I wonder which candidate this will benefit. I hope Obama makes some sort of public statement regarding this:

    Exactly. Once again, the rigged game shows it's hand. And all the more reason to support the one candidate who has a chance in hell of changing this nonsense.

    The more the DNC schemes to make sure their preferred candidate tops Bernie, the more votes they are likely to lose.

    From Robert Reich today:
    According to today’s Washington Post, the Democratic National Committee has quietly reversed restrictions banning donations from federal lobbyists and political action committees -- restrictions that were put in place by Barack Obama when he was the Democratic candidate for president in 2008. (The DNC’s sweeping reversal of the previous was confirmed by three Democratic lobbyists who said they have already received solicitations from the DNC.) According to the Post, Hillary Clinton has set up a joint fundraising committee with the DNC and the new rules are likely to provide her with an advantage.


    To my mind, this is the worst aspect of insider-dominated crony capitalism – the rigging of our system by big money. It’s exactly what Americans are reacting against in this election. It’s precisely what the movement to take back our democracy and economy from the moneyed interests is all about. The DNC appears to be nothing but siphon for more corruption.

    What do you think

    I think Hillary and the DNC are really fucking scared given how much money Bernie raised immediately after New Hampshire.
