How Hillary Clinton Bought the Loyalty of 33 State Democratic Parties
Wow, just baffling news. Explains how Hillary bought the party, and used them to funnel money to her campaign, and how the party is basically pandering to her campaign (not that reasonable people didn't already expect as much). Basically, big-time donors can't give huge lump sums to Hillary, but they can give individual contributions of $10K to each state's Democratic Party who in turn turns around and donates it back to the DNC and Clinton campaigns, with a sliver of money going to benefit the super-delegates to create a mutually beneficial exchange for their loyalty (hence them being bought out). There's 33 state Democratic Party offices participating in this scheme. So each donor can give each of the 33 states $10K, double that if they donate for their spouse, and double that if donations made in 2015 and again in 2016, for a total of $1.32 million donations per contributor. The state parties are then writing the money back to the DNC and Clinton campaigns. This is so messed up. Cenk goes on to say how the DNC is snubbing the Sanders campaign by refusing to set up debates, and even in the upcoming New York debate before one of the biggest debates for the biggest basket of delegates they purposefully decided to host it during the same night as the NCAA championship game. Fucked. This election for the Democratic Party ticket is a big fraud. I'm really split on the idea of the Bernie or bust movement but how can anybody who sees the extent the Clinton alliance in the Democratic Party has gone to subvert Democracy, how can we support that? It sickens me, as a liberal it utterly sickens me.
