DNC and the Hillary campaign share headquarters. Huh.

[Luminous Animal]

With its walls papered with Hillary Clinton signs, and the seats carefully arranged for the Hillary for America ribbon-cutting, it was hard to tell where the Democratic Party's office ended and the Clinton office began. There were a few signs referencing Obama and the Affordable Care Act, but as far as I could tell, there weren't any that mentioned the two other Democrats running for president. And sure enough, both the Carson City Democratic Party and Hillary for America's Carson City field office list 502 E. John Street,

Before I could ask what time the event started, I was told I needed to talk to Tim Hogan, the Nevada communications director for Clinton's campaign. Back in my rental car, I emailed Hogan, explaining that I wanted to talk to registered voters and Nevada caucus goers. He replied with an invitation to the office opening, and included a clip about Clinton's recent endorsement from Carson City Democratic Party Chair Marty McGarry, whose office is also in the party headquarters at 502 E John Street. At the time, neither Sanders nor former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley had a field office in the city; the Sanders campaign opened one this week, a couple of blocks away from the space Clinton's team shares with McGarry and the Democratic Party.

At the time, it struck me as curious that the local Democratic Party—particularly one in a key early voting state—would allow a primary candidate to run a campaign from their office, sharing resources and space in a place where caucus voters might come with the expectation of balanced information on all of the party's candidates.

1. UNREC - Misleading Title

the local Democratic Party

not the DNC

But I guess, when you're looking for a conspiracy theory, the details don't matter.

[Luminous Animal]

2. Local Dem Party offices are supported by the DNC. I know because I have volunteered for many

of them. It is the purpose of the DNC to support local Dem offices.

[99th_Monkey]

4. and I believe local Dem offices are obliged to impartiality as well, no? nt

[artislife]

9. Not when you are debating the meaning of the word "is". nt

[grasswire]

41. hehehe nt

[PatrickforO]

52. You know it's been decades, but I really don't know if we've ever

determined what the meaning of 'is' actually is...

[left-of-center2012]

59. In Bill Clinton's case

I think it's what the meaning of the word "is" was.

[Historic NY]

13. And the candidates signed agreements to fundraise for the DNC...

and local Democratic Parties. Its not uncommon to share space or provide space in a campaign HQTS. for the local party. Apparently you forgot it about Democrats for Democrats.

[Luminous Animal]

14. There is not ONE SINGLE OFFICE I have worked in that shared their office with only one

candidate. Never. Not once. The resources of the office were available to all candidates. O'Malley is running as a candidate. Bernie is running as a candidate.

Le Taz Hot has documented her trials and tribulations of getting her local Dem office to carry Bernie campaign material. They flat out won't do it.

[Historic NY]

22. If you so fired up why don't you call the local Democratic Party.........

you might find out the Clinton Campaign is paying the bills & they are giving them space....not every Local Party has funds...sometimes its in-kind services support.

Obama campaign shared space in 08 and 12 with many small local committees including some Congressional campaigns..around the country.

Well maybe Bernie ought to open some more local offices. Who was funding that local office??

?resize=* &output-quality=

LOL - guy writes report to claim bias..........the place was the Obama Campaign's office too.

[George II]

25. Amazing the lengths some will go to smear their opponents, huh?

[Bubzer]

58. Indeed. Hillary supporters amaze me on a regular basis.

[BeanMusical]

85. Lol!

[floriduck]

91. Amazing the lengths some will go

to get posters banned. This example is definitely more egregious than your thought.

[George II]

92. Huh????

[mentalslavery]

93. Are you sure...cuz your pix is misleading

That is a picture of the current decorations on the door, not a picture from when obama was running in his first primary against clinton in 08. The addition of the picture makes it seem as if you have evidence of obama support at this office from a comparable point in the his first campaign where he beat clinton...but you don't.

Naturally, this office has obama stuff on it today...but how does that equate.

[George II]

30. Specifics please. Thanks.

[Luminous Animal]

37. Educate yourself. You want to be a Democrat? Find out how it works.

Volunteer at your local office. Communicate with your local operatives.

[ViseGrip]

33. Never is right, until you are the nominee, THEN you become a 'coordinated campaign' and not before.

[FloridaBlues]

101. A candidate can rent office space in local Dem hq

No they can't share the data the candidate has their own data .
I rented space from local hq when I ran for office. The local party can't endorse a candidate but no law against renting office space it helps the local party to get income as well .
The candidate signes a lease contract only not that local party will endorse or work for the candidate

[George II]

27. Not true. Maybe the state party, certainly NOT the DNC.

Give us a for instance of one of the "many" you refer to, please.

[Freddie Stubbs]

66. How exactly is the DNC supporting this particular office?

[wyldwolf]

97. Local dem offices are supported by state parties

[Freddie Stubbs]

100. Sometimes they are

Sometimes they are not

[Agschmid]

5. Yup...

And they are REALLY looking.

[Luminous Animal]

12. Where's O'Malley?

[Dem2]

26. Are you kidding me?

Repeated posts with cooked up accusations like this leads one to have to question the motivation (and integrity) of said poster.

[complain jane]

84. I thought the same thing

as soon as I started reading the article.

[morningfog]

108. LOL! From you! BWHAHAHHHHAAAH! YOU are requesting accuracy in a headline?!?!?

That is too fucking funny, oh god, my side hurts.

[99th_Monkey]

3. Yup! They aren't even trying to hide it anymore. it's as damning as it is revealing.

Yet, Clintonians will feign great umbrage if anyone dare suggest that "The DNC is in the tank for Hillary".
Howls of faux outrage are certain to ensue from Hillary fans if anyone dare utter such a thing on DU.

It is beyond ridiculous, as we are not supposed to notice or believe out 'lying eyes' when we point out the
painfully obvious fact that the DNC and Hillary are fused at the hip, in a corrupt incestuous power grab.

[senz]

24. I know, they are shameless.

I saw the title of the article, " Is the Democratic Party Rigging the Election for Hillary Clinton?" and immediately thought of all the times certain cheeky, arrogant individuals have called us "conspiracy theorists" for wondering what the hell is going on.

[merrily]

47. Denying reality

1. Does not alter reality

2. Does not even mean that you believe your own words.

[Snotcicles]

95. Sanders supporters should setup and maintain an informational picket line at the entrance. nt

[99th_Monkey]

99. Not a bad idea actually. n/t

[AtomicKitten]

6. They're an incestuous lot.

[Freddie Stubbs]

7. Perhaps if the Sanders campaign spent more time on party building and less on cybercrime

this wouldn't be an problem

[nc4bo]

8. Boo. nt

[artislife]

10. Did they have a crystal ball into the future or did they plan the future?

Your remark seems to indicate preknowledge. I just wonder how you believe them to have it.

[Luminous Animal]

11. Where's O'Malley?

[Freddie Stubbs]

63. At about 3%

[Luminous Animal]

16. ooh! Cybercrime! When is the DNC going to lodge a complaint with law enforcement.

Why are you not demanding that they go to cops to prosecute this cybercrime.

[senz]

28. Funny how Bernie wants to investigate and Hill wants to move on.

Somebody's got something to hide.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

45. Great comeback! You are a fricken genius!!

[merrily]

51. LOL!

[840high]

48. You seem to have forgotten how

Hillary took Obama's records in '08.

[leftofcool]

57. Please post a link to this accusation

[merrily]

50. What crap! Sanders is to blame for the DNC's and Clinton's ethical gaps?

Nothing is too ridiculous to get posted here.

[passiveporcupine]

54. Was it cybercrime when Hillary did it to Obama?

Of course not.

[rhett o rick]

56. There are 16 million children living in poverty thanks to the wealthy 1% that you support.

It's time to change that and sen Sanders is the only candidate working for the People.

18. The booming metropolis of Carson City, pop. 50,000? WOOHOO!!!! What a scandal.

I'm appalled!

[Luminous Animal]

20. 10th largest city in Nevada.

[George II]

21. 50,000 people, in a state of a few thousand more than 1M voters....

.....in the last Presidential election. I wouldn't obsess over it. Probably not many offices available for rent in Carson City, right?

[catnhatnh]

39. Seems like Clinton supporters wouldn't obsess

no matter how much corruption is injected into their campaign.

31. Limited accommodations? DNC should have erected a tent outside of town

to eliminate any question of impropriety.

[George II]

35. The thing is, it's NOT the DNC, but why let details get in the way of a good smear, eh?

[cherokeeprogressive]

42. It's the fucking state capital.

[merrily]

53. Oh, please. As if the population numbers are the issue.

Or as if the problem is confined to sharing space in one location.

[George II]

72. Well, we're all still waiting for the OP to be corrected and the "DNC" changed to "Carson City".

[merrily]

74. Has nothing to do with my post

[George II]

75. And yours had nothing to do with mine. Why don't you ask the OP to correct...

...his/her subject line and make it accurate?

[merrily]

76. Baloney. My post was directly responsive to yours. Ask the OP whatever you want.

I'm not your personal assistant.

[Jesus Malverde]

61. State capital and center of political life in the state.

[George II]

69. The office under discussion is the local office, NOT the "DNC" as portrayed in the misleading subj.

[leftofcool]

19. Oh boo hoo! Try getting the headline right next time.

[George II]

23. The DNC????????? Not even close. Try the Carson City Democratic Party, which is in the body....

....or YOUR post.

The Carson City Democratic Party is a far cry from the Democratic National Committee.

[Luminous Animal]

29. Really. Hillary supporters are this ignorant about how local offices are supported?

[George II]

32. Nope, I'm well informed - have been an officer of our local party committee for more than a decade.

[Recursion]

36. Do you call your county school board the "Department of Education"? (nt)

[Luminous Animal]

38. Are you okay that O'Malley doesn't have a presence there? I'm not. And maybe why

he get's little traction. As a Bernie supporter, I think O'Malley should get a lot more attention.

[Recursion]

43. I'm not OK with blaming the DNC when the problem is NSDP

And, yes, I am bothered by this. I also know the difference in DNC and the state parties it gives money to.

[George II]

70. I refer to the armory a few miles from here as "The Pentagon".

[mentalslavery]

94. No you don't...but you do call it the national guard...

which is the point right....its a brand of the larger organization generally recognized as carrying out the local function of the national organization....Of course...the most accurate headline would be A local branch of the DNC is.... so I do acknowledge that the post is drawing a lot of attention over this key difference. But....we all know the DNC is propping up clinton and her and wasserman are tight so......

[Recursion]

34. The DNC moved its HQ to Carson City, NV?

That's weird.

[Luminous Animal]

40. As if the DNC does not support local Dem offices. it's almost like you've never walked into one.

[Recursion]

46. Actually DNC doesn't bother funding mine; DCDSC basically gets nothing from national

So, no, the Democratic Party office I've volunteered in doesn't really get much money from the DNC. And in fact they tried to railroad our caucus in '04 after we went for Sharpton.

[Luminous Animal]

55. The bylaws of the Nevada Democratic Party to which the Carson City belongs...

77. I've been involved in about two dozen State Representative, State Senate, local Mayor and...

....local Council campaigns, not to mention five elections in which I was on the ballot. I'd say I've walked into many local Dem offices.

We've never received a penny, nor did we expect a penny, from the DNC.

[NowSam]

44. it's the constant feeling of being played

that makes me distrust this process.

Bernie is right. the game is rigged.

[TheFarS1de]

67. Do they also share computers ?

[NCTraveler]

71. They are about building the party.

That isn't a secret. Working together toward something bigger than themselves. It's a concept most democrats are proud of.

[retrowire]

89. Democrats are proud of an establishment that makes the choice for them?

Oh geez.

[treestar]

73. Bernie has to convince more voters

What a waste of time it is to complain how unfair it all is. Voters make up their minds they are supporting Hillary because they support Hillary, not because the DNC made them do it.

[Faux pas]

78. ...

squared!

[emsimon33]

79. This should be illegal!

It makes me dislike Hillary even more...which I thought was impossible!

[Android3.14]

80. The game is fucking rigged and it's wrong!

Anyone who supports Clinton is supporting an unethical organization, the DNC.

82. What.The.Hell!?

[BeanMusical]

86. K and R. I'm so surprised.

[Enthusiast]

87. That seems fair.

[zalinda]

88. Even IF the DNC and the LOCAL dem party are not connected

doesn't it seem awfully hinky to any one that only ONE candidate is represented at a dem party office? Isn't the dem party, whether local or national supposed to be neutral until the primaries are over?

Z

[rbnyc]

90. No doubt.

Thanks. I think that is the point.

[whereisjustice]

98. DNC is behaving like they are in their RNC growth period, arrested development, Hillary is

dragging into the slim one day at a time.

102. In the end the local Democratic Party rented out the portion they didn't need....

http://www.vice.com/read/the-democratic-party-hillary-clinton-bias-goes-way-beyond-data

Upon arriving, I met three smartly dressed men getting ready for an event they said was an opening party for the Clinton campaign's local field office. Registering my curiosity, one of them pointed to the back, and explained that the Clinton campaign was renting an office in the party headquarters.

With its walls papered with Hillary Clinton signs, and the seats carefully arranged for the Hillary for America ribbon-cutting, it was hard to tell where the Democratic Party's office ended and the Clinton office began. There were a few signs referencing Obama and the Affordable Care Act, but as far as I could tell, there weren't any that mentioned the two other Democrats running for president. And sure enough, both the Carson City Democratic Party and Hillary for America's Carson City field office list 502 E. John Street,

In Nevada’s state capital, the Clinton campaign rented space from the Carson City Democrats. They have a back room in the local party organization’s office suite. At the time Clinton’s Carson City office opened in early December, neither the Sanders nor the Martin O’Malley presidential campaigns had offices in the city.

“Our office in Carson City had extra space beyond what our local party organization needs, and the Clinton campaign inquired about renting this extra space,” Marty McGarry, chairwoman of the Carson City Democrats, told RT. “Their presence helps us pay expenses for our all-volunteer office that does not receive any money from the state party.”

The Sanders campaign, which runs nine offices in Nevada, including one in Carson City that opened in mid-December, was not offered space in any local Democratic Party offices, nor did they inquire about such vacancies.

https://www.rt.com/usa/327290-hillary-bernie-office-conspiracy/ (all you DU'ers are quoted all over this one)

You would think it was for free or something............meawhile Hillary has been fulfilling her commitment to raise money for various Democratic Party Hqts.
In my neck of the wood Democrats help Democrats, someone suggested and the campaign rented it. PS I'm sure the open house wouldn't fit in the back room....LOL. There is more but I decided its just not worth expending the effort................

[brooklynite]
