The party rewarded Leiberman with a VP nod. He wasn’t a member of the party either, but I guess he returned the favor by blocking the public option for them.

Bernie wasn’t nominated because he wasn’t a Democrat. AOC is a loyal Democrat, and if she gets the primary votes, and the DNC still won’t nominate her, then that’s the end of the Democratic Party.

Or we’ll see you come up with a new excuse for the party ignoring its own rules again.
