    The DNC literally admitted to braking it own rules and cheating for Hillary in court.

    Your bullshit here that Bernie couldn’t win the primary so he wouldn’t win the general is post-hoc rationalization of the DNC being an undemocratic institution and justifying their theft of the party.

    Without addressing that theft, no primary in the world will fix this.

      The Democrat party sucks. But at this point it only matters to historians. Sure it’s good to remember how America got into this mess but right now it’s more important to figure out how to get out of it. I hope there’s no more republican or Democrat party after this

        First step is not putting your hope that the people who got you into this mess who have every reason to not try and get you out this mess, can and will fix it.

        Part of the purpose of consequences is to stop the damage.

        Obama’s whole “Lets not look backward” schtick is what allowed every single person responsible for the Iraq war and 2008 financial crisis, and the 2010 foreclosure-fraud crisis to maintain their positions of power.

          That’s one of the things I fear, that the democrats will somehow regain power but utterly fail to hold anyone accountable for this mess and then later on Stephen Miller will become president

      Them saying that they are a private institution and make their own rules isn’t quite saying what Trump and co told you it meant.

      It was the easiest legal argument to make.

        A private organization until it is time for federal funding.

        Fuck off, pathetic defender of oligarchy.

        Edit: If the corruption of the DNC was purely an invention of Trump, DWS wouldn’t have lost her position and DB wouldn’t have lost her job.

              You call it cheating because Trump and co told you it was.

              The WikiLeaks documents didn’t prove anything Bernie himself realized he lost on Jun 24th and stepped down to endorse Clinton.

              Why do you want to keep rehashing right wing propaganda about a 10 year old primary?

                Wikileaks absolutely proved Donna Brazile funneled debate questions to Clinton.

                Trump didn’t tell me anything, in that I understand how DKIM works. Evidently you don’t, so you want to try and pretend that the emails were faked or modified. That’s not how encryption works, though.
