What we need are a conservative (no tea party) party, and a progressive, (no corporate backed) party. Because the 2 parties don’t even resemble themselves anymore.
It turns out that Hillary Clinton didn’t rig the Democratic primary because the joint fundraising agreement between Clinton and the DNC only applied to the general election.
NBC News published the full Clinton-DNC fundraising agreement memo, and it contains a paragraph that destroys the conspiracy theory that Clinton rigged the primary, “Nothing in this agreement shall be construed to violate the DNC’s obligation of impartiality and neutrality through the Nominating process. All activities performed under this agreement will be focused exclusively on preparations for the General Election and not the Democratic Primary.”
No amount of claims about 1) debate dates; 2) Donna Brasile (herself) giving Clinton questions in advance, and 3) John Podesta emails will ever convince me that any of it swayed the 3-4 million votes she won the primaries by.
I did vote for Bernie; but he was not, and is not now, a Democrat, which is what the party is now. He is what the Democratic Party used to be, and hopefully will be again.
And, J Gray, let’s forget the bs about “the leftists not knowing”. We know more than you ever will.
