All members should be either posting in support of a democratic candidate or encourage others not to vote for republican/conservative candidates. Since you are violating the DU Rules, I'm asking you to delete this post. Thank you and welcome to DU.

and the illegal actions by the chairwoman are grounds for "this working both ways"?

In case you missed it, both sides yelled as loud as they could when a voice vote was called. If that illegal, you'd best be scolding the Hillary people also.

It's kind of a stupid rule, but you do have to be a registered Democrat to participate in the Democratic convention.

I had no clue you can just change rules as you see fit while not following the order of the convention.

Private organizations set their own rules of engagement and it was not a new rule that you have to be a registered Democrat to participate in the Democrat convention.

Sanders people tried to pull a delegate grab, but they got shut down and rightfully so.

That's why they wanted to remove the chairwoman because of voting on rules without a clear vote, or taking a preliminary vote which was apparently illegal and all of which had even Hillary delegates/supporters standing with Bernie delegates against the shenanigans. But I guess they got what they deserved. I guess our votes are disposable.

I didn't know that the hillarians had been adopted into the BFEE too. Though I'm not surprised.

and I'm just going to stop right there, because maybe Hill should just give Bernie some of her delegates.

I mean she has so many, what's one or two to assuage the rage? Hillary Lannister keeps killing the Big Mo.
