The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

The DNC is only another wing of the fascist corporatocracy /Kleptocracy /plutocracy their only function is to protect the capitalis that keeps them in power.

2016 primaries were awful. DNC super delegates kept Sanders out, showing the worst aspects of super delegates. Establishment GOP couldn't keep Trump out, showing the worst aspects of a lack of super delegates.

That single act doomed us. Bernie would have smoked trump so hard his kids would have changed their name

That is why I get pissed off at the people who blame nonvoters for Trump and say blue no matter who. No. That kind of thinking it’s what lead down this path in the first place. You don’t keep participating in a corrupt system hoping it will get better. You destroy the system
