DNC replaces two Vermont delegates - because they're men
Washington Examiner ^ | July 21, 2016 | Ashe Schow

The Democratic National Convention ordered the state party of Vermont to replace two delegates — because they're men.

State Sen. Tim Ashe and party insider Ken Dean were ordered to be replaced by the DNC so that the party could achieve a gender balance. Dean and Ashe have filed a formal complaint with the DNC's credentials committee, according to the Associated Press.

Dean and Ashe were elected by the people of Vermont to serve as delegates on June 11. Everything was fine until July 5, when the DNC ordered the state party to replace the two men with women.

This is not gender balance, it's a false attempt by the DNC to make the party appear more balanced than it is. The people wanted these two men, who are both well-known and respected in the state, to go to the convention. Instead, they will be replaced by two women for the sake of gender balance.

This shows what a sham the DNC's alleged moral high ground on gender issues is.

What the left is, is force. Reason doesn’t apply to them. They are force, and party heads will force what they want. The will of the people be damned.

I thought gender was a construct. Can’t they just say they’re female?

Were they given the option to self-identify as women?

This episode is more evidence of it.

I want to know why these particular delegates were singled out.

Because they are male, yes, but aren't there other delegates who are male?

Were they too masculine or too effeminate?

Maybe too liberal? Too conservative?

Not pretty enough?

Who won in their district, Hillary or Sanders?

  They really don't have anything more important to think about. It's all a show. As Rush would say, it's symbolism over substance.

Note that you would never see the dnc replace two women with men to achieve gender parity.

The hypocrisy flows one way there.
