No you didn’t. The DNC’s job should be to facilitate democracy, not dictate it or manipulate it. You’re the modern equivalent of men with cigars in a back room deciding who the candidate will be. We’ll win in 2020-not because of but despite the way you’ve manipulated the process.

Absolutely not. We put in the work to ensure power was returned to the grassroots, we will be following the rules set forth by the DNC. We will not bend on this, we will not change our rules. politi.co/36NU2Zm

Our political system is a duopoly - so the @DNC and @GOP are already having their way. Allowing them the ability to play king maker - undermines democracy and is detrimental to the future of this country.

If you listen to the podcasts you will see that with many people in the race letting the people completely vote causes candidates with a hardcore base to do better because the other candidates split the vote. Ranked-choice voting would reduce this effect.

I guess the voters did have their say.
Replying to @marwilliamson @bellengj
They did. They did not choose you.
Replying to @marwilliamson @bellengj
They will have a say. But if any candidate doesn't like DNC rules, they can start their own party.
Replying to @marwilliamson @bellengj
So why has not Bernie dexlares himself as a democrat I just sont I understand?
Replying to @marwilliamson @bellengj
You’re right! The voters should have their say but we have heard many of the leaders on the left say that they can’t trust the people to do what is right!
Replying to @marwilliamson @bellengj
The voters in this case are members of the Democratic Party. You choose to join that party. Or you’re popping by as a guest to their party. Either way that’s how it works. Their game. Their rules. They literally pick the winner.

There is no evidence US elections count votes honestly. This thread examines major electoral fraud and manipulation in the following years: 2004 2008 2012 2016 THREAD (And this is just the low-hanging fruit.) 1/
