    That was before my time, so forgive my youth. I do know of how they treated Jesse Jackson in the 1988 primary and after, and that always seemed like the DNC establishment taking a stand against strident lefty voices among african americans.

    His entire platform for the 1988 election was purposefully voted down by the DNC even though he won 2nd place.

      Jackson was screwed in 88 (84 too, but that was more of a protest campaign), but after? He basically sold out and went all-in the DLC machine. Granted, it was not in good faith that the Democrats incorporated Jackson and his son into their machine — they were deathly afraid of him running against Clinton in 96 or Gore in 00 — but it happened. Jesse Jackson has done a lot of great things in his career, but he's always been corrupt.
