2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: A few emails that no one knew existed until yesterday... [View all]So you would rather Bernie ran as 3rd party in order to split up the Democrat vote and thus hand Trump the election? Not to mention that Bernie wasn't the only primary candidate complaining about the shady behavior of the DNC. Martin O'Malley had quite a few comments of his own. Bernie did the Democrat party a huge favor by running as a Democrat, and it would go a long way in getting the unity that most of us want by acknowledging the positives of both Hillary and Bernie as well as this email situation being a perfect opportunity of ridding the DNC of corruption.
DWS wasn't good for the DNC. First, she had too much conflict of interest concerning Hillary with them being such good friends. Second, she was more helpful to Republicans than Democrats. Then there were the issues of Media suppression of non-Hillary candidates during the primaries as well as suppression of Democrat debate opportunities.
If people are going to stand behind the Democrat party and be PROUD to do so, then the corruption needs to GO rather than people resenting that it was uncovered.
I agree with not letting it ruin the convention and I am looking forward to seeing what I hope will be a very POSITIVE experience, but let's not hang on to the bad out of fear for the good.
