It's also interesting to see that out in the real world, lack of understanding of the process has real consequences. Many of us have been trying to make that point for a while now.

Why is the Indiana Democratic Party not assisting the people's choice in their representatives to the convention?

Why is labor not being represented?

Looks a lot like a good ole boy network to me.

Not surprised based on the wonderful job the Indiana Democratic Party does in getting democrats elected in the state.

There are labor union members throughout the whole structure of the party. From precinct committee persons to state party. Cordelia Lewis Burks a member of AFSCME is Vice Chair of the Party. David Frye is a DNC Member and a member of the Laborers Union. There are also many union members that are officers at the District and County level.

As for labor being represented at the national convention as delegates they can't get elected if they don't run. And there are only so many slots available and there were many running for those slots.

Laying the blame entirely on the Indiana Democratic Party is a mistake. Indiana is no different than any other state that tends to be red. Especially when legislative districts were created to favor the Republican Party. Electing Democrats requires voters to actually vote. If they only vote sporadically it doesn't help. Campaigns are also only as good as the volunteers that are involved.

As for good ole boy network you need to check the requirement by the Indiana Democratic Party. Precinct and Vice Precinct committee persons cannot be the same gender. Chairs and Vice Chairs for county, district and state party cannot be the same gender. Chairs and Vice Chairs of each district are members of the state central committee.

You're too literal.

Is it not the responsibility of the Indiana Democratic party to control and coordinate the activities of the democratic organization in the state?

Do they not have the responsibility to get democrats elected in the state?

It makes no difference if Indiana operates like other states. Indiana is the state in this topic. And it seems like it seems to be having some difficulty.

BTW, perhaps you might have provided a link to the convention.

Oh yeah, that's right. It isn't there.

And now back to the questions you're avoiding?

...your posts, too.

Thank you.

Based on the content of your post it was very hard to tell if it was a status report on Indiana delegate dealings, a Bernie bashing thread (well, actually a bash of the Bernie people (democrats) who were doing their job for their candidate), or a gungho Hillary post.

As I said, perhaps you should have done three different posts in three areas. That way there would have been no confusion.

So we'll just leave it as it is.

BTW, I was serious about the party web page. If you look for a report on the convention it pops a 404. Since you have better contacts with them, maybe you can pass it on.

Sanders doesn't get any more delegates than was allocated based on the election results. He doesn't and won't get them all.

Also, this group is not the place for you.

in which you participated. Those activities dealt specifically with the Indiana delegation.

I never made any reference to the number of delegates, nor did I imply that anyone should get more than that determined by the primary totals. I am concerned about the vote I cast. Or is that not permitted under the ToS?

Perhaps you posted it in the wrong place.

Maybe it ought to be in Indiana.

You did not asked specific questions that involved my direct participation.

You asked the following:

Who won the primary in Indiana? --- You already knew the answer to that.

Why is the Indiana Democratic Party not assisting the people's choice in their representatives to the convention? --- I gave you an answer.

Why is labor not being represented? --- I gave you an answer.

Looks a lot like a good ole boy network to me. --- I gave you an answer.

As for your question about your concern with the vote you cast. You could had attended the state convention since it was in Indy. It would be best to talk to someone from the Bernie group in Indiana. Your vote made it possible to have delegates to the national convention. And it doesn't change anything. This is also not the Bernie Sanders group.

Your input on what we discuss here is neither required nor desired.

that with Trump being the R nominee, this gives OUR side a chance to strengthen in this state. That would be good to see.

Sorry you went through this at convention.

Recently the Cook Report revised the outcome from Hard Republican to Likely Republican.
