Sanders was right about the DNC all along
Three glaring conclusions leap out
from the Democratic National Committee emails — which were released by Wikileaks and resulted in Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s resignation as chairwoman: Emails can be hacked, especially unprotected ones. Emails can be considered hard evidence of what was said and done, and can not be denied — hence the stimulus to delete them.
Proponents of big government champion the concept that the government elite know best what is good for people and should mandate laws and guidelines on how they must live. Therefore, it is entirely consistent with their ideology that the DNC would rig the process to favor the “best” candidate.
Obviously, they know who should run for office better than any uninformed voter on the street. The large number of unbound delegates makes up a significant percentage of the total number of eligible voters ( far more when you consider that the number of people who actually vote is much less than the eligible total) and heavily tip the scales on who is elected.
So much for “one man, one vote.”
In the future, if an adversary elicits concessions from a candidate — with a threat of releasing hacked emails — would that torpedo his or her election?
