2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Is it now abundantly clear why DWS and Hillary want to limit exposure to voters? [View all]jaycrewz
(23 posts)70. I said this in another thread.
DWS, the DNC and HRC have put a bad taste in my mouth. Small debate schedule...hiding the debates in bad time slots (freaking NFL playoff Sunday for the Feb debate). Im this close to not voting next fall if Hillary wins.
I have my reservations about some of her political positions and flip flops...but this sort of rigging and outright ignoring of what democrat voters want pisses me off. We want more debates, and we want people to view the debates.
I cannot support a candidate when deep down in my core I feel like the primary is being fixed. I cannot support that sort of "democracy".
And trust me, Im not alone in my sentiment. The DNC better get their act together.
