Insurrection Erupts at the Democratic National Committee

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I find it astonishing, though not surprising, that the people who lead a party who call themselves Democrats don't seem to have much affinity for democracy. The leadership has all but anointed their next presidential candidate without caring much for their party's base, who are certainly not in agreement with their selection, and limiting the exposure of other potential candidates.

Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's autocratic ways in limiting the number of primary debates, insiders say, alienated many of her colleagues. And the problem may get worse.

Before things went awry, Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii had been planning to be in Las Vegas for her party’s first presidential debate. Gabbard is one of five vice chairs of the Democratic National Committee; of course she would be there. But instead of talking up her party’s prospects on the Strip earlier this week, Gabbard was in Honolulu. Her presence in Sin City was strictly virtual, and anything but boosterish: She spent debate day giving cable-news interviews via satellite, claiming that, as retribution for loudly calling for more Democratic debates than the DNC currently envisions, she was deemed unwelcome in Vegas by the committee’s chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz—who Gabbard suggested is an enemy of free speech, as well as a liar.

The same is true of the pubs as well. The establishment has anointed ole Bushie and they could care less about their constituents.

So what? The same thing happened in the Republican party last time around when Ron Paul ran.

The troops who didn't have 24 hr access to the news cycle and who READ about the candidates knew who was the best choice, RON PAUL. But the corporate powers and the party bosses did the same thing, they told the people who they were going to choose. And these folks did whatever they wanted, they didn't give a flying turd who the people really wanted. It only mattered who Wall Street and corporate America wanted. They same is true here.

The people are the same no matter which party they belong to. The are just dragged along and conditioned by their masters.

Democrats are going to have a REAL hard time selling their idea of FREEDOM to the American public when the lack of it IN their party is so PUBLIC.

The establishment has pushed Bush, but they are not actively trying to minimize or sabotage the other candidates, except for maybe Trump.

Yes AND no on that one bro. I don't think Hillary's poll numbers are honest. And after the stunt with Facebook after the last debate? I think Sanders maybe WELL ahead of her.

Yes, and why is that? Because Trump could win and "the establishment" does not want anyone to win who might actually accomplish something without their having orchestrated it. It's two sides of the same coin, Bro. Look at what they have done to Trump already!
