When a candidate declares him or herself a Democrat, they are from that point on a Democrat. There's no entrance exam. Once a private political party accepts funds from a diverse membership base, it's tasked with administrating the function of that party to the benefit of the entire party, not a single candidate.
You may volunteer and work for the party Vision, you don't own it.
Who said I did? But that doesn't mean I have to like you. Especially when all you (Sanders) did was cry like a baby the entire time.
Truth be told, it was Sanders that more greatly benefitted from the DNC rules by far. He primarily won low voter turnout caucuses that hardly represented the existing electorate. Am I lying?
Sanders won the Washington State and Nebraska Caucuses by decent margins. When those two states held non binding primaries in which many many more people voted Hillary dusted him off by good margins. He gamed low voter caucuses for delegates. So who benefitted? He should have never been in it. For real. This election wasn't close. She trounced him.
During the platform battles, the two things he desperately wanted more than anything was to eliminate super delegates and open primaries. The CBC wrote strongly worded letters in no uncertain terms dictating that doing so was not going to happen and that is wasn't even negotiable. He dropped it right away. Cuz he knew.
My question remains how was the process not fair? Vkim, give it a rest.
