And this surprises you?!?!

DNC officials actively colluded to undercut Sanders in the primary...when polls showed, Clinton could lose, but Sanders would win.

The democratic party, like the republican party, cares aboot power and $$...they do not give a fuk aboot you or the general populous.

Smoke and mirrors Ben.

He knows that only applies to candidates, not elected officials.
And he knows he never would have been elected had it been in place for the election he won.

Holy shit...Hillary's connected with Russian collusion...

Hillary's campaign manager was John Podesta.

John has a brother, Tony Podesta, the Democratic Party super-lobbyist.

Together they started the firm, the Podesta Group, a lobbying firm.

Today, Tony resigned from that firm, after it was discovered the firm was named in Manafort's indictment.

The indictment states the firm was "hired by Manafort to lobby for the Yanukovych government in 2012 but did not register as foreign agents until 2017."

Gee, funny how the Russians got Hillary's e-mails so easily off John's computer.

You probably think I'm just pulling your leg...but I'm not...

Actually, you’re allowed to play...you’re not allowed to win.

I just went through it with a non-partisan mayoral election in a local community and the fucking DNC Chair went on MSNBC telling democrats they had to get out and vote. A former and current senator, and three current congressmen all came to push for the partisan to represent a failure of a state legislator in a bid for an 18 month job.

Fuck the democrats and the republicans like Bob says, neither give a fuck about you!

“There has been a real desire for the national Democratic Party to learn key lessons from 2016,” said Norman Solomon, who organized 2016’s Bernie Delegates Network and is one of four co-authors of Autopsy: The Democratic Party in Crisis. “While there's been real progress in some state parties and local party entities, there are very few indications that the national Democratic Party has done much but double down on a failed set of policies.”
The national party hasn’t found ways to embrace those who elected 46 percent of delegates to 2016’s national convention. The DNC still does not know how to deal with these Berniecrats, even though some state parties have found ways to bridge gaps and cultivate relationships for 2018.

Many of the DNC's most deeply embedded issues, Brazile notes, spring both from former chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz's poor management and former President Barack Obama's neglect, which left the committee deeply in debt.
In August 2015, the Clinton campaign—along with the joint fundraising vehicle with the DNC, the Hillary Victory Fund—came to an agreement with the committee to begin to pay off this debt, which had soared to $24 million. In exchange, the DNC's finances were placed "fully under the control" of the Clinton team, "which seemed to confirm the suspicions of the Bernie camp," Brazile writes.
"When the party chooses the nominee, the custom is that the candidate's team starts to exercise more control over the party," Brazile observed. "This victory fund agreement, however, had been signed...just four months after Hillary announced her candidacy and nearly a year before she officially had the nomination."
Brazile goes on to describe the terms of the agreement, which she describes as "unethical":
The agreement...specified that in exchange for raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party's finances, strategy, and all the money raised. Her campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.
Brazile concludes the piece, which is an adapted excerpt from her forthcoming book, by detailing a conversation she had with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) shortly after she found the "cancer" at the heart of the DNC—this so-called "Joint Fundraising Agreement."
