    lol you’re like the perfect Lemmy parody at this point. Even got some name calling in because I have an account on .ml? You’re a child.

    For anyone else, lets go to the DNC’s responses when questioned on whether their elections are fair and balanced

    we could have voluntarily decided that, Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way. That’s not the way it was done. But they could have. And that would have also been their right… - DNC attorney Bruce Spiva. DNC lawyers have argued and continue to argue that the Democratic Party doesn’t owe anyone a fair process. It has every right to disregard its own rules or interpret its rules how it wants because it is a private organization

    Bruce Spiva, representing the DNC, made the argument that would eventually carry the day: … as he explained how the DNC worked, Spiva made a hypothetical argument that the party wasn’t really bound by the votes cast in primaries or caucuses. “The party has the freedom of association to decide how it’s gonna select its representatives to the convention and to the state party,” said Spiva. “Even to define what constitutes evenhandedness and impartiality really would already drag the court well into a political question and a question of how the party runs its own affairs. The party could have favored a candidate. I’ll put it that way.”

        This one was easy, campaigned and followed daily for Sanders in 2016. The constant charade and collusion inside the DNC against Sanders at the time was apparent and became factual with court cases and leaked documents. It’s why Debbie Wasserman Schultz lost her position as chairwoman (should’ve been banned from the party, but that would be holding people accountable).

        Wasserman Schultz was elected chair of the Democratic National Committee in May 2011, replacing Tim Kaine.[2][3] On July 28, 2016, she resigned from that position after WikiLeaks released leaked emails showing that she and other members of the DNC staff had favored Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primaries in exchange for funding to eliminate the DNC’s remaining debt from the 2012 presidential campaign.[3][4] source

        I would categorize @Eldritch@lemmy.world as a disinformation troll at this point. It’s one thing to be wrong, but to lie with insults and not step back any statements is a sign of someone who doesn’t care because they already did what they sought out to do.

        Definitely always do the research if you have time to respond, there’s plenty of times I’ve been misinformed till I start digging into it and always try to apologize with a correction to my statements.
