she was having an out of the body experience bigtree May 2016 #13

What she's describing sounds to me like how party conventions work Recursion May 2016 #16

The chair steamrolled the delegates, didn't allow votes, purged Bernie delegates without a Uncle Joe May 2016 #21

Nah. Obama did the same thing in NV in 2008 and it was fine Recursion May 2016 #26

The chairperson ignored the voice vote and just slammed through new rules favoring Obama? think May 2016 #33

Yep. Recursion May 2016 #35

It's your claim. Own it. think May 2016 #37

I do own it. It's not my job to teach you this stuff, though. Recursion May 2016 #41

Because it didn't happen like you said. He had more delegates but the chair didn't change the rules think May 2016 #44

Neither of those happened in 2016 either Recursion May 2016 #47

So the person is lying in this article? Is that what you're saying? think May 2016 #49

Let's be kind and say that she was ignorant of the rules CajunBlazer May 2016 #86

Erin Bilbray was on the board. She claims the rules were changed after she voted on them think May 2016 #87

And she was shown to be wrong. The date change happened on a conference call she participated in Recursion May 2016 #112

I watched Erin give her account. I believe her. A minority report was refused to be heard. think May 2016 #125
