The president often had a weak, raspy voice during his first debate against Trump, in what Democrats had hoped would be a turning point in the race.

Here’s your fucking link. Now don’t read it, immediately dismiss it and demand even more granular proof of what I initially said.

Okay. But I got no idea what “DE 54, at 36:22-24” is supposed to mean. I’ve never seen this before. And the first thing I noticed is that Bernie Sanders has nothing to do with this because he’s not an idiot.

and the judge agreed

Dude what part of "The Court does not accept this trivialization of the DNC’s governing principles. " do you not understand? The judge did not agree that the charter can be dismissed. The judge dismissed the case because plaintiff did not prove any acts of impartiality.

Which you already know and are ignoring in bad faith

Go fuck off with your god damn lies. You don’t know shit about me. You are the only one who cares about Kremlin progaganda from 8 years ago. Normal people do not.

If every bad faith centrist who claims they voted for Sanders in the primary actually had

You aren’t talking about me. Because I did vote for Sanders twice, and am not a “centrist”. You only heard of Sanders when he ran for president in 2016 right? I was a fan of Sanders since before he became a senator when he was just a congressman in the 1990’s.

[But they do not allege they ever heard or acted upon the DNC’s claims of neutrality.]

The random person filing this lawsuit is not even alleging that the DNC failed to act impartial. She is apparently alleging that DWS PRIVATELY expressed support for Clinton. So what?

[The DNC’s bias, according to Plaintiffs, came to light after computer hackers penetrated the DNC’s computer network. An individual identified as “Guccifer 2.0"]

You know this is Putin right? You were played by Putin so he could get stooge Traitorapest Trump elected. Doesn’t that embarrass you? Sanders was outraged more than any other Dem about Trump’s gigantic tax cuts for billionaires. So everybody who fell for Kremlin propaganda let down Bernie Sanders.

[The DNC and Wasserman Schultz argue that

  1. Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims,

  2. that they have insufficiently pled those claims,

  3. and that the class allegations must be stricken as facially deficient.]

NONE OF THEIR 3 ARGUMENTS are claiming that they don’t have to follow the charter. WHY ARE YOU WASTING MY TIME?

[For their part, the DNC and Wasserman Schultz have characterized the DNC charter’s promise of “impartiality and evenhandedness” as a mere political promise]

First of all this is the judge characterizing that DWS is characterizing something. None of these are direct quotes. THE JUDGE DID NOT SAY THAT THIS WAS ONE IF THE 3 ARGUMENTS of the DNC in the case. We would have the have the original direct quotes of DWS to know if she was seriously pretending that she could ignore the charter. If we had such quotes than DWS would have been immediately fired from the DNC, if she hadn’t already quit.

[While it may be true in the abstract that the DNC has the right to have its delegates “go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way,” DE 54, at 36:22-24, the DNC, through its charter, has committed itself to a higher principle. ]

So even in the absolute worst case interpretation of this, there is nothing about the DNC claiming the right to dismiss its delegates. And There is nothing about the DNC claiming the delegates don’t have the right to chose the nominee. Which you are implying. WHY ARE YOU WASTING MY TIME?

Deciding in smoke filled rooms involves ignoring the charter entirely. Which the party argued in court that they could do. But they can’t now. Because centrist.

Russia didn’t force them to make that argument in court.

If you ever have a thought that isn’t a Clinton/Biden/Netanyahu talking point, let me know.

Bullshit. What was the exact quote made by DWS? You have no supporting quote made by anybody in the DNC for that argument in the document. We would need the full trial transcript to know whether DWS was seriously pretending she could ignore the charter. If you want to be taken seriously, show me an exact quote made by a DNC member in the trial transcript. If you had been able to do that I would say “good job on that” and fully agree that that particular individual should have never worked at the DNC BUT VAGUE CHARACTERIZATIONS ARE WORTHLESS.

According to the document there were exactly 3 arguments.

[The DNC and Wasserman Schultz argue that

  1. Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims,

  2. that they have insufficiently pled those claims,

  3. and that the class allegations must be stricken as facially deficient.]

Deciding in smoke filled rooms involves ignoring the charter entirely.

Even if that had been an actual argument supported by a quote from a DNC member, this is still 100% false. The charter doesn’t say the delegates have to meet in a no smoking building. It just says the delegates pick the candidate. They could meet in any building they wanted to vote on the candidate. Your assertion that the executive committee could legally ignore the general delegates is completely absurd.

Oh, now DWS still runs the DNC?

No. The party argued in court that if they wanted to, they could select their nominee in a smoke filled back room and ignore their charter.

But now they totally can’t because and only because Biden is supporting genocide for them and they don’t want him to stop.
