Look at the protest signs. DEMexit! Noodle that one for a bit.
Remember this issue? Well, it ain't going away. It just hasn't been reported on in a long time but the lawsuit continues.
Here are some notable quotables from the DNC side:
Bruce Spiva, a lawyer for the DNC, argued in its motion to dismiss that the party holds the right to select its candidate any way it chooses and is not bound by pledges of fairness.
“We could have voluntarily decided that, ‘Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way.’ That's not the way it was done. But they could have. And that would have also been their right,” Spiva argued.
Although the Article 5, Section 4 of the Democratic Party charter stipulates that it will function with total neutrality during Democratic primaries, the DNC lawyer argued the promise was non-binding.
“And there's no right to not have your candidate disadvantaged or have another candidate advantaged. There's no contractual obligation here,” he said.
Well, howdoya like that, libs? Your vote in the primary really doesn't count! You could have voted overwhelmingly for Bernie Sanders and you'd still have the DNC's choice shoved down your throat. I guess you don't care because you've accepted your current marching orders and are whining about Hillary forgetting entirely about your disenfranchisement in the primary.
Now, before you go off with a clever retort of, "Republicans do it too," let me remind you: To the RNC establishment, Donald Trump was the LEAST palatable candidate of the 16 or so running. Hell, even I didn't vote for him in the general election. But the fact that he won the primary in spite of his intolerable nature instead of somebody more palatable like Cruz or Rubio tells you that republican primary votes actually count.
Sanders was simply shut out. Barred. Your democratic primary votes are nothing more than play votes. You might as well be first graders play voting and writing names on slips of paper and passing them to the front. Your votes end up in the trash just like theirs.
And clearly it ain't gonna change. So why do you even bother?
