(10,056 posts)to mismanage the NV convention and create an atmosphere that is hostile the Sanders supporters?
The way Lange was conducting the convention contravenes the party rules for no reason other than to alienate the progressive wing of the party.
Purpose matters in situations like this, and thus far I have not seen a logical explanation for the bullshit that went down in NV.
If the shoe was on the other foot I would be just as upset by this.
Open and fair processes should be paramount.

(10,056 posts)Why are they full of shit? They were Democrats for the caucuses, so what happened?
And what about the excluded Clinton delegates? If they were cool for the caucuses, why not now?
The issue here is credibility and accountability to the voters. Lange and her posse of keystone cop operatives exhibit neither.

(626 posts)Changed. AThe rule change allowed the committee to exclude them. THEN the NVDP pulled the theft out in the open as described above. You COULD learn this on your own by doing a google or two. Or you could continue to show yourself a mindless partisan.

(15,680 posts)But it really doesn't matter. The perception among Berners is that the DNC and Clinton wing have rigged this primary in every conceivable way against Bernie Sanders. Perception is reality in life until corrected.
The DNC really needs to do a better job of the "correcting" part. What happened in NV did not help. From what I've seen, the Nevada branch of the DNC gave the appearance that they railroaded the session. Seems like they could have easily avoided that appearance if nothing else.

And when the vote is very close, the individual votes are counted. A voice vote does not permit the votes to be counted.
And the qualifications of delegates to a state convention should be reviewed and approved BEFORE the date of the convention.
The problem with the Nevada convention was the poor organization.
The Hillary people were in charge because they had more votes, but they couldn't run a fair convention. They were incompetent.
Hillary needs to show more than anything that she is as competent as she claims.
She failed in Nevada.
What a mess.
And we would not know how disorganized the Hillary people were had the Bernie people not acted as they did.

Who chose the date? The Conservative Party.
Do you think the old fogey party *accidentally* picked a day when all of the students in the country happen to be moving and not sure what riding they should vote in?

(1,370 posts)This shouldn't even be about Hillary vs Sanders.. This is about our democratic process. If watched without bias, it's clear Roberta Lang the Chair had no intention to engage in a democratic process and insure the majority had a voice in the proceedings. Her only interest was to control the outcome...
This should be of concern no matter who you're voting for.. And why Dem party officials are willing to alienate and divide an already divided party even further is a question that is hard to find a rational answer for...

(57,936 posts)The convention was being run in a bullying, unjust way.
Is that what we will get with Hillary?
Probably yes.
That's what her foreign policy was like. Bullying and unjust.
Feel the Bern!
