Media blackout of California Dem. Primary

[Byron Carter]

Mark my words, the media will not even cover California. Even if it's a landslide victory for Bernie Sanders.

FOX, CNN, MSNBC, etc. will completely ignore the voters of California.

Hillary will need about 50%, a tie with Bernie in New Jersey, and the media will do as they've done all along, and continue with Hillary's coronation. They'll add in the Super Delegates (who don't vote until late July), and then proceed to talk about the historic importance of having a first Female president.

It wouldn't shock me if you're right. But it also wouldn't shock me if you're wrong and everyone including media turned on Hillary at some point. She is so crooked and not well liked by people.

 

[ShoelessRye]

Hillary clinches pledged delegate majority as well if she gets 20% in Cali, and she's likely going to win close there (ie 51-49).

It's over. Bernie lost.

There are plenty in the media commenting on how close their race is in CA and how Sanders could win CA.
Also, the media knows Sanders is going all the way to the convention, so why would they stop covering the primaries? Most of the media may indeed be in the bag for Clinton but they realize Sanders continuing on is a big story and does them a disservice business wise to stop ignore it and let other media outlets continue with coverage.

Sanders v Clinton on the convention floor means more eyes and money for media outlets. The reporters might not like it but the people in charge are enjoying this.

 

[TheStruggle]

CNN and MSNBC are always going to do this. They will announce Clinton as the nominee and demonize Sanders and his supporters for not giving up.

I've previously marked TS words. Usually a lot of red ink is involved. As Riddle noted, the media is already covering the dem primary, but they could hardly be faulted for ignoring it when it wouldn't change the ultimate outcome of the race.

Would you like to place a wager on this occurring? There are plenty of escrow sites we can use for the contract.

It's a lot more realistic than i though 6 months ago.

 

[Bloodworth]

How is she even considered or even this far along is beyond crazy.

Nod to communism for understanding that you could never give the general dumb public something as powerful as voting.

So, are you confident enough in your position to make the bet? I understand if you're too poor to do so, we can make it a sig bet instead. Or are you just bullshitting around?

Maybe our society would have been better off if we only allowed Land Owners to vote?

I have to agree, I do find it kind of ridiculous that a drug addict on welfare, living in public housing, who dropped out of highschool gets a vote.

And it's not like there isn't a precedent for restricting votes - we don't allow felons to vote..

Agreed. For example, look at the rise of Donald Trump.

 

[Diamond Jim]

Sanders supporters can't accept the fact that their guy is won't be the nominee and Trump supporters just want to see disfunction on the left so they act like they care.

sander supporters are so salty

If you think I'm a Sanders supporter, you've got life fucked up. You also haven't been paying attention.

I do want fair, democratic elections though - and this is not it.

Whats unfair or undemocratic about it? The person with the most votes will win, and that's Hillary.

 

[Bloodworth]

Agreed. For example, look at the rise of Donald Trump.

Trump is the American citizens last home. Even illegal currently in jail for rape and murder to dwi and car accidents would have been prevented with a wall.
American citizens are getting attacked and losing jobs to people not even supposed to be here

There are so many anti Americans you have people voting just to mess up anything

Remember that when you try to tell them to vote Hilary in a couple of weeks

 

[snakedafunky]

I cant figure out how anyone can vote for that woman. I can see the appeal in both Sanders and Trump but Hilary?

She represents everything that is wrong with the political system. She has so many political scandals and a questionable donor history that would to ruin the career of 5 politicians. The only reason she is still somehow relevant is because of the Clinton machine.

And on top of all that she already proved she cant handle the job by voting for the Iraq war and being involved in the post Arab spring disaster. I keep hearing she has the most experience, but in her case that experience should disqualify her.

On top that she is incredible unlikable.
