Our establishment politics is run by elites within elites. DNC poll requirements are a perfect example, a situation with no transparency but with power to block candidates not anointed by a gatekeeper class. In America there should be no gatekeepers; only the people should decide

no, she's wrong about it, and i'm saddened you would agree with her. you didn't meet the established criteria. the rules are the rules, and they were not a secret. if you don't like them, don't run.

Wait. Let me understand this. I thought the rules were written by the Founders, who wrote into the Constitution who is qualified to be president. You think the DNC should "rule" this? I think not. It isn't about Tulsi or me or anyone else; it's about our democracy.#notanother2016

Please. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 If you were in the top 10 you wouldn’t be saying a word. But since you failed to make an impact on anybody, you’re crying foul. Weak candidates always complain about the rules.
Ummm.. it’s a political party that makes rules for members. It’s kinda simple. If you can’t grasp the difference, drop out now.

You are running for the party nomination. You aren’t going to get it except by the party rules/criteria/process. The fact that you think the party cannot determine its own process is shocking in its ignorance.
As you'd know if you were being honest, ballot access rules are legal because it'd otherwise be absurd to print up ballots listing every natural-born citizen over the age of 35. Likewise, the DNC having to split debates into two nights is absurd.

Tough stuff. Grow up. Fun fact: your money can't buy you everything.

Constitutionally you’re welcome to run for President. The founders didn’t make rules about parties. Let alone televised debates.

@HillaryClinton won the primary by 4 million fair and square and the the General Election by 3 million, but was robbed. @SheWon #Hillary2020

You’re being obtuse or disingenuous. I’m not sure which. But the founders actually never expected a woman to be president so you might want to not use them as an example. P.S. The DNC is a party, not the government. They owe you nothing.
The Constitution doesn't mention the DNC.
