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

I will only passionately and powerfully support you Marianne. If the Democratic nominee is someone else I will once again feel like I am picking the lesser of evils. I am independent and do not support either party.

In 1967 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called for “a radical redistribution of economic and political power.” It's our planetary duty to not let another 50 years (if we survive) go by...visit @marwilliamson's plans at marianne2020.com/issues It's that important. #Marianne2020

def not supporting blue no matter who. Tulsi, maybe Bernie is far as I'll go.

I disagree. Pre Trump era politics was suffocating people - that’s why Trump happened. That’s why going back to pre Trump era isn’t going to work. And most candidates want to go back! People must be radical today. They must choose peace over war, love over hate, good over evil.

They seem to believe that too many candidates splits the vote and miss the very important point that the diversity of the candidates brings in MORE voters. IF the DNC allows the voters to choose in the primaries all candidates and their supporters will be more likely to unite.

I donated to your campaign and months ago. DNC dies not support democracy, but is more than of an oligarchy than the GOP.
