(27,835 posts)... allowed Bernie to run as a Democrat, despite his demeaning of the Party for decades. They could have simply said no - but they didn't. So explain to us how "unfair" they were.
Bernie continued to denigrate the Democratic Party throughout his campaign. His campaign stole HRC's computer data - and his response was to sue the DNC. So enlighten us all as to how "fair" Bernie was to the organization that handed him the resources he needed to run.
Exactly HOW did the DNC violate its own impartiality clause? By two coworkers expressing their distaste for someone consistently denigrating the Party he was allegedly running for? Where did that distaste turn into ACTIONS that showed favouritism?
Bernie set himself up as "me v them". That was HIS position, not the DNC's nor the Party's. And you really wonder why individuals within the DNC expressed their personal opinion that the guy who was calling their Party "corporate whores" wasn't the guy they wanted to see as that Party's candidate?
More to the point, exactly how many voters do you think read Wikileaks, or take their spew seriously?
You say you're not re-fighting the last primary - and yet that's exactly what you're attempting to do. Bernie LOST - and emails between coworkers at the DNC had nothing to do with it. DWS had nothing to do with it. Wikileaks had nothing to do with it.
As for your opinion that DWS should not be allowed to participate in the Convention, MY personal opinion is that the man who repeatedly demeaned the Party he was allegedly running for should be barred from speaking at the Convention.
DWS has demonstrated her loyalty to that Party - Bernie Sanders has repeatedly expressed his disdain for the Party. So tell us all how HE deserves a place at the party's Convention while she doesn't.
I predict my post will last a matter of minutes - I will be accused of "re-fighting the primaries", and my post will be deleted. Sadly, the juries are still full of people who post their anti-Dem bullshit on "another site", but maintain their membership here in order to shut down any discussion that doesn't blame the DNC, DWS, HRC, or the Party as a whole for Bernie's election loss.
