Democrats consider new rules to avoid convention chaos

[bjo59]

8. Using the trumped up narrative about Nevada to clamp down hard in Philly. Why is this

not surprising in the least? I think the "chaos" at the Nevada convention was planned by Roberta Gustav Lange, the Nevada party committee, and Wasserman Schultz & co. at the national level. How hard is to crank up tensions? Not hard at all: lock out over 50 delegates for not being correctly credentialed with no recourse for those locked out, hold the first vote half an hour before the scheduled start time of the convention, make it difficult for people to leave to go to the bathroom, make it very difficult for people to have food sent in (one delegate reported eating one piece of pizza in 16 hours), hold a voice vote that the "nays" won and bang the gavel to the announcement that "the yays have it," make it almost impossible for delegates to bring a motion for a recount and then when they finally manage it (conforming to the new rules that were rammed through), call the convention adjourned while the motion is in process. Yep, looks like a screw job to me. A set up so that Wasserman Schultz, Comcast, and the rest of the head honchos presiding over that Democratic National Convention can set rules to marginalize, infantilize, and disenfranchise Sanders delegates at the DNC. So pathetic and obvious... but, then, why not be pathetic and obvious when the entire corporatized power structure of the country is behind you? Is this the USA or Zimbabwe?
