The party rewarded Leiberman with a VP nod. He wasn’t a member of the party either, but I guess he returned the favor by blocking the public option for them.
Bernie wasn’t nominated because he wasn’t a Democrat. AOC is a loyal Democrat, and if she gets the primary votes, and the DNC still won’t nominate her, then that’s the end of the Democratic Party.
Or we’ll see you come up with a new excuse for the party ignoring its own rules again.
First of all, VP isn’t president. Also, Lieberman had been a Democrat for most of his career, except the very end when he turned Independent, so maybe there was some dumb Democratic idea that this would bring him back to the fold.
In any case, it didn’t work, and they lost the race, in part because many Democratic voters weren’t thrilled with Lieberman, whom many saw as a turncoat for leaving the Dems and going independent. So choosing an independent certainly didn’t inspire the Dems to ignore their rules in the future.
