John, this is what corruption looks like.
After the 2016 election, the DNC set rules to require any 2020 presidential campaign to meet a polling threshold + number of donors threshold to make it onto the official debate stage.
They stuck to the rules at first. Even though they prevented Julián Castro and Andrew Yang from being on stage in the last debates. Rules are rules!
Right before jumping in the race, Michael “Billionaire” Bloomberg sent the DNC a $325,000 check. Now the DNC has announced they’re clearing the number of donors requirement to allow Bloomberg on the next debate stage.
The DNC seems to be rigging the system to allow a second billionaire on the stage. You’ve got one set of rules for regular candidates, and another for billionaires who want to buy their way into the White House.
Justice Democrats exists to remake the Democratic Party from the inside out. We are electing a slate of bold, progressive, uncorrupted candidates who will listen to Democratic voters, not donors. But we can’t do it alone...
This comes hot on the heels of rumors that DNC members are trying to re-introduce superdelegates on the first ballot at the convention to stop a progressive nominee for president.
Together, we can win our fight for the soul of the Democratic Party and transform it to represent the will of the people, not big-money interests.
Each and every day, our insurgent progressive campaigns get stronger and stronger as people realize that, even in safe Democratic districts, they have a choice for real representation.
Make a contribution to JD now to help us transform our party and our Congress in 2020.
Thank you for your support,
Alexandra Rojas
