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 support a candidate whose agenda is the result of a fervent love for every single person. Only love can be supported. Love for people, animals, nature, the planet, the universes. God is not exclusively blue or red. We discussed this in 2004 in a Cleveland synagogue.

I agreed with you until "We have to passionately & powerfully support whoever the Democratic candidate in ‘20." I can't and won't be scared or shamed into voting for any candidate I don't respect, trust and ignores issues I find important.
