I'm gonna leave the dem party if I have to listen for one more second

141. I dislike both "rigged" and "___ is owed the apology"

I don't see any of that as helpful -- but I also don't think it's helpful to try to suppress discussion of the lessons to be learned from 2016.

The 2016 process resulted in the nomination of a female candidate. That does not mean, however, that any criticism of that process is "sexist bullshit."

Re superdelegates, I said that there were colorable arguments on both sides. What's not a colorable argument is "Tad Devine was one architect of the system in 1984 and thereafter was Bernie's campaign manager in 2016 and therefore no one who supported Bernie is allowed to call for a change in the system." I'm not clear whether that's the meaning of your reference to Devine but, if it is, it's a total non sequitur.

My bottom line on the New York purge was, "It should be thoroughly investigated and the guilty parties punished, with steps being taken to prevent a recurrence." The links you gave reinforce the conclusion that the law was broken. This is an instance in which the process that resulted in a historic nomination was clearly broken. Historic result or no, it is not sexism to oppose illegal purges.
