re: #406 NO SMOCKING GUN!

I don’t care about fairness so much as I care about winning. Bernie has young voters who are less energised to vote Democrat than stalwart Democrats like us, so if they think it was unfair, we could lose the election. Clinton showed last time its a fools errand to chase “moderate Republicans” votes like Pete and Amy want. Republicans love Trump. We need to energize our voters. I’d rather win the election than stop Bernie. If Trump wins, our democracy is history.

What Clinton showed last time was that, no matter how fairly the process was run, those youth voters are going to declare the nomination going to anyone but Bernie as “unfair” and walk away. And if they’re a big enough portion of the vote to swing the election, then they’re obviously not the small percentage of Bernie supporters you believe they represent.
