This is why the Bernie's and the Cornel West's and RFK Jr. are a fool's errand.
There is no righting this ship.
I have to chuckle at RFK Jr. now hawking the idea that we can force the DNC to be fair.
The DNC is a private corporation who has ABSOLUTELY NO REGARD NOR OBLIGATION to the voters.
The first strike against RFK Jr. is still the best -- if he was serious about change he wouldn't have run Democrat.
So now he's run up against what he knew from the start and wants to convince people that they can force the DNC to change.
It's ludicrous and even if he were having a 60's flashback when he thinks it was better, guess what? It's never been any different. They were just better at hiding it.

In the 60s most of the states didn't have primaries. The party decided directly who got the votes.
Nothing is different - can't have the unwashed making choices they are not fit to make.
The only appreciable difference is our level of naivete.
And even that is arguable.
So if Team D were to have, for instance, a whites-only primary, you'd be good with that?
? Where did that come from?
I'm over caring what the Ds do.
Perhaps I misapprehended your comment, i thought that you were defending Team D because "hey, it's still better than what they used to fo!"
