The party establishment's fight against Bernie was extremely ill-advised. He organized tens of millions of voters who had been sitting on the sidelines, most of whom were titular, but non-participants in the electoral process due to alienation on many issues: Coddling Wall Street, voting to let Bush invade and occupy Iraq, repealing Glass-Stegall, voting for the useless F-135, backing fracking and for-profit prisons. Bernie's initiative got them to change themselves at last. That idiot Debbie Wasserman Schultz gave away the opportunity for dozens of hours of free air time in debates, but she scheduled only five, and made sure they conflicted with the Superbowl, etc. She also used the mandated impartial DNC to intervene heavily against Bernie and she and her four top appointments, the Executive (Amy Dacey), Finance (Brad Marshall) and Communications (Luis Miranda) directors and spokesperson (Brad Paustenberg), all resigned with her the week of the Democratic National Convention.
