The Republican National Committee on Friday afternoon said it would pause participation in further Republican presidential primary debates, effectively leaving decisions around future debates up to media organizations and the 2024 Republican presidential candidates themselves.
“We have held four successful debates across the country with the most conservative partners in the history of a Republican primary,” the Republican National Committee (RNC)'s Committee on Presidential Debates said in a statement. “We have no RNC debates scheduled in January and any debates currently scheduled are not affiliated with the RNC.”
“It is now time for Republican primary voters to decide who will be our next President and candidates are free to use any forum or format to communicate to voters as they see fit,” the committee said.
Sure champ. The dnc wasn’t leaning on the scales hillary was just such a good candidate that she lost to Trump. It’s imperative you maintain that ideal otherwise you might come to the realization that you’re part of the problem.
He had a much better chance than “it’s her turn” Hillary and her baggage. The problem is he actually has a history of helping people and speaks truth to power, contrary to the interests of the DNC and Corporate democrats like ole Hill. He doesn’t bring in that sweet lobbying money from the ultra wealthy, just small donations actually indactive of voter support. It’s why Debbie Wasserman-Shultz was giving Bernie debate questions ahead of time, to help him out… oh right that was Hillary that needed the help… because the dnc chose the candidate they wanted and needed to solidify it by any means.
Either way the reality is the DNC has shown it is incapable of being impartial, and that the whole thing is kabuki nonsense to make you think you have a choice in “choosing” the peice of shit they want you to pick. The DNC is controlled opposition for the wealthy to be able to maintain control on both sides. Not like any sane person is going to vote republican… so they limit options to only the shit sandwich while expecting you to thank them for forcing you to eat it then they bitch when nobody is excited about the shit sandwich.
Then here you are “well of course MY shit sandwich was the only choice and if THEY couldn’t have won, clearly no other sandwich could have come close so stop asking to try another fucking sandwich.” The dishonesty here is just fucking pathetic, but to admit otherwise would be to invite criticism for handing Trump his '16 victory, more so than is already done.
I’d love to live in the country you think we live in. Where there’s a majority of progressive, left leaning voters out there, hiding in wait, who would appear and sweep Bernie into office if only that meddlesome DNC hadn’t held him back.
The numbers simply aren’t there. We’re not that country today. We have another decade or more of boomers and Gen X dying off before we’re even close.
People cling to these conspiracies about the DNC because it’s easier to be mad at them than admitting the depressing truth: we’re a centrist country. Bernie spent his life fighting for these causes and only truly managed to get a significant amount of spotlight in the twilight of his career. This shift happens very slowly, and we’re moving in the right direction, but we aren’t there yet.
