all the allegations made against him regarding his sexual history, Clinton has only admitted extramarital relationships with Monica Lewinsky and Gennifer Flowers. He denied having an affair with Dolly Kyle.

That man spent months telling us all about how Hillary is evil, corrupt, in bed with the big monopolies, and a spokesman for the oligarchs. Then he says he supports her for president, and we should too. This is conclusive proof to me that he does not walk his talk. I believe that is the definition of selling out.
BERNIE IS ASKING US TO ELECT A WOMAN HE PROVED IS CORRUPT AND UNFIT FOR OFFICE.
And I don't want to hear about how it's to oppose Trump. There is no difference between Trump and Hillary. He is in a position to know this better than any of us. There is a reason they call it POLITICAL THEATER.

There are many disillusioned with the Democratic party just as many are with the Republican party..
The DNC got caught red handed doing what establishment parties do.. The entire process in both parties is rotten to the core. I think many in the Democratic aisle recently had a harsh awakening..

They were blatant, in 2008, about their rigging and it made no difference that 18 million Hillary voters were pissed off.
Bernie's 13 million will do nothing to effectively fight the corruption. That is a guarantee. They will be ignored and the DNC will move right along without them and not give them a second thought. Then they will vote for Hillary in huge numbers in November.
It was clearly written long ago.

I'd like to think most of Bernie's supporters would be like me and not care what Hillary promised. As most of us supported Bernie because we were anti-corruption, and we see Hillary for the embodiment of corruption she is.
A promise from her, no matter how good, is worth about as much as a wooden nickle. In other words, nothing.

Not a good scene outside the DNC after Hillary clinched the nomination by a wide margin as expected.
Bernie Sanders supporters were loud most of Day 1 and Day 2.
After She got the nomination on the floor, many Sanders people flooded out and protested outside.
Quite a few arrests too.
This apparently is not going away as many are saying a "no vote" for Hillary in November.
Big controversy.
morphed
Mouths taped shut, Eyes wide open.
I think the anger is mostly from the fact that the DNC colluded against Sanders from the start of the campaigns last year.
Many individual people put money into the Bernie effort in vain as it turns out.
