Tldr:
After the 2016 primaries, Sanders supporters filed a class action lawsuit against the DNC for conspiring to give the nomination to Clinton, effectively, they claimed, defrauding Sanders campaign donors. The DNC's official response in court was "So? We had no obligation to not do that. And even if we did, you knew we were doing it so you can't claim that you weren't forewarned." The court agreed with that assessment, and the case was dismissed.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoThe "So?" isn't part of their argument. At no point did they say that they conspired to give the election to Clinton. The only argument the DNC presented that is part of the article is the "even if we did" argument, which does not imply that they did.
