      I know the screenshot brigades can't be bothered to watch a 3 minute segment, but I said I was *not* alleging outright rigging, just that the DNC is using arbitrary criteria to disadvantage certain candidates (which Bennet/Steyer/Williamson have also said)https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1165640388574470145 …

      “using arbitrary criteria to disadvantage certain candidates” not a bad description of “rigging” actually.

      "Rigging" implies a concerted, conscious effort to prop up a particular candidate and disadvantage their opponent, which is what happened in 2016

          It could also imply the same for "certain candidates" and "opponents". There's no logical reason to let media elites like @daveweigel confine the definition of "rigging" to such a specific historical scenario.

          I am alleging rigging. The DNC did not stop doing sanctioned polls after July 31st. They stopped releasing sanctioned polls where Gabbard exceeded 2%. The Monmouth garbage poll was the first on that had Gabbard at 1% so they released it. This is not rocket science.

          No, it doesn't have to be that specific. Any artificial manipulation is a form of "rigging," and yes, they're obviously doing it again.

          The DNC knew that their polling criteria would tend to exclude lesser known candidates and give established candidates an advantage. The same is true with the increased time granted to higher polling candidates on the debate stage. Call a spade a spade, Michael.

          If one was to go further & analyze the delegate rules, the superdelegate rules & how this primary has been setup it would be easy to say the DNC has rigged it so they can select the candidate of their choice while giving an appearance that Bernie & Tulsi have a chance to win.

          What the Democrats did in collusion with the media organizations hosting the debates to candidates like Dennis Kucinich and mike Gravel in 2008 was also rigging, even if nobody noticed it at the time.

          But not in 2019? The same people are in place. Frankly, I don’t see much change in the Neera Tandens of this world.

          “concerted, conscious effort to” vs “using arbitrary criteria to” disadvantage candidate. Come on man, distinction without any difference.

          Exactly! Clinton Campaign was in charge of allocating funds DNC brought in & hand picking top level positions w/in the DNC. How can the DNC perform function of keeping the primaries "fair" & "even handed" when 1 campaign is managing how they operate? Rigged by definition
