Chairman of the DNC Tom Perez step down
Chairman of the DNC Tom Perez has nominated incredibly questionable choices to the Convention leadership. Choices that show a clear indication they are already planning on creating an unfair convention.
Barney Frank, nominated to the position of co-chair of the Convention Rules committee who has already had tension with the 2016 Sanders campaign
Barney Frank essentially holds the same view of Bernie as Hillary Clinton, Neera Tanden, and all the other DNC elites who rigged the primary process against him last time. Not only that, but evidently his supporters are unrealistic because we expect that our politicians should be beholden to voters as opposed to big money interests. It’s no accident that Tom Perez put this man in a position that could define the fate of Bernie’s campaign and potential nomination.
Even more controversial and dangerous than Barney Frank is John Podesta, also on the Rules Committee, who said in the infamous leaked DNC emails that they needed to make sure Bernie is “ground to a pulp”, and asked “where would you stick the knife in?” If this process was even remotely designed to be fair, this man would not be allowed anywhere near this convention.
Another incredibly questionable choice is Alex Padilla, Vice-chair of the Platform Committee. Padilla gained notoriety for refusing to count 2 million votes in the 2016 California primary, a move that undeniably favored Clinton and handed a massive disadvantage to the Sanders campaign. He was sued for this.
