That's picking up a chair and handing it to a Bernie supporter. The rigger rigged and walked off.

All the motion asked for was a recount, and supporting reasons were given. Just a recount.

This one is amazing. It starts with the heartfelt plea from an honest, concerned delegate, who desperately wants unity, but who also wants her concerns addressed. It ends with the totally unfair and dictatorial judgement of a party hack who has no concern for democracy.

Same kind of bullshit tactics they use in Florida Dem affairs! Typical 7th grade antics by a bunch of unethical players who mostly happen to be women... at least out front for the dirty work!

When the DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S Super-Delegates, who previously did not exist, should be created to curb the people the party represents, should the people's numbers become too big to push their ideas to those who represent them!
