Sanders challenger files complaint over election tactic

[TexasTowelie]

Folasade Adeluola said she’s running to stop Sen. Bernie Sanders from “waging war” with the Democratic Party.

The newcomer to politics is a self-described “Obamacrat activist” and is facing Sanders in Tuesday’s the Vermont Democratic primary. She’s a single mother who is self-employed in accounting and lives in Burlington.

Adeluola, 55, is originally from Nigeria and became a U.S. citizen in the 1990s.

If he wins the primary, Sanders has said he will continue his practice of declining the nomination and running as an independent in the general election — a traditional Adeluola aims to stop.

[Gothmog]

3. Agreed

[Wwcd]

4. Fresh face, challenging the established incumbant. This is 2018 alright!

We need all the Dems we can get to gain the majority & take our place in those coveted committees.

Best wishes in the fight for the Dem majority.

12. Did You Say Established?

As in establishment?

Oh my

[Wwcd]

14. I remember calling it 'anti-disestablishmentarianism'

I even knew what it meant as a 12 yr old.

Waaaay back..

I think it was used by a pot smokin comedian ..or someone.

Antidisestablishmentarianism

Brief simple definition: A movement formed to dismantle an establishment or organization that is about to destroy a society.

Trump & Putun's Red Wave, for instance.

5. Someone help me understand. Wht does Sanders run as a Democrat in the primary?

Isn't he allowed to run in the general without running in a party affiliated primary?

[Maven]

7. To knock out competition before his run as an independent. In other words, to rig the primary. nt

I hope she can stop Bernie...

[Maven]

8. The VT Democratic Party should put a stop to this chicanery by Sanders

by requiring all primary candidates to sign a written pledge to run as a Democrat during the general.

[George II]

11. Yes, it's basically screwing Vermont Democrats out of a Democratic Senator.

[Me.]

13. Or A Candidate Altogether

17. A couple of weeks ago there was a debate scheduled between her and Sanders.

Adeluola showed up, Sanders didn't. He was in the Midwest campaigning.
