Whats the uh.. whats the purpose in pinning this?

Totally get the first part, but with a fast moving story, the klippenstein article, while, good, and frankly, I think more how we should approach these issues.. I guess it already feels out of date and less relevant with the news of the past several hours? Or maybe, I suppose for pinned items I've seen those as more typically "megathread" type content, or "just the facts ma'am" type reporting, but not necessarily editorials, like this one from Ken.

Either way, obv your call, it just seems a bit out of place and less relevant considering we just had a few major twists in the story this afternoon/ evening.

I haven’t been watching the news, I was watching Batman Forever, I haven’t heard anything since he dropped out.

I mean that is the news. Along with the announcement from Maine Democrats about the insider process. An article about either would seem more relevant to pin.

Found one, things are getting crazy.

Yeah. Especially after Platners video, basically denying the allegation in its entirety (which if it is true, he'll be cooked in front of a judge), and throwing insider Dem's under the bus...

THEN to go with the most insider of all insider processes... with super delegates to boot...
