It is not the DNC who is forcing Hillary on anyone.It's just that there are more Hillary supporters

then any other candidate's supporters. That is known as democracy.

I know some feel that we are taking away their chance at economic justice. Well we are not your enemy. The conservative SCOTUS is your enemy. The conservative Congress is your enemy. Conservative State legislatures are your enemy. ALEC is your enemy.
The Citizen's United decision is your enemy. Together we can fight against them.

But by postponing and limiting debates, the DNC has rigged the game to allow Clinton to basically sit on her lead for as long as possible and not allow Sanders, O'Malley and other qualifying candidates to make their case in that important forum.

3. The DNC is not about democracy, it is about the party and control of that party.

She will fight for the interests of the money that is paying for her election. She will be a pro-choice privatization, "free-market", and austerity president

Many voters do not think that Sanders is a viable in a general election contest where the Kochs will be spending $887 million and the RNC candidate will be spending another billion dollars.

6. I don't think the DNC is the enemy, but limiting the debates is a move to aid HRC and her alone.

The debate schedule and DWS ham-handed moves do a great disservice to our party.

11. You're saying I benefit from the status quo because I support Hillary.

It is a form of elitism to think that you and your candidate alone are the true progressive liberals.

10. Hillary's election will protect Americans from a Scaliafied SCOTUS.

There is no turning back once the ultra-right justices are installed. Presidents will come and go, some we'll prefer more than others.

The reactionary stiffs on the bench will be permanent.
