Tom Perez elected chair of the Democratic party

Trump:

The race for DNC Chairman was, of course, totally ‘rigged.’ Bernie’s guy, like Bernie himself, never had a chance. Clinton demanded Perez!” Trump tweeted.

There he is, employing his usual "rigged" rhetoric in an attempt to divide democrats. I see many democrats in this thread doing the exact same thing. Fools.

I wonder why they would think the dnc would ever rig anything in the first place?

I saw the actual tweets, thanks, and I have to say that reputable, long-standing media institutions like CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and NYT are simply not "fake news" under any definition of that term.

They should be reclassified as well produced, digital op-ed/mostly good on the truthyness outlets. They should not try to position themselves as the "free press" or mandated by the 1st amendment so you can't question us. After the revelations from the election, they seemed to have sold out and are no longer "free".

Why would anybody who's not well propagandized?

3.7M votes & a 12% spread aren't things that can be rigged no matter how hard you troll it.

This makes zero sense. You do understand that there are no qualifiers in the 1st amendment with regards to freedom of the press, right? Which is why blatantly untruthful rags like Breitbart and the National Enquirer publish freely?

So far as I know, this vote rigging nonsense started with Ron Paul's followers in 2012. It seems to have spread like wild fire. A dangerous form of mass insanity.

The DNC didn't rig the vote. Quit concern trolling.

No they didn't. Nor has anyone else. Then again I see Tom Perez talking about Russia "rigging the election." He's talking about their hacking of the DNC and Podesta, not voting machines, but on the surface it sounds like he's making the same type of "rigging" claims as Trump. It's irresponsible for him to frame it that way.

This just needs to stop.

Right, when you bring on your uuge broom:

It's that corruption of power thingi. You're telling me that no jobs were lost about what was revealed in the E-Mails over the Sanders event? They were fired, what, for fun? People abused their power to favor the wrong candidate, a candidate who, guess what, lost. If you voted Clinton in the primaries you helped Trump get elected. Decades and billions spent to destroy her reputation and you claim Sanders would have fallen in a month. She still won the majority of the vote for Christ's sake and she had the wrong message. Trump took the angry working class that Sander's message would have appealed to. You guys continue to live in your liberal brain defects. Politics is about feelings and feelings respond to a message of hope and vision. Clinton's vision, the one I got, was I want to be President.

Didn't we just get through having this very discussion in another thread? I disagree with everything you're saying, and I stated why I disagree already. No need to reprise a discussion we already had:

And it's off topic. I'm talking about the prevalence of accusations that voting is rigged in our elections. This is a very serious issue and you keep changing the subject. Not getting drawn into another inane, hindsight discussion about which democrats are really to blame for this outcome. Democracy is under attack here and you're more concerned about blaming Clinton voters for a Trump victory.

If I'm the one who's hysterical and unhinged, then why are you the one resorting to extremist rhetoric in your posts?
Anyway, your logic is as faulty as always. I condemned Obama for those actions then, just like I'm condemning Trump now. Two wrongs just don't make a right, but I'm sure you'll keep trying.

You specifically said "Trump is waging an all-out war against the 1st amendment in order to silence his critics", and I'm the one resorting to "extremist rhetoric"?

I asked you to back up your contention of an "all out war against the 1st amendment" and all you can muster up is a comment from the president -- wait wait, it was actually repeated two or three times!! Now you act all put out because you're unable to come up with anything to justify your own statement.

You and your ilk have become so unhinged from reality that you can't even see past your own hysteria and delusions anymore.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if that were the case. Sadly, however, of course for the nation, the dangers that Vic sees in Trump justify the use of strong language. Even George Bush is condemning Trump as extremist. Try to understand what we lose if we lose a free press. Too many of you idiots on the right are almost there, burying your heads in Fox Altered Reality News, some of whose player's are also on Trump about his attacks on the media. Try not to be of the most brain dead on the right.

What you are doing is changing the subject from how the primary was rigged to how the vote count wasn't. It's a big issue when people believe that without factual evidence of which I nor any thinking person I know does, but it's an issue also when the shit that people got fired for is swept under the rug on the pretext that we democrats have to be united. When sailing on ships, keep an eye open for what the rats do. They may know something you don't.
