Two-thirds of DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee members are corporate lobbyists or corporate consultants, including ten at-large DNC members appointed by DNC Chair Tom Perez.
Two-thirds of DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee members are corporate lobbyists or corporate consultants
The operative verb is “are”, which is present tense. Can you verify, with sources, that “two-thirds of DNC rules and bylaws committee members are corporate lobbyists or corporate consultants” at this very moment? Or was that true 4 years ago, and we have no idea whether it’s still true today?
Facts matter, and truth matters. If you’re taking the position that only the appearance of truth is sufficient, then you’re no better than the walking word vomit himself.
Here’s you 52 minutes ago: “it sounds plausible and logical, but that doesn’t actually translate to being true.”

Now seeing as you have so much freetime to lurk my profile in an attempt to discredit me, maybe you can better spend your time researching the other members currently sitting on the committee, because as I’ve now shown at least half of those names are still serving in their role, while others have been moved into other positions of power. Some I could not track down, so I was not able to verify their current status.
I’m an Australian, I should not be the one here spending their free time looking into your democracy to hold it accountable. This is your civic responsibility to inform yourself.
