89. Posting about the DNC's violations is not violating any rules. But feel free to alert if it

Jul 2016

makes you happy.

I post a simple thread about an article from TODAY that has the top Democrat in the Senate saying that the DNC treated Sanders unfair. That deserves to be heard.

There is a reason DWS was forced to resign in case you forgot.

Brad Marshall, the CFO of the DNC, was suggesting targeting Bernie Sander for his religion! And he's STILL in the DNC!

That is NOT being neutral and it not acceptable. If a member of the DNC had suggested targeting Hillary's religion we'd never hear the end of it. Somehow it's OK since it's just Bernie though. Right?

And there are plenty of other things in those emails that I can't discuss here which show how much the DNC favored Clinton. It's not cool and that's why 2 former heads of the DNC have said so as has Harry Reid.

You came into the thread mocking the thread and have continued to do so through out. Thanks once again.
