Shocking news: the Democratic Party is not democratic after all.
#OpenTheDebates & #OpenThePoliticalSystem to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices
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.
As ballot access discrimination against independent & third party candidates is a major barrier to more robust competition, this is a big deal. #OpenTheDebates & #OpenThePoliticalSystem to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices.

#OpenTheDebates for #Dore24? Watch the @GOP come crawling back to @debates to maintain their corrupt duopoly advantage.

HUGE #Dore24 update: right before the #RageAgainstWar rally @jimmy_dore told me that he's going to run for President of the United States!
“People are ready and desperate for an honest un-bought candidate that unites the working class and people that span the entire left right political spectrum based on shared values and a common enemy -the Oligarchy,” he said. He wanted to announce it soon after the rally.
I was incredibly proud of him! He was FINALLY answering the call of the thousands of people who have cheered for him to run at every livestream and stand-up show across the country since last summer.
He was recognizing his unique ability to bring left and right together to stop this war, get health care for all, end homelessness, and raise wages. He was putting the people of this country before himself, like a great leader. It was going to be bigger than Bernie 2016! A real revolution!
But then Jimmy's wife Stef Zamorano, who I've known for years and love, told him that she would rather he not run. But Jimmy also said that maybe they could be convinced and he could justify running if he "could think of something positive and concrete that would come out of him running."
That's why @jimmy_dore and @miserablelib need to hear from you! Make a video of yourself or tweet telling them what good it would do for them to run. What difference would it make in your life? Tag them both and use #Dore24.
I knew that Bernie’s first campaign would be huge from the moment he announced. I went to his first rally in a small union hall in Maryland and joined the campaign in 2015. Jimmy's campaign will be even larger.
After Bernie was cheated in 2016, I urged him to run as an independent and blow up the two-party system. He walked right up to the line of being a real revolutionary and then he blinked. Like Cornel West said to Jimmy and me in 2017, "Bernie missed his moment."
But now we don't need Bernie. Because Jimmy Dore has the power to blow up the two-party system. And I will be damned if we miss our moment again. As Jimmy told AOC during #ForceTheVote, the biggest abuse of power is failing to use the power you have.
Jimmy and Stef, you're on the cusp of changing millions of lives for the better. I haven't seen anyone inspire the love and confidence that you do in people since Bernie. People trust you because they know you're genuine. They know you care about them. They can feel it in your sense of outrage at the way people have to live in this country.
Stef, Jimmy needs you with him to do this. I was there at the Force the Vote town when you sat by him, tears in your eyes as you both told the story of when Jimmy's spine collapsed -- as you shared what it's like to be driven to medical bankruptcy in the richest country in the world. You can help spare millions of people from having to go through what you did. Just this Monday you talked on the show about how this country is ready for an independent president and wore the Dore24 necklace that Laura made you.
I believe in you two! And so countless thousands of others!
Everyone tag @jimmy_dore and @miserablelib and tell them what good will come from them running for president! #Dore24 Let's do this!
Will @CheriBeasleyNC debate @ShannonBrayNC & @MatthewPHoh regardless of @TedBuddNC's decision?

This is our original depiction of the duopoly's fortress. The first slide shows the structural barriers (exclusionary debates being one of those). The second slide shows how these concrete barriers are reinforced by various barriers of perception. 2/
We don't have a #TwoPartySystem, we have a #TwoPartyDuopoly. Thankfully, the charade is falling apart. In with the new, out with the old.

PSA: I'm joining @PeoplesParty_US! Two party systems are gatekeepers who work for the corporations & they don’t let the rest of us into their so-called “big tent.” If we don’t work together to build a major new party that works for all of us, we’ll continue to suffer together.
Democracy without competition isn't democracy. It's oppression, or as @RalphNader calls it, #TwoPartyTyranny.
Time to #OpenTheDebates & #OpenThePoliticalSystem to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices!
Let me be clear: capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism. It’s exploitation.
Rest in peace, Sen. Mike Gravel.
In his honor, let's #OpenTheDebates & #OpenThePoliticalSystem to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices.
We are sad to announce that Senator Mike Gravel passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, at his home in Seaside, California. He was 91, and had lived the fullest live anyone could have ever wanted. We will miss him every day.
Strengthening our democracy begins with admitting it was never all that strong to begin with.
It's time to #OpenThePoliticalSystem to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices.

It's almost like today's @GOP is so detached from reality that they don't even recognize the immeasurable insider advantage they've developed through the rigged duopoly system they built over decades.

"The @GOP needs assurances that the CPD will make meaningful reforms to the debate process by working with stakeholders to restore the faith and legitimacy it has lost." – @GOPChairwoman
And about half of the electorate is politically independent. It's time to #OpenThePrimaries, #OpenTheDebates, & #OpenThePoliticalSystem to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices!
Why do you support open primaries?
@tjohara2012 @FreeandEqual @OpenTheDebates @ivn @christinatobin It's a damn shame, considering the state of our political discourse, that #WeThePeople aren't more tuned into the causes of such political dysfunction. Thanks for shining a light on rigged debates!

Here @leedrutman, we fixed it for you.

It's impossible to have a two-party democracy when one party thinks the only way it can win elections is by restricting the franchise -- and it can get away with it.
It's not the players, it's the game. #OpenTheDebates & #OpenThePoliticalSystem to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices!
“The division and dysfunction we see every day is a function of good people stuck in a bad system,” @NickTroiano of @uniteamerica tells @Morning_Joe. Read this @TheHillOpinion column here: https://t.co/cxZKUtqRGZ
Most Americans agree. The 2 parties & their corrupt political system have failed us. It's time for a reboot. Try turning it off & restarting it.

Sixty-two percent of Americans say a third political party is needed in the U.S., up from 57% in September and the highest in Gallup’s trend. https://t.co/QUg6WE7qUL
Oops, how could I forget @OpenTheDebates?
