Honestly call or email the Democratic party offices and voice that you one hundred percent agree with Sanders.

      Clearly this loss lies solely on the shoulders of black and Latino voters, as well as the evil Bernie Bros and the progressives.

      We just need to go further to the right next election while continuing to raise record dark pac money contributions. Then we can win!

      Pelosi is wrong. But she is not the owner of the DNC. The DNC is controlled by delegates elected by primary voters. The DNC is not a person or monolithic entity.

        The DNC is controlled by delegates elected by primary voters.

        I’m afraid thats not entirely true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate

        Also, party leadership constantly changes the rules to suit the election cycle. They are a private entity and can run primaries however they want. In the DNC vs Sanders case, they successfully argued that they can elect canddates in a smoke filled back room if they so chose, and had no legal duty to fairness or in representing the will of the voters whatsoever.

          It is entirely true. No superdelegate can vote in the initial primary vote.

          They are a private entity and can run primaries however they want.

          Subject to the DNC charter. They are bound by the DNC charter in the same way that the government is bound by the Constitution.

          they successfully argued that they can elect canddates in a smoke filled back room if they so chose

          They argued they could change the DNC charter, which it technically true. The USA how the power to change its Constituion, but it is still bound by it.
