The Democratic National Committee is telling America to pound sand and will refuse to hold debates for its presidential primary despite Robert F. Kennedy Jr polling at 19% and Marianne Williamson polling at around 9%.
And this comes as President Joe Biden continues to sink in the polls with a majority of Americans, and Democrats, saying they do not want Biden to run again.
A DNC insider, Symone Sanders, said today: “The Democratic National Committee will not facilitate a primary process. There will be no debate stage for Robert Kennedy Jr, Marianne Williamson, or anyone else.
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr is polling at 19% and he’s running as a Democrat for President. I explain why this is laughable + what the reality of the situation is (Spoiler alert, no Dem primary).
Liberal journalist Glenn Greenwald said:
“The open, explicit contempt the Dem Party has for every voter who isn’t blindly loyal to them is amazing to see.
“This contempt is most often directed at the party’s disaffected “progressive” wing, because they know – thanks to Bernie and AOC – they have them on total lockdown.”
Robert Kennedy Jr said: “The DNC, at this point, has taken the official position that there will be no debate, and I think that’s unfortunate.”
2024 Democratic candidate Marianne Williamson said:
“The DNC ‘plans no primary debates.’
“As though there simply ARE no other candidates … no other ideas we should discuss about ways to win in 2024, or other ideas we should discuss about ways to repair the country.
Too many people are too smart to accept this.”
Nina Turner, a former Ohio state senator and co-chair of Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, said:
“The DNC refusing to hold a single primary debate is undemocratic and robs the voters of choice.
“No one who feels confident in their record and/or ideas would hesitate to stand on them.
“The DNC should hold debates.
“This is supposed to be a democratic process.”
