“The Democratic National Committee remains neutral in this primary, based on our rules,” — DWS
That the DNC is “in the bag for Clinton” is just a conspiracy theory, right?
Baltimore mayor and DNC Secretary Stephanie Rawlings-Blake denied any suggestion that Clinton's camp was treated more favorably by the committee.
Thanks to Wikileaks we now know the truth. Debbie and others of course didn’t stop there, even falsely accusing Sanders delegates of violence.
We already knew that the DNC was screwing the Sanders campaign, Wikileaks just gave us more proof. Back in May Alex Bolton, senior reporter for The Hill spelled it out, saying DWS was “in the tank for Hillary”. He flat out called the DNC unfair and gave several examples including the ridiculous debate schedule, the attempted database lockout prior to the Iowa and NH votes, their lies about the data breach, and what many now call a “money laundering scheme”.
These were all part of a pattern, and those who pointed out the picture that pattern painted were often called “conspiracy theorists”. No more. Now we have proof of DNC officials scheming to use religion (or lack thereof) as a weapon for the Clinton campaign.
But let’s make the headline about scary Trump and his Russian friends, rather than talking about how we get the DNC to quit ratfucking progressives.
I have an idea, how about the people who called this ratfuckery “a conspiracy theory” or “no big deal” write a proper mea culpa and let that be a bridge to allow Sanders voters to cross over and support HRC, rather than yelling “Trump Trump” and expecting us to run towards a team that denies reality when the facts are so bloody obvious. And admitting that the DNC had its thumb on the scale is just a start, getting some reforms lined out would be even better.
And here’s a tip: if the mea culpa has any of the usual piss that rains on progressives around here, that bridge might not get much traffic.
