Whether Bennett, Harris, Castro, Booker, me or anyone else, neither $ nor polls (no transparency there!) nor DNC should be allowed to “narrow the field” before IA or NH. That’s the PURPOSE of primaries! The debates are undemocratic & should only exist if all candidates included.

What it amounts to is the modern equivalent of old time backroom deals where guys with cigars decided who the candidates would be: “Don’t let anyone but our guys get in here.” Paternalism is NOT democracy. People who think they “know best” don’t always do.

Why does this matter so much? It matters because neofascists are literally at the door, and those who paved the way for this danger are NOT necessarily those who know how best to deal with it. DNC controlling things caused a catastrophe in 2016 & it’s a slow moving car crash now.

We have to passionately & powerfully support whoever the Democratic candidate in ‘20. But right after the election - whomever wins- we need to break the chokehold of the undemocratic campaign industrial complex.Only the unfiltered voice of the people is wise enough to handle this

They "know what is best" for themselves.

And more often than not, what they care about is preserving their position and perks, not about "knowing best".

@marwilliamson these debates are like reality TV shows or beauty pageants... outcomes and storylines predetermined by a select few! Enough! Let’s keep at it #teammarianne #marianne2020
