i think staged is a little rough, its more like uncaring

i think that the hillary folks all know and agree that they will win and so they have a "get it over with already" mentality that is shutting out the dissent. i mean, if the bernie people were given every opportunity there, maybe it would have been a minor victory on the small scale but a larger defeat ultimately- so to the hillary people, it doesnt matter really and to the bernie people who are fervent (this is a compliment, i appreciate their passion) but delusional it means everything

the bottom line is that it was wrong and in different circumstances really seriously matters. a similar thing happened during a 2012 democratic national convention where a half/half vote to amend religious statements to the democratic party's platform was taken at face value to be a 2/3rd vote for affirmation
