The lawsuit is frivolous.

Because..... when has a communist ever broken the intent of a signed document?

I agree, the suit is going nowhere but it is yet another item on the popcorn list.

Agreed. This suit is going nowhere.

But I am betting the party elders are wishing they never let the Commie enter the primaries. Which they could have done at the very beginning.

I wonder if they let Bernie in to the primaries because they were concerned that he would go 3rd party & siphon off votes. Hoping that he would get creamed in the primaries and his followers would not get pissed and still vote Rat.

In any case, it would be interesting to know why they let Bernie into the primaries. It is a lose lose for the DNC, but that’s what they get for going so far left.

They may lose the lawsuit, but it is not frivolous. The purpose is to drain the Bernie Sanders campaign funds through legal cost. The DNC does not want Bernie to win.

It might have merit. I don’t see how a loyalty pledge should matter. The two plaintiffs aren’t parties to it, and as party members they should have more standing than Sanders.

I rather relish this because the Democrats tripped all over themselves welcoming this communist to caucus with them, then allowing him into their primaries in 2016. The lay down with a dog and they got a lot worse than fleas.

But is it? The loyalty pledge is with the national party, yet I'm pretty sure the state parties run the elections in their own state. Are they bound by everything the national party does?
Also, according to the pledge, the Dem candidates swear that they are members of the Dem party, uphold Dem points, etc. Yet, according to others here, Bernie's already registered for the Senate run in 2024, as an independent. Not to mention I don't think he even superficially rejoined the Dem party for this year's nomination, like he did in 2016.
