Really smh at those in the establishment, media, "fact-checkers" (yes, in quotes for a reason), etc. saying "move along, nothing to see here".
The video is quite clear. Democracy was subverted at the Nevada convention.

(9,086 posts)People who get their news from TV, filtered through the corporate spin machine, they support Hillary.
The video is one thing, but we also have several credible eye witnesses who back it up.

(62,276 posts)They waited 40 minutes to do the rules (note the rules were not "changed" the temporary rules were voted to be made permanent).
The 10 am deadline was for late registrants.
jillan
(39,451 posts)That vote was held BEFORE the check-in time.

(62,276 posts)Before registration closed.
jillan

(341 posts). . . announced and recorded by the chairwoman was. Look at her body and facial language, how quickly she spoke and gaveled to get the sham into the record. And most telling of all, in seeing so many people not buying the sham she was trying to stuff down their throat, how quickly and obviously irritated she was in announcing and gaveling the close of the convention and how quickly she got the hell out of there.
Video don't lie.

(341 posts)"Right-wing conspiracy". Repugs are out to beat ALL Dems politically, as nastily as possible. It's repugnant, but normal, when nasty political people nastily go after their opponents. Elevating that to a "conspiracy" against your individual person is unwarranted.

If it's on the internet it can't be a lie after all.
