So, let me get this straight: The DNC is rigging the system against Bernie by ... helping Bloomberg? [View all]

Shouldn't it be Biden who's the most upset here? How is this rigging the system against Bernie when the DNC lifting its donor requirements is going to put up a moderate Bloomberg on stage - literally Biden's biggest moderate threat?

I mean, this is bat-shit conspiracy stuff, folks. Or it's Bernie just whining for whining sake, because having Bloomberg on stage actually HELPS him, since the two aren't likely going after the same voter demographics.

But whatever. I guess anything to complain about a rigged system in a party you don't even claim to be a member of.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

You're accusing Bloomberg of bribery, and DNC officials of taking bribes? highplainsdem Jan 2020 #9

Why would they do this for him and not Booker or Castro? Baclava Feb 2020 #13

Well, it wouldn't be because of bribery. What a horrible accusation to make. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #14
