It's called not using your position of leadership to put your finger on the scales for your preferred candidate.

Unlike DWS, Tulsi had the ethical core to step down before endorsing a candidate.

DWS just kept trying to futz with the scale and the debates to favor her candidate.

So you're seriously denying the fact that the democratic establishment doesn't worship the ground the Clinton's walk on?

C'mon.

Seriously.

Many elected democrats rely on that Clinton money machine and their connections, I mean it's pretty well documented.

DWS has made decisions regarding for instance the debates she claimed were discussed with the co-chairs, but that was a lie. DWS has made decisions unilaterally w/o consulting anyone but the Clinton campaign.

She had to RESIGN to show the same support for her candidate that every pro-Clinton DNC member is allowed to trumpet from the rooftops in words, actions, and policies.
