DNC screwing Tulsi out of the debates

I expected no less. Especially after the spanking she gave Harris. They are really scared of her. And the policies she represents.

But I guarantee the DNC won't back down. All that can be done is to put Sanders in. Then he can change the Leadership of the party.

With Tulsi either as his VP or Secretary of State.

Let us get the real truth, and not some online Conspiracy Theorists. These were the rules that were set from Day 1. So read:

Here are the candidates who qualified for the third Democratic debate — and those who might miss out:

They are being quite selective about the polling. She has more than matched the donation threshold with proves grassroots support.

They are scared of her.

I have to agree with Butler and omega on this.
The discouraging aspect of this is that the illusion is gone, people know the system is rigged, people and media bemoan the
fact that the system is rigged, and yet nothing will ever change until everything goes in the shitter.
Political debate has become pure sport, anyone who genuinely addresses the real issues gets marginalized as a kook.

She has recieved enough on a second poll. But with only 7 days left and polls not being fine or released from the few so called approved polls it's not looking good.

The rules were set in advance. There are numerous criticisms of them and there will always be, as it is too complicated and can be interpreted in several different ways. But Gabbard is not out of it as yet and could make the mark based on not only the donations but the polls as well. Remember that her own campaign criticised CNN as being biased. But their polls indicated that she qualified as per that poll:

Billionaire Tom Steyer is the next most likely candidate to qualify for the fall debate, needing just one additional poll after clearing the donor mark last week. Steyer was at 1 percent in the new CNN poll.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii also picked up a qualifying poll on Tuesday, scoring 2 percent in CNN's national survey. This is her second qualifying poll, and she has already hit the donor mark.

If you are not polling at 2% you are a distraction.

This all kind of reminds me of the 65th, 66th and 67th American college basketball teams complaining they didn't make the March NCAA basketball tournament.

She exposed Ryan, then Harris.

They are I think fearful of her ability to take down people. Biden would have been next.

The Establishment Dems vs Progressive Dems battle has more significant consequences than Dems vs Republican battle
in the bigger picture. The DOC is beholden to the same people that would rather see Trump than a Progressive Dem in the WH.

Yep. The rich people supporting Biden, Harris and Buttigieg don't want a progressive in either. They will settle for Trump and the tax cuts.

Perhaps you will get your wish of a Progressive heading the Democrat ticket. Don't go crying about how stupid voters are if that candidate crashes and burns. I don't want to hear it.

I won't actually. I don't play that game. I accept the results of elections.

At the end of the day, anyone who can take out this idiot from the Whitehouse is all that matters. I think Gabbard is the sexiest candidate, and I would like to see her in the next few debates, although she does not stand an iota of a chance to win the nomination!!
