The debates are essentially a reality TV show in which the DNC partners with corporate media to choose & exalt the candidates they feel should be in the running. It is an incestuous insider game, perhaps well intentioned on the part of its perpetrators but poisonous to democracy.

Then shut the fuck up and run as an independent. I’m sick of all these terrible candidates who seem to think they’re entitled to something.

No substantive questions or challenges for these wack jobs.

Sour grapes. There are criteria to determine candidates with reasonable support (not you) and to weed out gadflies (you).

We can either SAVE the United States of America — or save Marianne Williamson’s political vanity show. We cannot do both. Choose.
