    The DNC completely controls every aspect of the primary process. The DNC is a private corporation, not a democracy.

    The DNC is completely regulated by the billionaires.

    The DNC is not obliged to even have primaries. Nor is the DNC committed to any kind of fairness and openness. In other words the DNC is not committed to democracy but only uses some democracy whenever they think it will suit the DNC’s objectives.

      Who cares?

      Locally, I have third party candidates that have made it to various offices. Do you think a new federal level party just magically appears?

      Seriously, what part of this do you not understand? Because I don’t think you’re jumping to wild conclusions here, I think you’re achieving teleportation levels here.

      The DNC does not matter.

      You have TWO choices for president. Full stop, no discussion, that’s reality.

      I never implied otherwise. You are arguing a straw man and not against what was said.

      The DNC is not completely regulated by billionaires. But the wealthy and Powerful have always had an outsized voice throughout human history. It shouldn’t be that way but it is. The way to change it is not to screen that they should pay attention to someone like yourself who has no wealth power or control. But to come for them and win. They can close their primaries if they want it will only hurt them. Because we don’t have to run it then we just have to work together to actually get s*** done.
