    We aren’t “protesting” anything. We are safeguarding America’s longstanding core values of democracy and the rule of law.

        We don’t value democracy and the rule of law because they are “cute”. We value them because countries that don’t have them are a nightmare to live in.

          The party that sues to keep 3rd parties off the ballot, is a private corporation that can select their own candidates, and gives voters no choice but their hand selected candidate is the party of democracy?

            is a private corporation that can select their own candidates

            You want the Republicans and Democrats to be public corporations? The Democratic charter has specified since the 1950’s that voters chose the candidates.

                Nope. A lawyer argued to win his court case that the DNC could legally CHANGE their own bylaws to abolish primaries. Which is technically true. The RNC can also do that due to the lack of government regulation.

                    [DNC attorneys assert that the party has every right to favor one candidate or another, despite their party rules that state otherwise because, after all, they are a private corporation and they can change their rules if they want.]

                    What part of “they can change their rules if they want” did you not understand? The headline of that propaganda rag is contradictory and wrong. You can tell because it tells a Trumpian lie: “End Rigged Elections”. That stuff comes from Putin and Treason Trump.
