yeah unless it specifically says "this doesn’t take affect until you’ve won" that disclaimer is meaningless

Well, after reading the article I'm glad that the integrity of the DNC remains intact. Extremely heartening to learn that the deal was entirely limited to the general election and not the primary.

As we are all well aware, power dynamics don't exist, and someone paying all your expenses and being entirely responsible for your existence will not affect your decision making in the least.

Similarly, it's okay for bosses to ask their employees out, because they can always say no. It's also okay to pay inmates $1/hr to fight wildfires, because it's completely voluntary.

an ideal Marxist society would have no corporate tax, therefore Trump’s proposal to cut corporate taxes is clearly a move to the left

yeah so the whole "it didn't effect the primaries!" stuff is bullshit. the memo specifically states that one of hillary's chosen communication chairs has to be hired by september 11, 2015

the whole "this memo should not be construed as..." stuff is window dressing and a pinky swear at best that the control being given to hillary clinton would not be misused during the primary

as per the emails released earlier on, that pinky swear was broken and the DNC was working on hillary's behalf

it's amazing all the centrists falling all over themselves to say "well bernie could've entered into an agreement like this too! it says so in the memo"

completely ignoring that the agreement specifically says the DNC has to pick from hillary's chosen candidates and the dnc never offered any such deal to bernie sanders

Yeah the memo is a great example of legalese where you do A and then sign a document calling it B and then magically you did B.

It's like signing a mortgage with a mandatory arbitration clause and the contract says it's voluntarily chosen by both parties (but the signer has no choice to not voluntarily take it)

sure winning helps and all but when you're dealing with rigged systems, where's the principle in that so its moot to bring that point up

Yeah, but if he had only brought up the Wall Street speeches earlier, he could've taken Iowa, NH, and the primary. (Then lost the general because Bloomberg ran as a spoiler).

That's not the worst part. The worst part that all the libs are choosing to ignore is:

"If asked by a state party, the DNC will encourage the state party to become a participant in the Victory Fund."

Victory fund as in Hillary Victory Fund. The DNC is required to encourage state parties to join the Hillary Victory Fund. "Hey, please ask all the state parties to join the Hillary team. This does not affect your neutrality in the primary."

problem is it doesn't actually say "doesn't apply till the general." in fact, provisions of the agreement definitely applied well beforehand
