Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumEstablistment Clap Trap
You see, according to Sanders supporters they are Un-democratic and are terrible. They don't seem to understand that the PARTY installed this concept in the 70s to prevent a populist non Democrat to win without the will of the PARTY.
At this stage of the game, the PARTIES are choosing their nominee. This includes votes from PARTY affiliates like you and me, and special votes from PARTY officials. The democratic process of one person one vote applies to the national election. This ain't that.
This is when the PARTY decides who best represents the PARTY.

Funny. I thought the role of a primary was so that VOTERS got to voice their preference, not establishment hacks.

(1,021 posts)1. The PARTY is willing to go into full kamikaze mode to prevent a Sanders win
Good to know that for all their red-baiting, Camp Clinton and the party elites have their own Politburo, and the base is just supposed to toe the line:
This is when the PARTY decides who best represents the PARTY.
Thank you for stooping down to us peons to explain this, Commissar!
"They don't seem to understand that the PARTY installed this concept in the 70s to prevent a populist non Democrat to win without the will of the PARTY"
Translation: "The PARTY elites decided they couldn't entrust democracy to the PARTY base."

They didn't seem to like the Party's rules in 2008, did they?

With the Bloomberg talk by those who claim to be Democrats, I really wonder somtimes. Perhaps it is money over party after all?
