Oh no! Should Bernie's camp be concerned?
Are the half a dozen DNC members trying to run away with the votes?

If they actually try something like this they'd massively piss off a lot of Bernie supporters who will then stay home in far bigger numbers than in 2016 and Trump will cruise to re-election. These DNC members would rather commit general election suicide than have President Bernie.
It just mentions 6 people. There are supposedly over 200 members https://democrats.org/who-we-are/about-the-democratic-party/
Please let's not begin throwing alt right accusation of DNC rigging against Sanders again.
This would allow media to post super delegate votes in the delegate tallies during the primary, wouldn't it.
stop falling for these articles about a handful of bitter folks who don't like bernie. they're not going to change the rules, lol.
and they wonder why we lose slam dunk elections. Mother Fuckers
More than they want Bernie to win, for sure.
Keep in mind that its customary for the Dem. President to choose a DNC chair, so Bernie winning would rock the SHIT out of their cushy, corrupt asses (and their jobs). Expect nothing but the worst from Perez & Co.
The article itself says leadership refused the random assholes' request!
But we must have the ammunition to cry RIGGED.
Politico got what they wanted. Clicks. Democrats are gonna lose if we keep falling for obvious BS.
This feels like just another Bernout conspiracy theory. If we were going to rig the primaries again through rules it would have already been done.
Bernie's a huge variance candidate in a race we don't want to lose certainly can't afford to lose big.
Instead expect party leaders to get into a more active role in torpedoing him if he takes early stages.

You're probably right, but as a layman, I have no idea what it takes to make these rule changes. I also don't know how much pull these 6 have with the other members. This should be quickly followed up with the other 194 members telling them to knock it the fuck off.
Yep, this is pure clickbait for those looking to scream "RIGGED!!"
Lol yeah, this is pretty obviously a handful of bitter old timers without any ability to do anything. The DNC obviously has issues, but most of those issues are about being a bunch of bumbling idiots running in 17 different directions at once, not about being a dangerous cabal capable of pulling of this sort of shadow coup.
I expect to see this on the frontpage of reddit tomorrow with the headline "DNC privately begins inquiry into blocking Sanders"
Official Staff Communication
Locking because a) this is kinda just nonsense and b) the extent to which it isn't can be discussed in the Primary OT
