Bernie Supporters Furious at DNC Leaks, Vow #NeverHillary, Consider Third Party Vote
Reason TV talks to disgruntled voters at the #March4Bernie Rally the day before the DNC.
Before Hillary Clinton takes the stage to accept the nomination for president at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) this week in Philadelphia, she must first get Bernie Sanders supporters to unite behind the ticket.
But the release of some 20,000 emails published by Wikileaks days before the convention—which appear to show the Democratic National Committee favored Clinton's campaign over Sanders'—will make that task difficult, if not impossible. (Debbie Wasserman Schultz has announced she will step down as committee chair.)
The Wikileaks revelations have angered many frustrated Bernie supporters, who feel the primary process has become corrupt and that the Democratic establishment has left them behind.
Reason TV caught up with Sanders supporters at the #March4Bernie rally the day before the DNC officially kicks off to find out how they feel about Hillary Clinton, their reaction to the WikiLeaks emails, and if they would be open to voting for a third-party candidate like Gary Johnson.
NOTE: This was filmed before Schultz's resignation announcement.
Approximately 5 minutes.

Their anger is empty and malleable. Expect them to coalesce timidly into the gut of the progressive beast.
"Moral" socialist guy has an extremely punchable face.
""Moral" socialist guy..."
Oxymoron; similar to "moral" murderer.
The best of reasons.
I was thinking the same thing.
Yes, they will line up for a loving paddling over the knee of mama Hillary, then vote for her while rubbing their sore butts. That will learn them!
Trump is a naked fascist
This guy clearly 1) does not know what words mean or 2) did not listen to a single word The Bern! said while he was running.
Hey Strasserian Fascists got exempted from being "fascists" after Night Of The Long Knives. Only the Hitler-y types left were the "real" fascists.
The Strasserians wound their way into the Social Democrats...
George Orwell remarked that fascists, socialists and communists were able to tell each other apart in ways entirely lost on folks who are not fascists, socialists or communists. The rest of us see a bunch of angry looters backstabbing one another...
I don't think I will ever understand why Sanders' supporters thought that the DNC would not be hostile to Sanders. He was a Democrat of convenience.
I would guess that, for most of them, it's the first time they got deep enough into politics to notice the dirt.
It's not like the DNC is one of those e-vul co-rupt 1% co-prations Berne warned them about.
Oh, wait. It is!

If they don't vote for Clinton (prediction: 90% will) they'll vote for Stein or they'll write Bernie in as a protest. Those that even vote this cycle. The far left is the Dem's equivalent of the Rep's evangelicals. You can piss them off, sure, and they might even stay home, but they will never in a million years vote for someone who will not only never give them what they want but will never even move them closer.
The LP could have harvested some of those votes. But some cowardly drips figured we could lick some ku-klux Republican jackboots instead by beginning a plank with a gerund: "Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides..."
This abject straddle SHOUTED in the face of every red-blooded 'Murrican woman not angling to become a grandmother that the LP is heavily infiltrated by christianofascist fanatics or simply lacks the cojones to stand up for the individual rights of half of humanity. There are exactly two sides: freedom and rights and looters with guns.
If the same committee were writing platforms 176 years ago the lead-in would have gone: "Recognizing that slavery is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides..."
I don't suppose the Russians could have gotten DNC passwords from some other Democrat's unsecured server, could they?
What, no one is going to comment on the appearance of Ms. Garcia?
This place is really going to hell.

Bernie supporters considering a third party vote?
I wonder if Bernie supporters will have a hammer and a sickle as their symbol?
Nah.
That would give away the surprise.
