It’s a funny thing about fraud. It’s a bit like poisoning a well. Once you’ve done it, there’s not really any going back, either for the water or for you. I guess people wanting to use the well could conceivably purify the water after the fact, but that would take both an honest assessment of the poisoning, and expert knowledge of how to get poison out of water. Lacking either of those elements, the water is poisoned—that’s that.

Millennials are to blame for Hillary Clinton's failures. If Trump succeeds in getting into the White House, it will be their fault. Just ask James Kirchick of The Daily Beast:
Hat tip to MsGrin
The Clinton campaign is slowly looking outside its bubble to see that more and more natives are getting restless. Thus comes the inevitable health push-back.
A more correct title for this article would be "Clinton's campaign threatens media". To quote from it:
I always like to get a window on how I'm viewed by the Establishment.
Plus, our beloved Joe Shikspack was interviewed.
[...] Sanders’ most dogged grassroots supporters have not disappeared.
So, I threw my back out and couldn’t sit for long at the computer—and on the same day, my computer started turning itself off abruptly every time it booted up! (I think there may be a fan/overheating problem). I’m now relegated to my laptop, and relatively short stints at keyboard.
Therefore, it's no surprise when it behaves like one.
Bernie said there was corruption. Well, we found it.
The only surprise here is that they were this ham-handed and blatant, seriously jumping the gun when there was no need to, using a method which could create a lot more blowback than other, subtler methods.
UPDATE:
Sooo, one minor detail that I failed to take in consideration is that many of us already boycott the MSM. Whoops, so that wouldn't work for us, would it? But I wonder if we are just the few? I wonder about the rest of the Sanders supporters?
In any event a really good suggestion was given in a response to this diary on 'Kossacks for Sanders' by Knotlookin, that I would like to copy:
I feel like things are shifting! The "tone" is shifting in the media, which may very well indicate the corporate game plan has changed.
First, we have a Snopes post marking the Nevada violence as 100% false:

I apologize in advance for this crappy excuse for a diary, but I'm experiencing a repetitive motion-induced pain up and down my arm and really shouldn't be on a keyboard today!
However, I saw a link to this article on Twitter. It's about 3 weeks old. It's the clearest analysis of the election I've seen yet, and I wanted to draw folks' attention to it.
Here it is. I hope it's useful to you guys. The author is clear-headed and honest.
