Shocker from Nevada State Democratic Convention
From a friend of mine (Deborah) in Las Vegas
"Charlotte, we are living in a third world country. This country is run by a Corporate Dictatorship and anything that doesn't jive with it goes down. They don't care how. You would not believe what went on in the Nevada State Democratic Convention this weekend.:
The Chair passed her own motion to throw away the results of the County Conventions (at which stage Bernie votes outnumbered HiIIary votes and the state flipped to Bernie). Someone successfully (with a majority of the delegates) passed a motion for a recount. So, according to the convention agenda, the only next step permissible was the recount that had just passed. But suddenly, the Chair ran to the podium, grabbed the mic, hand shaking, and made a motion to accept the elected delegates to the national convention and move on. She lost the motion by a wide margin (approx. 900-200) but she called it in her favor anyway.
Next, she moved to adjourn the convention. Again, she lost the motion by an enormous motion yet still called the meeting adjourned, banged the gavel, and then ran off as fast as she could. Then, a dozen or so armed guards paraded up the front and formed a line. They threatened us if we didn't leave, in a prompt, quiet, and orderly manner. We don't live in a democracy. We are China. We are the USSR. People still don't get how serious this really is."
