Should there perhaps be a criteria for allowing people to run for Democratic nominations?

1. Nothing beyond what is currently in place

you may not like the opinions of those whom you have posted here, but they have every right to them and to express them.




Frankly I find such a suggestion to put it charitably, far less than helpful.

4. I have no objection to candidates having an opinion different than mine...

I DO have an objection to candidates calling the Democratic Party corrupt because it has an opinion different than theirs...

[Sherman A1]

7. So you are criticizing democrats

For their criticisms. Wondering how that fits in with the terms of service here?

[brooklynite]

11. No violation at all...

...unless you propose to over define the "bashing" standard.

12. Any recommendations for this new criteria yet?

2. Not sure it is necessary

She was very unpopular and didn't get many votes despite staying in longer than others. She ended up endorsing Biden so she ended up endorsing the nominee like most or all of the others.

She didn't seem like she was trying to win a Democratic Primary often appearing on Fox News and attacking Democrats during impeachment which she ended up voting Present on that.

3. What criteria do you have in mind?

[Magoo48]

6. Yes,

They must be solid left, liberal progressives. They must be full-steam-ahead environmentalists who bring some technical or scientific knowledge to the table.

They must be anti-war and for massive deflation of the war department and its budgets They must be anti covert actions, anti nation building, and anti empire expansion.

The must be for massive election finance reform, anti corporate control, for shrinking and breaking of all corporate monsters and monopolies, for worker owned and controlled businesses.

How am I doing so far? You think it has a chance?

Remember, everyone else would have their own quirky lists.

8. The processes for gaining influence, power and nominations seem opaque and not very democratic

And that applies to the organization and primaries for both parties.

They also seem quite varied from state to state.

Undoubtedly those in control like it that way.

9. Yeas. They should be members of the Democratic Party

And Bernie isn't.

[AZProgressive]

10. That would still leave in Tulsi Gabbard

Anyway I voted for him twice as well as the Democratic nominee.

[bullwinkle428]

13. I think the voters spoke, and each of them fully earned the result they

ultimately ended up with.

Are you concerned about some "LaRouchie"-type candidate that sneaks away with a win in a primary, like what happened back in the 1980s?

14. Cry me a river, Tulsi

They earned what Biden is calling them. I knew there would be some 1/6 apologists in the MSM that were going to throw a fit.
