    The leaks resulted in allegations of bias against Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, in apparent contradiction with the DNC leadership’s publicly stated neutrality,[8] as several DNC operatives openly derided Sanders’s campaign and discussed ways to advance Clinton’s nomination.

      Yes, everyone is aware that happened…

      That was a decade ago, the chair changes every 4 years…

      If AOC becomes president, are you going to blame her for what’s trump doing now?

      Obviously that wouldn’t make sense, but it’s the same thing you’re doing right now

        What evidence do we have, that the people who would conspire to do it then, aren’t doing it now. Was anyone punished? You say the Chair changed, but did it change to someone better? What about everyone else? What about the donors the DNC is beholden to? Their governance?

        Are you saying the DNC is clean and fair now?

          The fact that it’s different people…

          Was anyone punished?

          Punished for what? What laws do you think were broken?

          You say the Chair changed, but did it change to someone better?

          Yes, Ken Martin. He ran Minnesota for a decade.

          What about everyone else?

          The vice chairs? I don’t know who you’re even talking about, but the chair has full power

          What about the donors the DNC is beholden to?

          Take their money and then just not do what they want… The only negative is they’re stop trying to buy us off, but take their money anyways, you’d be an absolute idiot not to when the fight is this serious.

          Are you saying the DNC is clean and fair now?

          I’ve typed it so much my thumbs are turning blue, at least you’re starting to wonder if what I keep saying is what I’m actually saying.

            I find your answers honest, but unsatisfying and just a touch naive.
