The Myth Of Incompetence: DNC Scandals Are A Feature, Not A Bug

Following the failure of an extremely shady app developed by vocally anti-Sanders establishment insiders which reportedly was literally altering vote count numbers after they were entered, Black Hawk County supervisor Chris Schwartz shared the election results in his county on Facebook so the public could have some idea of what's going on as the Iowa Democratic Party slowly trickles out the results of the caucuses.

What about all the Iowa locations where this did not happen and local Democratic Party officials didn't report their numbers on social media? Does anyone actually believe that the one instance where the IDP got caught is the one instance in which such vote tampering occurred?

"Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez has nominated dozens of lobbyists, corporate consultants, think tank board members, and former officials linked to the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton to serve on the Democratic National Convention nominating committee this July," Kevin Gosztola reported for Grayzone last month.

The flaw in this expectation is its premise that Democratic Party elites care if their party wins in November.

Put yourself in the shoes of one of the leading movers and shakers within the Democratic Party for a minute.

Democratic Party elites are perfectly happy to keep shrieking about Russia for another four years while making sure that the status quo which rewards their manipulative behavior remains intact, and ensuring that they never wind up like those poor suckers out there who are suffering from poverty and lack of healthcare.

"Gosh these Democratic Party leaders are so incompetent!", they say.
