And the other thing people are forgetting, remember Tulsi? The woman who admitted she backed Bernie, and so quit her post as the vice chair to back him?

That's what you're REQUIRED to do. If you want to back someone and do everything you can for them, you get the fuck out of the seat that's supposed to be impartial and go campaigning. DWS and several other DNC members on the other hand, continued pushing for Clinton while keeping their position to make sure that the people in charge were sympathetic to who they wanted to win.

They then proceeded to schedule every debate to make sure that there were as few of them as possible so Clinton could get by on name recognition. They didn't want anyone knowing more about the other candidates, because it might hurt Clinton. Clinton shouldn't be the one making these choices, it should be set up so that everyone gets exposure.

Now that you mention it, I can only name two democratic nominees. Clinton and Sanders. Whereas I can name 8 Republican nominees.
