What is wrong with the DNC?!

 

Last week, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced that it is changing the rules in the middle of the race to give billionaire Michael Bloomberg a spot on the debate stage that he didn't earn—just one week after Bloomberg gave the DNC more than $300,000.

 

And now with the debacle in Iowa, it's clear that something is very, very wrong at the DNC.

 

Here at Common Dreams, we believe that we must hold powerful people to account, no matter what their party is. Our journalism is fiercely independent, and we will find and report the facts about the malfeasance and corruption at the DNC.

 

When the public demanded a climate debate for the 2020 primaries, the answer was "Sorry. The debates are set. We can't change them now."

 

But when billionaire Mike Bloomberg needed the rules changed so he could get into the debate, the answer was “Of course. No problem.”

 

Other candidates had to collect hundreds of thousands of donations from states all over the country to get into the debates. When candidates like Cory Booker and Julian Castro fell short, the DNC made no exceptions.

 

Turns out when you have a billion dollars, the rules don't apply. And the DNC must be held to account.
