Reasonable people can disagree whether the DNC violated their charter Ok, let me ask then, do you believe that the actions of Debbie Wasserman Schultz as the Chair of the DNC violated the charter? That internal DNC memorandum relating to "advancing Hillary Clinton to the nomination of the Democrati...

Firstly Diotima, it is much easier to disect these if you use the quote tags. Either way I will persevere. The DNC's is not arguing that their charter doesn't require them to be fair or even-handed. It's that this aspect of their charter is vague enough that it can't be the basis of a suit for wrong...

Nah. Already told you - you're functionally ridiculous. There's zero point in "debating" with somebody with zero consideration for the actual outcomes and implications of what he's advocating for on top of a pretty obviously shaky and shallow grasp of history with regards to what he's debating. Let...

Welcome to representative democracy Faul, the only qualification is to be elected. Just no. That's empirically false in pretty much every way. Faul, and this is where we differ. I believe that your statement is incorrect, and to demonstrate this rather than just disagreeing with you I will present ...

I think you've got a pretty fucked up sense of the word "qualifications". Welcome to representative democracy Faul, the only qualification is to be elected. Either you accept that one of its inherent flaws is the ability to elect someone who appeals to the masses, or you can scrap the whole thing a...

Looks like we've got a round 2. Nothing the DNC did was improper during the primaries, even if some of the things they talked about doing might have been. Which is why the DNC has been in court this month arguing that they have no legal obligation to be impartial or even-handed, despite the charter ...

I congratulate you once again for entirely ignoring the point about the DNC blatantly violating their own charter, and their current defence of doing so. You claim that "corrections" are required on occasion: they could have voted to change the charter, and they did not. To use the argument you pres...

Suffice it to say, there are plenty of "notions" in democracy that are not purely represented in their purest form because people who want to get anything done generally recognize those things fall apart when rubber hits the roads...then you get morons who think supply-side makes sense on principle...

Guest, Firstly the point that bernie lost the popular vote was brought up, and faul made exactly the same statement that you are making here (except in a far more civilized manner). The point wasnt that "bernie should have won", he lose the popular vote. The point was that in using the methods the D...

Hello guest, if you took the time to re-read the previous posts you would see that this isn't the point in contention.
