This happened. Get over it.

Why was an established anti-Hillary hater allowed to smear her on this site with an illegitimate garbage group that was formed only a few months ago? If you go to Election Justice USA’s website, you will find nothing on the officers of this group, nothing about their methodology, nothing about their funding. (Here, maybe you will have better luck: electionjusticeusa.org) What you will find is a whole section of them in the “news”, which consists entirely of their many frivolous lawsuits: some of the stories they link to are not kind and you wonder why they bothered.

They have a gmail account, and they ask for donations. The guy who posted the diary on them claims they did a “Study” that proves Bernie won. Interesting that even conspiracy-laden sites who hate Hillary, like Breitbart, don’t touch this “Study”. This paper is 99 pages long and filled with mumbo jumbo. If you google “Chewbacca defense”, you’ll understand their strategy. It’s to overwhelm you with legal/analytical mumbo jumbo. Legitimate studies don’t do that---nor do they have predetermined outcomes.

In my humble opinion, this group stinks to high heaven.

By every metric, Hillary won the nomination. She won the most states. She won millions of more votes. She won the most delegates: pledged and super, each. There weren’t armed gangs of Hillary supporters forcing people to vote for her or any other such conspiracy. Nor did Hillary have some sort of master control over all of the voting apparatuses in all of the states, nor did all of these Secretaries of States, of both parties apparently, conspire to help her cheat.

I appreciate Bernie’s entry into the race. He pushed Hillary to the left, and gave us a platform of Democratic socialist ideals. He made serious errors, however. He had a remarkable civil rights record that he almost refused to talk about and couldn’t get off his talking points about inequality. There are racial elements in our society that he didn’t address until he started falling in the polls. He had a lot of missed opportunities.

Yet, he started a movement that I hope will carry on. Bernie understands that he needs Hillary in office for this movement to move forward. Donald Trump with a GOP House, Senate, and SCOTUS will set back progressives 80 years. That’s why Bernie came out so strongly for Hillary and called for her nomination by acclamation. He is one class act.

I wish I could say that for some of his dead-enders who hurt everything he’s trying to do.
