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

You can run as an Independent, or Green. You're welcome to do that. The DNC is a private party, taking no federal subsidies, and can set it's own rules as it sees fit, owing to no one. Same for the RNC. You should know that. They're not obligated to you, in any manner, at all!!!

Soooooo, every single "native born" American over the age of 35 should be on the debate stage? I'm not sure that it is supposed to work that way.

What Donald J. Trump proved is that we need more president with no government experience who do not believe in science.

How are you running for POTUS and you don't know the rules still?

Not what primaries are for. They're to decide who's best to represent each party in the election. That you can't/don't understand this, shows exactly why you don't belong in the race. Don't want another 2016? Then bow out gracefully the way Sanders should have the 1st time.

Yes, those rules are in the section of the Constitution that mandates secrecy around Area 51 and Loch Ness. You can only read the text by the light of a full moon on Mount Doom. Democrats don't want a snake oil salesman. You might try the other party.

find a constitution and read it. nowhere in the constitution does it indicate how a private organization should conduct its elections. the dnc is a private organization not bound by what you mythically believe is in the constitution. you are embarrassing yourself.
