    I get why people are upset with the DNC, but it’s supposed to be a representative Democracy. I am exasperated, betrayed, depressed, and more about this election, but the reality is that near 40% of the voting eligible population didn’t vote. That’s 93 million people who didn’t vote. You can say it’s disenfranchised voters. You can blame leadership. But it’s our house. It’s our responsibility to elect our representatives.

      Except the DNC chooses the candidate. HRC bought her way into the candidacy by paying off the debt of the DNC in 2016 with the help of Donna Brasil and Debbie Wasserman Schultz supplanting the movement toward a true populist, Bernie.

      Again, in 2020, the DNC encouraged everyone to drop out, including Kamala, to support Biden over Bernie, because the DNC will never get behind a true Progressive.

      Never underestimate the DNC’s ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
