Didn't they just run David Hogg out of the DNC?

Somebody recently argued to me that his election was "fraudulent". Interesting way to put it.

They went to court and successfully argued that they don't have to follow their own rules.

They selectively care about the rules when it suits them.

Like how any excuse stopped them from enacting their campaign promises, but the Leahy law was completely meaningless when they wanted to keep selling weapons for the genocide they wanted.
