    Reluctantly, I gave the piece a fair shake.

    It’s garbage. We know that the DNC pushed other more moderate candidates out so that a more moderate candidate, one the average democratic voter and independent thinks they want, could win instead of them all splitting the vote. This was obvious, not some conspiracy theory.

    The author of the piece is trying to claim that because one person said they chose a candidate that could beat sanders, that was the ultimate goal. But they wanted to beat sanders because they felt he couldn’t beat trump. They quote one person effectively saying this, but then dishonestly spin it.

    The second quote is one person saying that he thinks sanders policies are bad, as if this proves anything.

    It’s amazing anyone reads this site without realizing how terrible it is.
