Democratic Party Reform Press Conference | Bernie Sanders



[font color="navy"size="3"face="times new roman"]Published on Jun 14, 2016
A few things are clear: 1) We have to replace the current DNC leadership. We need someone who vigorously supports bringing people into the political process. 2) We must get rid of superdelegates. The fact that we had 400 superdelegates pledged eight months before the first ballot was cast is absurd. and 3) The idea that in the State of New York 3 million people could not participate in helping select the Democratic nominee is incomprehensible. We need real reform within the Democratic Party. And that means open primaries.

the years 2015 and 2016 and 2017. What he ought to release is a full and complete audit of what his One Billion Dollar "Charity Foundation" brought in, and whether any of his Senatorial Pardons to economic criminals got his "Charity Foundation" some quid pro quo a few years after the pardons. Otherwise how do those of us who count ourselves among the Elite know how much we will have to pay for the Presidential Pardons coming down the Pike when you leave office?

And furthermore, Bernie, you should [h2][font color=black]Ooopsie!

Washington was an independent. Lincoln was a Republican. Jackson was a Democrat.
These attacks on Bernie's credibility as a democrat rely of media pablumated definitions of the day.
3rd way Democrats? Really!

Now, enjoy your last hours of RW Bernie bashing while you can.

with ANYTHING that Bernie said here!

In fact Progressive Dems have been fighting for what Bernie said in this speech since Stolen Election 2000!

So...why would Obama/Hillary Supporters even have the slightest problem with what Bernie is calling for in Change for the Democratic Party's Election Practices?

K&R Bernie has been fighting his heart out for people for over forty years..

Made it clear they don't want "Grass-Roots" candidates... We need Bernie Sanders to stay in the race.

...to have to run against grass roots activists?????

In other words: it's our party, not yours. It's our private club, and you aren't invited.

However, we will take your tax dollars to subsidize our private club, i.e., closed primaries...

Well said, Thank you! Sounds like a very Un-Democratic party--I never signed on to that. Not here or anywhere else.
DWS isn't my idea of a Democrat, at all. They screwed Over Bernie Sanders and spit in the voters' faces.
