That said, the DNC CEO and two high level staffers just resigned as well. Part of the issue is the question of whether this is everything. There were legitimate concerns early in the campaign as to whether the DNC was being impartial, and this legitimizes some of the concerns (The debate number and schedule for example). I don't see proof that any of the earlier concerns were well founded or not, but the current evidence that the DNC was not impartial lends credence to those concerns. <br /><br />You're correct, Bernie's hands WEREN'T entirely clean. His staffers accessed voter information. It's important to note the difference in response, however. He apologized, and fired the staffers. Compare that to Hillary's response, where she hired someone highly placed in the scandal. <br /><br />But I'm not here to debate Bernie as a better candidate. Hillary is well qualified, and a SIGNIFICANTLY better candidate than the alternative of Trump. Supporting her or not is something that people will wrestle with. What your article was saying is that this isn't a choice of the lesser of two evils. I'm saying that, as someone who feels betrayed by the DNC, watching Hillary hire someone at the center of the impartiality, and the cronyism that suggests, makes her very much the lesser of two evils. She is STILL a better candidate than Trump. She is STILL someone I will vote for over the alternative. Her record of accomplishment is great. But she IS the lesser of two evils, and people shouldn't be surprised that some of the voters who feel jilted are wrestling with that.

Bernie spent $200 million (more than Hillary), the debates were viewed by millions (contra media reporting) and he had no negative advertising run against him while getting generally positive coverage from the press. I agree that some people in the DNC weren't acting impartially, but the most quoted emails were from May, when the race was basically over and it's not like Bernie's hands were entirely clean - his staffers did access voter information of the Clinton campaign. <br /><br />It's not my goal to litigate this aspect, instead, I would encourage you (unknown) to take a an objective look at Hillary's record on the issues that matter to you and then decide whether you can support her or not. I think the convention did a nice job of highlighting the decades-long record of accomplishment she has with regard to issues like health care, education, and women's rights. scarylawyerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340241283633171546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016253077154756564.post-21111690155551418222016-08-03T09:51:18.372-04:002016-08-03T09:51:18.372-04:00Wow.

I said that the information makes me feel like the primary was unfair, and that Clinton feeds in to this portrayal by hiring DWS before the dust has settled. <br /><br />You say scandal in quote marks as if it was an invented thing. A number of people have resigned already, and the details still haven't all come out. I'm not suggesting I know how awful it was either. It COULD turn out to be a lot of nothing, but it seems like there is at least some evidence. <br /><br />None of that has anything to do with my suggestion that her hiring DWS before all of this shook out implies that she's willing to reward someone without even knowing the degree of guilt. <br /><br />I'm not here to suggest that Hillary is unqualified, or inexperienced. She has a lot of great credentials, including her connections. I'm here to suggest that to a lot of people, myself included, the hiring of DWS seems like croneyism. That DOES make this a choice between the lesser of two evils.<br /><br />I'm realistic in that I KNOW that no candidate is perfect, but we can't pretend that Hillary isn't a disappointing choice for a lot of progressive democrats.

Sanders, none at all. that members of the DNC favored HRC is no great shock. after all, she, unlike Sanders, has tirelessly worked for the Democrat Party, for the past 30 years. during that time, she has made lots and lots of friends/connections, throughout the Democratic Party, while Sen. Sanders has made it a point, for that same time period, to ensure people knew he wasn't a Democrat. so why should the DNC favor him again?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016253077154756564.post-71862623890843824832016-08-03T09:32:51.831-04:002016-08-03T09:32:51.831-04:00Hillary may often display bad judgement, particula...Hillary may often display bad judgement, particularly when it comes to optics. But if you think there is a perfect politician out there, (including Bernie) you are mistaken. Every politician has things that can be criticized, but your criticism is pretty small scale in the scheme of things. In fact I don't even think it is anywhere near the most damning criticism you could level at Hillary.Linus Bernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861330216312206879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016253077154756564.post-92037330004889419062016-08-03T08:46:02.340-04:002016-08-03T08:46:02.340-04:00I'm one of those people who is really struggli...I'm one of those people who is really struggling with the idea of her being the lesser of two evils. Trump is an abomination, but the last straw for me was her hiring of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. While we are still getting the details about how deep the DNC scandal is, I think it's clear that DWS was involved in some pretty dramatic favoritism. The fact that Hillary hired her before the dust had settled gave a strong impression that Hillary didn't really care how the scandal shook out. She was willing to help her land on her feet, before even knowing the degree of guilt. <br /><br />I agree that the message from the right (and carried by the media) is an unfair portrayal, but how should I reconcile this in my head? I know I sound like a crazy Bernie supporter, but I was really excited about a candidate, and feel like power was taken from me by the DNC. It didn't look like he'd win regardless, but now we'll never really know how he would have done had it been an even playing field. <br /><br />Either way, the idea of a Trump win is horrifying, but giving up on my ideals feels pretty yucky as well. One is preferable to the other, but I have trouble NOT feeling like this is a choice between two bad candidates.
