YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs Bernie Sanders became the front runner for the Democratic presidential nomination an argument emerged from the bowels of the democratic party and its media allies- the people’s vote in the primaries doesn’t matter. Using Ben Burgis' recent essay in Jacobin entitled "Yes, the Candidate With the Most Delegates Should Be the Nominee" as a guide this video will expose the fallacious thinking behind the DNC's arguments for overturning the votes of their rank and file voters.

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
