Even ignoring the obvious PR disaster of keeping DWS around, I can't help but wonder *why*. Blackmail? What benefit does she gain? She would have to be incredibly valuable to keep around. I really don't get it. I'm crossing my fingers for Bernie at the convention at this point. | ||

For months and months, the media has been giving these clowns at the DNC cover to fuck Bernie over even when they clearly knew what was going on. I hope all of you disillusioned liberals pay very careful attention to that fact. nope. because you're aserting the media being in on it is not a fact; it's an opinion, with inadequate foundation; especially given your long history of bias on such issues. Then again, maybe I'm not in the category of people you were referring to, in which case, nevermind and forget I said anything. | ||

Only difference being it wasn't against the rules for her to be openly against Bernie winning. | ||

This is what makes this so strange to me. There's not really anything clear to be gained here. It's just pissing people off, and even if you think those people you are pissing off are few or don't matter, I don't see what she's getting in exchange. | ||

The only right choice for left leaners is to continue to support the candidate which openly lied to us the whole campaign, was extremely careless with classified info, had her staff conspire with the DNC to undermine her competition, planted her minion at the head of the DNC, and when that minion was exposed, she praised and gave her a position on her "campaign". No but seriously, the validation does feel good though. It should, I've seen most of your theories during the primaries dismissed as a crazy conspiracy antics but it turned out most of that came to fruition. Even in light of all this Hillary supporters will still stand behind her, there's no hope at this point. I hope the convention just gets halted due to protests, and Bernie is lifted on a iron throne and carried in mid way through Shillary's final speech. One can dream | ||

Your right, they should be banned from voting, having opinions or interacting with the primary. That would have totally changed the outcome. | ||

Not exactly how I expected this week to go but I guess someone at Wikileaks decided to send Hillary a massive "fuck you" with impeccable timing. It depends. Internet drama does not always translate into drama in reality. We will see that tomorrow. But Bernie has endorsed Hiliary, so it's not like they will get much out of him. | ||

What an insane election. I just wish I knew what they were thinking hiring her. I have to know. It defies reason in so many ways that it makes me think dws has what it takes to full on take down Clinton. They could be soul linked so to speak. I am legitimately thinking Bernie could come out of the convention as the nominee. I hope he does. Sure didn't expect myself to be saying that the night before the convention. Christ. | ||
