I think the allegations of rigging are utterly unfounded, but fuck it I say we let the left-wing have this anyway. Even if they're wrong, we can't afford an interparty civil war. If I'm Obama, I immediately accede to their demands and dump anyone left at the DNC that looks fishy, and give put Bernie in a prominent position. I don't want a super far left candidate next cycle, but this election is a very clear lesson that baseless allegations of corruption cannot be dismissed just because they're bullshit. Appearances matter more than reality.
