the dirty tricks used by oligarchs to prevent democracy.

Look at what DWS and the DNC are doing to Sanders and O'Malley, deliberately setting late dates for the debates, and limiting the number of debates.

Everyone, EVERYONE, understands that the reason that DWS and the DNC are doing this is to ensure Clinton has an easier chance of being given the nomination.

Another dirty trick safeguard the oligarchs will use to prevent a fair primary election, and democracy, is electronic voting. Best to eliminate the threat of democracy before it has a chance to get to the GE.
