No, it isn't. You're twisting details but this is a dead-end. Suspected injustices are to be dealt with seriously and expected to result in strict consequemces. Suing the DNC because a selected group of people have been at suspected fault doesn't make you a bad Democrat or a bad advocate for the party. Same way the transgender student suing the school because of an administrator at the main office committing injustice towards them doesn't make them a bad advocate for the school.

Transgender here doesn't equate to Democrat; but "an advocate for the school"/"an advocate for the party". And if they have the constitutional right to, then a non-transgender should sue for witnessing the injustice. If they don't have the right to, then they shouldn't. But Bernie has the consitutional right to sue the Democratic National Committee because he's a Democrat and he's claiming he's been treated unfailry by selected indiciduals from the DNC. This doesn't AT ALL make him a bad Demicrat.
If a true injustice had taken place, then the court will rule in his favor and he will have overturned and fixed a flaw in his party.

Tell me how suing the DNC is good for t
he party as a whole? What's the best possible outcome? The DNC has to give him money that would otherwise go to other Democrats? That's only benefiting Bernie while hurting other Dems.
A transgender case is apples and oranges. All kids
have to go to school, and public schools are paid with their tax dollars too. Neither of these aspects apply to this situation. Also, a Transgender person suing can benefit all Trans* students. Whereas Bernie suing isn't helping other Dems. You can try to make the argument that the DNC won't do this again to other candidates, thus
abstractly other candidates might benefit. That's a weak argument, because data breach isn't that common and when it happens it should be reprimanded. It's hard for me to see that he just isn't exploiting it.
Yes, he has a constitutional right to sue. I don't think anyone here is negating that. There are plenty of things that are "constitutional" that I don't agree with and same with you. I don't think anyone here is saying it should be illegal for Dems to sue their own Party; we are just saying it is bad for the Party. Like how can you make an argument that getting sued is neutral/positive?
