    “Unfortunately,” Geevarghese lamented, “Democratic leadership is failing disastrously to meet this urgent mandate. Ahead of tonight’s forum, the DNC is actively working to silence rank-and-file Democratic activists and base voters calling for a ban on dark money in primaries and the rejection of corporate funding. In a last-minute move, they shut the event off from the public and even deliberately shared the wrong address for where grassroots supporters are allowed to gather.

    How can anyone defend the DNC at this point?

      Because the alternative is trump and there is no legitimate 3rd option.

        Trump isn’t running for DNC chair.

        Though party leadership would vote for him over any progressive.

        A resounding failure by the DNC with two years before the next election (if those even matter anymore) is literally the best time to be critical.

        The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results all that. DNC keeps failing to beat Republicans, time to try something else.

        The alternative is the working class rising up, and casting off our chains. Can’t get that, until we raise class consciousness, though.

        This would have been valid 3 months ago, but now elections are over. THIS is the time to complain and look for an alternative, so that we don’t get caught pants down in 2 years

        Hey, this propaganda is now 3 months out of date.

        What’s the new Boogeyman to excuse selling your country out to billionaires that consistently take away your rights?
