This isn’t a diary, but I have a question and can’t find an answer. Bernie brought Cornell West to the platform committee table. Now this isn’t an anti-Bernie question or a pro-Hillary question. Just a point of information question. My understanding is that West isn’t a Democrat. How is it possible that a non-Democrat can sit on the platform committee at the Democratic convention? You’d think being a Democrat would be a major qualification necessity and rule. Or did he register recently just so he could be on the committee, and wouldn’t there be like at least a one-year rule of being a Democrat or something?
