(68,868 posts)This 'email' is a crude hoax designed specifically to get Sanders voters to support Trump or Stein.

(934 posts)DWS understands what's at stake with this election. She doesn't want the convention to be about this story.
So far, no one can produce a single email that implicates DWS in anything. People who worked for the DNC wrote stupid things to each other, much like people who worked for the Sanders campaign stupidly stole data. Debbie fell on her sword to shut this nonsense down. And all the "principled" people cheered.
At least Rapey Julian is happy today. The person he destroyed it a woman AND a Jew. Doesn't get much better in his world than this.

(4,824 posts)And stupid to boot.
Time for change
(13,737 posts)Why does that in any way suggest that they were fake? It shows the DNC plotting strategy prior to the start of the primary season.
Anyhow, there are now hundreds of leaked e-mails showing collusion between the DNC, our national news media and the Clinton campaign. This is just one of many.

(4,824 posts)Iowa was the first caucus. Before the race really began. Why would this person be talking about that? Only focusing on Bernie supporters back then? Martin O'Malley was also in the race.
Why not talk about New Hampshire or any of the other races that were soon to follow Iowa?
The maturity of the writing style in this email also doesn't pass the smell test.

(13,737 posts)The collusion between the DNC and the Hillary campaign has been obvious for many months prior to the start of the primary season. E-mails like this one just provide some of the gory details and advance the status of the collusion from obvious to proof.

(45,319 posts)I'm considering just not being a part of this Party that obviously does not want Bernie voters or anyone who is not acceptable to Southern Baptists who are 'peeps' of the Party. This Party hates me. It says so in messages from the communications director. What a piece of shit Eric is. He took our money to do that. I'm furious.

This kind of talk is typical, I'm afraid, for Conservadems. Nasty business.

(13,979 posts)That a search of the emails shows no such thing. It's also a poorly written fake.
Time for change
(13,737 posts)It's consistent with hundreds or thousands of other recently leaked e-mails that show beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was consistent collusion between the DNC and the Clinton campaign to ensure that Clinton won.
Orangepeel
(13,979 posts)It isn't in the leaked emails and it doesn't read like an email a real person would send (who would he be writing to that he starts an email with good afternoon!!, goes right into inflammatory statements that don't make sense time wise, and closes with "yours"?)

(71,265 posts)Hillary was hurt more by the purge.
Time for change
(13,737 posts)But we'll never know, because the NY Board of Elections, which was responsible for the purge, refused to allow any public observation of the process by which they went through the provisional ballots and decided which ones to count. Can you explain why they wouldn't allow public observation of that process, which is so crucial to the ensuring of a fair election?

Blue_Adept
(6,499 posts)but I suspect that people seeing the alert will agree that it's not bashing democrats but discussing a news story.
Most clicking on it, like myself for the alert I got on it, did not know at the time that it was a hoax email. I would have juried differently.
