Good points, all the way around. And I say that from the actual left. See the Tim Canova election theft case in Florida (against Brenda Snipes and Wasserman-Schultz) and the DNC Fraud lawsuit, from 2016. It's a pattern that keeps repeating...
Though it should be pointed out that it's a DEEP (aka REAL) STATE thing. Sanders got jobbed similarly, twice in a row - and he went along with it, for reasons known only to him. In the case of Tim Canova - an entire State apparatus controlled by Republicans refused to investigate or prosecute Brenda Snipes and DWS.
