    “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?

        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

          Nail on the head. We need to gear up for the next fight, and something has to change. I’m almost at the point of registering Republican so I can vote in the primary and possibly help shape the Republican party to be more progressive. I feel like that might be less futile than trying to change the DNC.

        Hey, this propaganda is now 3 months out of date.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

        Trump isn’t running for DNC chair.

        Though party leadership would vote for him over any progressive.
