    Sanders supporters literally sued the DNC and the case was dismissed by DNC legal counsel arguing they were under no obligation to enact the will of the people and had every right to make backroom Deals in dark rooms filled with cigar smoke and rich old men. We are living in fascism right now. Both parties are owned by the same wall street military and prison industry profiteers who also control all the main stream legacy media outlets. The idea that our democratic system still functions is foolishly naive

      Donald Trump sues people all the time for things they never did. Bringing a suit doesn’t necessarily mean something happened.

      I believe the DNC did not violate their own rules during the primary. That is a low bar. I think there’s plenty things we could do to make the primary more democratic. But the DNC didn’t break their rules just to get Hillary elected. The rules were designed to get people like Hillary elected.

      Lawyers argue the easiest route they have. They’re there to win a case, not have a debate and sway an audience to their righteousness. If the party is under no obligation to be fair, that’s an easy solution and they don’t need to make more difficult subjective arguments about fairness.
