So all the nominees can suck money out of their supporters and then turn it over to the DNC when the Queen is coronated...

But I always thought he ran as a Democrat because he didn't stand a chance as an Independent and needed the party to compete for media attention, etc. Now we are hearing how he didn't stand a chance as a Democrat and the party cheated him out of the nomination.
If he had run as an Independent and focused on gathering the signatures, etc. to get his name on the ballot...
So, was it his message or running as a Democrat that earned him so many supporters?
I am so confused on the story with Bernie running as a Democrat and why and what was to gain.....
...and why on earth he still supports the DNC.
It's a tangled web of *whatever,* IMO. I still don't trust Bernie. Somehow he was trapped into running as a Democrat. They probably had something on him. That's how the world of political corruption keeps spinning.

Has it really got to the point that people can't see such blatant corruption for what it is?
Absolutely it has, just look around here and on the MSM.
People are to busy blaming the 'other' party and concentrating on the issues of the 'other' party instead of holding their own party accountable.
The crazy thing is that a democrats can never influence the GOP and vice versa , they can only influence their own party. Hence the cycle continues and keeps getting worse.
That is an interesting point you made at the end; that one 'in' group can never really effect the other 'out' group, only themselves... is that not true also for individuals? Yet still we seek to change in other people what would be best changed in ourselves.
If only people would stop to look around and realise that it is ALL of us that are having our pants pulled down by ALL of them (whichever side of the sea or, party line, you're on).
Then we would be empowered to change OURSELVES; our own expectations, what we are willing to tolerate and where we perosnally draw the line.
The day we manage that will be a monumental day of change. REAL hope and REAL change.. not the phony # those guys are pedalling...

Well, the fact is that I HAVE been confused about why Bernie ran as a Democrat and did think he ran to get more support and exposure from the party.
Geez.
ETA: If you have any evidenced facts that dispute my thinking and clear up my confusion...please post them. Otherwise, I assume you can't offer anything more than I have and you just want me to have a really great day.

ETA2: And that's always been the thing with Bernie supporters. When it's convenient for them, he is an independent. When it's convenient for them, he is a loyal Democrat that played nice to make sure the party won even if he wasn't the nominee.
That has never convinced me that Bernie is really an independent. It has convinced me he is a very-loyal Democrat, Hillary-lapdog, and an independent-poser for convenience sake.

assume = to make an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'. ... Coining up a foolish, humorous insinuation about somebody or something that is probably not valid.

Not gonna lie, these revelations confirm a lot of what I've heard and it's infuriating.
That doesn't mean I'm going to jump ship and start voting for the GOP though.

Is that all you have is clichés?
Read what I wrote: I said, post your evidence to the contrary of my thinking and to clear up my confusion...otherwise I assume you don't have anything more than me to offer.
Imma assume. I feel real good about it, too.
