Your excuses are pathetic and stupid.   If they cared about not creating a distraction they would release the vote totals and be transparent.   Everyone is going to be distracted when a political party isn’t being transparent with their members.  If you weren’t such a dishonest anti-Bernie hack you’d realize that.  

The response from WFP is 100% misdirection. They begin by pointing out how diverse the leadership is, as though that somehow makes it impossible for the leadership to have massively outsized influence on the the outcomes of party votes. Then they lean on the fact that they’re receiving harassment, as though this…

They will never show the vote totals because they vote totals will make them look like stupid corrupt assholes.  

The response from WFP is basically, “How dare you question how this all went down when our leadership is [insert identity groups here]? Oh, and by the way, internet randos are getting all up in our mentions, so it looks like this answers any and all questions about the vote tallies!”

I read how they process their votes, “In the WFP’s ranked-choice voting system, the party’s national committee, which consists of 56 people, has equal weight with the party’s members and grassroots supporters, who number in the thousands.” (from the Salon article). 56 people =1000's in this voting system. Doesn’t seem…

The attacks are gross, but it is damn suspicious that they changed their methods to ones that essentially give leadership total control of the endorsement and refuse to release the actual vote count. That doesn’t justify attacking them on racist grounds.
