I didn't just throw the term conspiracy theory around. Pretending that the DNC's lawyers explaining the fact that the DNC can just choose its candidate in backroom dealings is equivalent to admitting that the DNC actually did choose its candidate in that manner and then manipulated election counts as the article and its commenters claim is full-blown conspiracy theory. Likewise, insinuating that the DNC rigged the Iowa caucus in some way merely because it drew up the contract for the voting app is also conspiracy theory. You can simply look at the contract and verify that they did not ask for rigging or the ability to change the app, only the ability to test the app and access its logs.

> You can simply look at the contract and verify that they did not ask for rigging or the ability to change the app Hahaha. Anyway, most of the reaction I've seen to this is less of the "conspiracy theory" variety, and more, "wow Tom Perez and the DNC leadership are totally incompetent and need to be fired yesterday." Whether we reach that point through the "conspiracy theory" door or the "incompetence" door, it's obvious they need to go.

You need to watch the Jimmy Dore interview of ACTUAL DELEGATES exposing how ridiculous and rigged the process really is behind the scenes. It's not a "Conspiracy Theory" it's just the way the DNC(/RNC) works and always has. I'm frankly surprised you're so shocked by this. It's nothing new, read a book about Tammany Hall as a well-worn reference. NEWS FLASH: POLITICIANS ARE DIRTY. Don't be niave.
