Yea. Fraud is a very serious law/crime in the US.
How did they commit fraud in the legal sense? The reason I ask is that it is my understanding that no laws were broken. They were just being super shady and underhanded about what they did.

They didn't lose the election because of internal strife and mischief. They lost it because the party was talking about tranny restrooms while Trump pointed out real problems and came up with "plain folk" solutions. Regardless of how achievable "building a wall" may be, he was (believe it or not) the one perceived to spend less time in lala land!

The point is that if the left had any moral fiber, any true gumption, any heart at all they would be trying to fix their broken party. One that is now known to be full of elite fraudsters.

That's your party. It's broken. And you people don't even try to get rid of the ones intentionally trying to deceive their party of "progress".

They probably didn't commit fraud in a "legal" sense. But you can't argue that they didn't defraud the people they are supposed to represent.

Just because a law isn't broken doesn't mean people haven't committed acts which they need to be held accountable for.

The DNC has lost all credibility. How do you restore credibility if you don't take any step to correct it?

I don't know what defines "adequately"

I'm just telling you why it became a non story so quickly

How or why would they be jailed- the CO GOP cancelled their primary entirely- should they go to jail?

If I think the Country Club rigged a board election to decide who heads up the Charity Pro-Am can I ask they be prosecuted?

Private Organizations have the right to decide their own election procedures.

The proper term is "involuntary suicide"

How the hell are institutions that facilitate our elections categorized as "private organizations"?

Are you seriously arguing that it's okay that no one in that whole ordeal is held accountable?

Well primary rules and regulations are exclusively handled by the parties which are private Organizations.

And the debate questioning was troubling, but Bernie was beaten handily so that didn't seem like "rigging."

And they're wrong. The primary, unlike the general election, really wasn't even close. I voted for Bernie in the primary, and I've have loved for him to win, but he didn't, and it's not because of anything the DNC did.

The only matter discussed in the DNC emails that could rise to the level of interference is the one from the idiot saying they should arrange for someone to ask Bernie if he believes in God. But clearly no one ever did that. I'd feel better if I new that guy had been pushed out along with DWS, but that's my only gripe.

The emails discussing how they wanted to get the story out that Bernie's campaign was disorganized were legit. Bernie's campaign WAS disorganized, they were already blaming their failure on the DNC, and I think it's legit for the DNC to defend themselves in that instant.

That's the same argument that the Texas Democratic Party used in the 1940s when they disallowed blacks from participating in the primary.

quote:

Smith v. Allwright, 321 U.S. 649 (1944), was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court with regard to voting rights and, by extension, racial desegregation.

It overturned the Texas state law that authorized the Democratic Party to set its internal rules, including the use of white primaries.

The court ruled that it was unconstitutional for the state to delegate its authority over elections to the Democratic Party in order to allow discrimination to be practiced.

And "you people" are still getting bent over by a bunch of establishment pricks like Paul Ryan....frickin John McCain and Linsey Graham are still sittin pretty. I do have to give it to you. You pushed Trump through. But you get the point.

The dems lost for a number of reasons. They ran a partisan lifer hag in a change election year, alienated their base by colluding to sabotage their true change candidate. I think it played a large part in them losing, so in that sense my point stands, they certainly didn't skate.
