Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustration over what they see as a feckless Democratic response.

      And as long as privately ran organization owned by those rich people (the DNC) controls the primaries then they can choose what ever candidates they want. Like how they chose Hillary despite Bernie having more support in 2016. This is why the DNC has stopped doing primaries.

        When did they stop? If you’re talking about last time around, unfortunately Biden didn’t drop out early enough for them to have one. We will definitely have primaries coming up. Will the DNC try to put their finger on the scale? Surely. But that just means we got to show up in bigger numbers than they think.

          Bernie had provably more individual donors than any canidate in US history.

          There’s no amount pf voting that makes the DNCs chosen canidate lose the primary.

          They are a private organization that doesn’t have to even have a primary, the primary exists to hold up the illusion of choice.

      All you have to do is raise money without corporations.

      How hard could it be?
