They railroaded Clinton into being the 2016 candidate and appointed Harris as the 2024 one.
Clinton won the popular vote in the 2016 primaries. Nonratfuckety was needed. No superdelegates needed to cast a single vote at the convention because she had enough pledged elected delegates. The party even changed the rules starting in 2018 so that superdelegates don’t even get a vote in the convention unless the pledged delegates can’t elect a nominee in the first round of voting.
The DNC leadership doesn’t care what their constituents actually want.
Which is why we have to actually show up and out-vote them instead of losing elections to “teach them a lesson” which hurts us more than it does them.
Uncoincidentally, that’s why said leadership needs to be replaced.
Yes indeed. And the DNC leadership elections after the last election have finally started that shift towards more progressive leadership (notice that the leaders are voted into office, that and people had to participate in that vote, it’s kind of a theme here 😋).
When the DNC uses their media connections to push the narrative that Clinton was ahead by hundreds of delegate votes before the primaries have even started… Don’t you think that’s going to have some affect on how/if people vote in the primaries?
Using the end result of ratfuckery to try to disprove that ratfuckery occurred is a shit argument.
