In reply to the discussion: Roberta Lange Illegally Ends Nevada Convention #nvdemconvention [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)procedures are above reproach and heal divisions in a group. They insure fairness to all in meetings.
The refusal to use Robert's Rules of Order was like a smack in the face to Bernie supporters. Robert's Rules of Order are a neutral set of rules to use.
The Nevada convention was ruled by Hillary's Supporters' Rules -- not a smart move unless Hillary's supporters are trying to get the Bernie or Bust voters to stay home in November. Apparently Hillary thinks her poll numbers are good enough without Bernie voters who she can insult and offend them all she wants.
I disagree on that point. She needs to make a rapprochement with Bernie voters if she wants to win in November.
Bernie supporters exist in part because a good portion of Democrats and Independents do not like the Clintons and especially don't like Hillary. This does not show up in polls of Democratic voters to be as strong a dislike as it is. The polling questions are not good at determining in-depth the attitudes of the voters in a situation like that of the Democratic Party now.
