So you would support the popular vote and pledged delegate vote being overturned and the voice of the people being silenced because you agree with the losing candidate more?

Ah, the old fuck it.

This feels like a major schism in party theology. The Holy King Ad-Rock says that, lo, you must fight for your right to party.

Is this a deep Martin Luther King Jr. vs. Malcolm X problem here?

He's a symptom of how frustrating the Sanders campaign has become to people who care about actual progressive reform and change instead of just Bernie Sanders. DWS has not done a great job as the DNC chair, I'll cop to that. She's also on her way out of that position anyway- DNC chairs pretty much never stay for longer than a single cycle. Her actual legislative work, however, is reasonable progressive. She is not a moderate in any way, but 2+ milllion dollars of progressive money has been spent on a fruitless primary challenge against her in a district that Bernie couldn't even win to begin with. That money could have gone to challenging actual blue dogs or pushing for wins in vacant GOP house seats.

So basically, she has an awesome name either way.
