373. Thats because of your confirmation bias.

We all have biases that shape what we see.

The same facts Donna presents with such melodramatic negative spin can be interpreteded positively. HRC bailed out the DNC and effectively sidelined DWS.

As others have pointed out elsewhere Bernie signed a similar fundraising agreement w the DNC that Donna forgets to mention.

Lastly Donna wrote an article in March 2017 which debunked the DNC rigging meme:

"When I was asked last July to step in temporarily as D.N.C. Chair, I knew things were amiss. The D.N.C. had been hacked, and thousands of staff emails and documents were plastered on various websites. Staff were harassed, morale suffered, and we lost weeks of planning. Donors were harassed, and fundraising fell off.

Snip

By stealing all the DNC’s emails and then selectively releasing those few, the Russians made it look like I was in the tank for Secretary Clinton. Despite the strong, public support I received from top Sanders campaign aides in the wake of those leaks, the media narrative played out just as the Russians had hoped, leaving Sanders supporters understandably angry and sowing division in our ranks. In reality, not only was I not playing favorites, the more competitive and heated the primary got, the harder D.N.C. staff worked to be scrupulously fair and beyond reproach. In all the months the Russians monitored the D.N.C.’s email, they found just a handful of inappropriate emails, with no sign of anyone taking action to disadvantage the Sanders campaign."

Very different than the book excerpt today. The cynical side of me thinks the spin in her book was a marketing decision.


At any rate you are right that DU is a bubble that doesn't reflect real world Democrats. We're political junkies here, very obsessed.
