    How is the DNC a for-profit corporation? Who are the shareholders on whose behalf they act?

    Without intent to offend, your comment sounds extremely conspiratorial.

      That it’s a private corporation I base on their own statement in court, affirmed by a judge

      The court recognized that the DNC treated voters unfairly, but ruled that the DNC is a private corporation; therefore, voters cannot protect their rights by turning to the courts

      As for it being for-profit, that’s the only logical explanation for why they insist on strategies that are electorally disadvantageous but profitable, such as acting in favor of the 10% wealthiest much more often than their constituency in general and moving to the right every time the Republicans do, losing more prospective voters than they gain.
