Liberal democats, AKA the eternal victims

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

These babies are still whining about the 2000 election result? My God people get a grip. It must really suck to be a liberal and go around pissed off all the time. They stay pissed even when their guy is in the WH!

Of course the continued belief in the myth that Al Gore really won the election allows them to feel justified when they engage is dubious voting activities from here on out.

===================================

A New Generation of Bitter Liberals
Noah Rothman / Feb. 3, 2016

Anyone who believes the 15-year-old wounds resulting from the Supreme Court’s decision in Bush v. Gore must have healed by now should ask a Broward County Democrat for their thoughts on the matter. Resentment among those who perceived themselves to be on the losing end of that decision lingers. The notion that former Vice President Al Gore won the popular vote and yet lost the presidency is perceived even today by partisan Democrats not only as (erroneously) anathema to the foundational precepts of American constitutional governance but a veritable crime. Forget the merits of the case, which decidedly favor the plaintiff. A pervasive sense of victimization continues to animate many a liberal Democrat. You would think a Clinton of all people would have internalized the lessons of 2000. Instead, the likely Democratic presidential nominee and the party she is vying to lead are sowing the seeds of similar discontent that might linger on for years.

Bernie Sanders lost the Iowa caucuses on Monday night to Hillary Clinton. At least, that is what you are expected to believe. The contest was so tight that the final results – Clinton’s 49.9 percent to Sanders’ 49.6 percent – may mean the difference between just a few hundred votes out of tens of thousands cast. As of Tuesday morning, votes from at least one precinct in Iowa were still missing. Clinton’s ability to turn out her voters in populous parts of the state resulted in a lopsided victory for her in terms of awarded delegates. But the way in which she won some precincts, more than a handful of which were resolved by coin toss, has Sanders supporters fuming.

“It quickly raised questions about whether Sanders had won the popular vote in Iowa. Sanders backers called for Iowa Democratic Party officials to release the raw vote totals,” the Des Moines Register reported. But the party will not release the raw vote totals, at least not yet, and there are no mechanisms that would allow Sanders to call for a recount. That has not stopped the wily socialist senator from Vermont from trying. Sanders is reportedly looking into ways in which he can compel the release of the raw votes from Iowa, and, as of this writing, he has refused to concede the race to Clinton.
