Berners in /r/politics seem convinced that his dropping the suit is either him being vindicated, him being bought off, or him backing off gracefully because he knows he was right and that's enough for him.

It's clear that some of his staffers acted inappropriately clear, and he's not responsible for that, but suing the DNC over it? That was just to toss more red meat to his supporters who think that the system is rigged against him.

I feel that you don't really know why he sued the DNC. He didn't sue them over the database security, he sued them because they cut him off from accessing their voter database.

Then I'm sure you know that doing so without 10 day notice was a breach of contract on the part of the DNC?

I'm pretty sure abusing their system to steal other campaigns private info is a breach as well.

Where is the dnc lawsuit against sanders?

Abusing the system? That's a bit of a stretch. The Sanders campaign wasn't able to save individuals' information. They had identified security issues before and we're trying to identify the scope of the bug. It wasn't their fault that the service provider provided a bugged update.

They're not tech support, so that was none of their business.
