What evidence do we have, that the people who would conspire to do it then, aren't doing it now. Was anyone punished? You say the Chair changed, but did it change to someone better? What about everyone else? What about the donors the DNC is beholden to? Their governance?

Are you saying the DNC is clean and fair now?

What evidence do we have, that the people who would conspire to do it then, aren’t doing it now.

The fact that it's different people...

Was anyone punished?

Punished for what? What laws do you think were broken?

You say the Chair changed, but did it change to someone better?

Yes, Ken Martin. He ran Minnesota for a decade.

What about everyone else?

The vice chairs? I don't know who you're even talking about, but the chair has full power

What about the donors the DNC is beholden to?

Take their money and then just not do what they want... The only negative is they're stop trying to buy us off, but take their money anyways, you'd be an absolute idiot not to when the fight is this serious.

Are you saying the DNC is clean and fair now?

I've typed it so much my thumbs are turning blue, at least you're starting to wonder if what I keep saying is what I'm actually saying.

I find your answers honest, but unsatisfying and just a touch naive.
