Maybe I just haven’t seen them, but it seems to me that no one is really calling out the DNC for its decision to give the superdelegates even more power than they had in 2016.
And it’s embarrassing that a little app was blamed for the historically undemocratic Iowa caucus that resulted in awarding the most delegates to the candidate that didn’t get the most votes.
I thought the worst thing that could happen was that the Republicans had all sold their souls to the devil.
But if the DNC repeats what it did in 2016 and steals the democratic nomination away from Sanders, the clear choice of a lot of people in this country, again, then I am truly scared.
Why isn’t anybody noticing that it’s not just the Republican party that is owned outright by corporations, but the centrists in the Democratic Party as well?
The Democrats are behaving the same way they did in the 1980s, when they thought they had to be more conservative and more cruel than the Republicans in order to seem, I don’t know, more legitimate?
It is shameful that so many Democrats are so much more worried about their portfolios than about the rights of refugees either in detention centers on this side of the border or in extremely dangerous “camps“ on the Mexican side of the border.
It is horrifying that so many centrists in the Democratic Party have decided that it’s a great idea to basically create a second electoral college by way of the delegates in the Iowa caucus as well as the superdelegates in the DNC, and thereby throw their weight behind candidates that will never stop endless wars, will continue to drag their feet on the climate catastrophe, will probably be OK with the total repeal of both Roe v. Wade as well as the ACA, just to name a few horrifying things.
It is not OK that the DNC decided that Mike Bloomberg could buy his way into the debates, when far better candidates, who just happen to be of color, were excluded.
Why isn’t anybody calling out the DNC, loudly, vehemently and relentlessly on it’s blatantly anti-democratic behavior??
