Your argument is that she was controlling the party finances, My problem with that argument is that you are simply proving what was wrong with Bernie. He could have done everything listed in the article and chose not to.
The only part here that Brazile actually had a problem with was the control of refusal of staff. Victory Funds are normal, it was that one part. Bernie chose to run as a Democrat, but stay independent of the party and only worry about himself.
If he had used his own joint victory fund, then the argument of funding goes away right there.
I still see that the VICTORY FUND and AGREEMENT were done very prematurely and supposed to be done after nomination
"The agreement—signed by Amy Dacey, the former CEO of the DNC, and Robby Mook with a copy to Marc Elias—specified that in exchange for raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised. Her campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.
When the party chooses the nominee, the custom is that the candidate’s team starts to exercise more control over the party. If the party has an incumbent candidate, as was the case with Clinton in 1996 or Obama in 2012, this kind of arrangement is seamless because the party already is under the control of the president. When you have an open contest without an incumbent and competitive primaries, the party comes under the candidate’s control only after the nominee is certain. When I was manager of Al Gore’s campaign in 2000, we started inserting our people into the DNC in June. This victory fund agreement, however, had been signed in August 2015, just four months after Hillary announced her candidacy and nearly a year before she officially had the nomination."
I wish Bernie would have come out with it when he found out. Why he helped hide that and back Hilary is beyond me. Just sick how much trash work in these political camps. Fair doesn't exist in this country regarding elections.

Hillarys just smiling like a Cheshire cat knowing how it all went down. Gross. At that moment a lot of Bernie supporters turned to Trump. I don't blame them at all. Most of us just realized there was no need to participate in the garbage clean up.
Once the nomination was secured, realistically, he had two choices: help Hillary or help Trump. Clearly, he felt that Trump was the worse of the two candidates, and I agree. They are both corrupt, but Trump is dangerous.
You are mashing together different parts of the article.
It says control of party staff happens after the nomination, not the joint victory funds.
No it doesn't. That's a flat out lie. Man you guys are running for most #fakenews posted in a single day award.
