Ahead of Chair Vote, DNC Fails to Reinstate Obama-era Rule Banning Lobbying Cash

The DNC is even more corporate now than under Obama. This shows Bernie Sanders' effort to turn the Democrats into a grassroots party is a total failure.

Before the voting could get underway at a DNC meeting held in Atlanta over who should head the party structure as chairperson, members of the DNC had to first decide whether or not they would reinstate Obama-era rules which barred the party from accepting money from lobbyists.
After contentious debate, the party ultimately elected against reinstating the ban, citing the usefulness of lobbyist cash in elections.
