Bernie Sanders Supporters Robbed in Nevada – Samantha Bee

Bernie Sanders Supporters Robbed in Nevada - Samantha Bee

Bernie Sanders supporters took their screamy, incoherent message to the Nevada Democratic Convention, and found out that they are being persecuted, it’s just not fair and they couldn’t even park! Some Bernie supporters feel they were robbed in Nevada, because of the arcane rules of the party; but rioting and, sending death threats to party officers might not be the most efficient way to change the system.  A “donnybrook” reportedly broke out, when delegates failed to show up and push Bernie ahead of Hillary. Sam translates, a donnybrook is the equivalent of a riot, but with white people throwing the chairs.

“It took like an hour to find a parking place” according to one caucus-goer who arrived too late to vote. Samantha isn’t unsympathetic to frustrated Bernie Sanders supporters. She is merely trying to point out that until the system is changed, some formalities must be observed…Like showing up.  If you feel you were robbed, perhaps you’ll like to join with John Oliver, in sending a message to the party chairs on February 2nd.

As Sam points out, the futility of backing an  upstart Senator trying to build a grassroots campaign, is crushing. If it feels like you just can’t do it…Look back at the 2008 election…Maybe you just can!
