The ninth presidential debate will take place in Las Vegas tonight. Five of the candidates have earned their way onto tonight’s stage. One has not.
Michael Bloomberg is a billionaire who bought his way onto the debate stage and the DNC changed the qualification rules to allow him to do so. Our democracy only works if everyone is represented, and that won’t happen if wealth and connections eclipse candidates who have invested in building broad, diverse grassroots movements.
I want to live in an America where no one can buy a seat on the Presidential debate stage. That’s why I am asking today:
The DNC didn’t change the rules when experienced candidates of color were at risk of being left off the debate stage, so why would they change them now?
Big money has corrupted our political system and we must do everything we can to fight back, and build a system that ensures those closest to the pain are closest to the power.
Thank you for all that you do. Our movement is only possible because of you.
In Solidarity,
Ayanna Pressley
