This was done to embarrass Sanders. Is the frustration with the party or CNN?

I have a hard time believing that liberals are okay with the corrupt takeover of their party by progressive totalitarians - especially in such a public way.

Even if outlets did cover it, it's not like the American left is all of sudden going to start holding their politicians accountable for anything.

Even if CNN wasn't caught rigging a primary debate and colluding with Hillary loyalists....they would never have covered it.

It seems like they don't really give a shite because, at this point the end result would have been the same. Hillary's basically as much of a socialist as Bernie, who, at the end of the day, would have been no less corporatist/totalitarian than her. They are two peas in a pod. It's just that there are a few die hard BernieBots and maybe the 3-4 remaining legitimate "moderate" democrats who don't want to admit it.

i dunno i think some of the Bernie Bros crowd rejected HRC

plus the whole "Bernie almost upset Hillary" angle requires some people holding HIllary to task

they're called BOBs (Bernie or Bust) on places like DU

Do real liberals not give a shite or are their concerns not being covered by the progressive media?

I don't know what you mean by "real liberals." I'm not being daft.

Let's put a number on it. What percentage of American leftists who were planning to vote in the 2016 election didn't vote for Hillary because of the way she and the DNC handled the primaries/Bernie?


My guess is less than 1%

Why would his supporters be upset when Bernie himself joined Team Clinton immediately, even before his arse healed from them fricking they gave him?

CNN's competitors should have pounced on the opportunity to make them look bad.
