>I wonder why she resigned right before the convention.
When there's a scandal you tend to try and ensure at the very least to distance yourself from those who caused the scandal, hence why she left "right before the convention", I just do not understand why you want to die on this hill that there's a grand conspiracy to keep bernie from winning the 2016 DNC nomination.
These are corporate donations, which btw Democrats gets more and yet have been pushing for more anti-trust cases and been the most pro-union government in almost 20 years and this is the smoking gun of "corporate shills in the Democrats!"?
And again I bet you didn't read my link did you? When you look at rich partisan donors which has way more direct influence than corporate donors, it does sync up with what the democrats have been pushing for (ultra progressive social issues).

I'm not dying on any hill, especially for the farce that is modern politics. They are all corrupt, both parties. I typically support whomever is in office because I want to country to succeed, and they've all disappointed me.
I'm sorry you can't see it, just keep that in the back of your head when you consume political news. Try to watch both sides, it might become clearer. Keep in mind, each news source has a favorite and they typically won't report on the bad things their favorite does, you have to find that elsewhere. It's like having a defendant with no prosecutor and vice versa.

Their remedy for Google is to have them divest Chrome? That's not meaningful at all. How many mergers have they allowed in the last 20 years? Mergers are by nature anti-competitive. They just allowed Activision-Blizzard merger that cost 1900 jobs so far. This is what donations from Google buys, a slap on the wrist by still allowing the Democrats to look like they actually did something; spoiler, they didn't. This also pretty much ensures Google won't face any other anti-trust legislation, at least from the Democrats, probably in my lifetime. Pat on the back, job well done.
Thinking about it, this is the exact same remedy they wanted for Microsoft in the late 90s. That is just for show and no real anti-monopoly remedy. We need real breakups like AT&T in the mid 80s. Something that restores competition and jobs. You won't find any of that from today's Democrats.
Remember when the Obama administration bailed out the banks but let everyone else in trouble lose their house and a deep discount? I sure do.

They have done almost nothing legislatively to reverse the damage the GOP has done to unions. They also support neoliberal economic theory and globalization, just like the GOP. Talk about killing jobs. NAFTA was pitched to the public supported by Clinton/Gore. Ross Perot, of all people was the lone objector in the 1992 race, stating "We have got to stop sending jobs overseas. It's pretty simple: If you're paying $12, $13, $14 an hour for factory workers and you can move your factory South of the border, pay a dollar an hour for labor, ... have no health care—that's the most expensive single element in making a car— have no environmental controls, no pollution controls and no retirement, and you don't care about anything but making money, there will be a giant sucking sound going south."
Today's Democrats are all talk and no action because the public buys that and they don't risk their donor's affection. We used to call this "lip service." Keep believing they are actually doing something; and that's what they will keep doing: nothing but lip service.
