Quote:A new rule adopted by the Democratic National Committee may block Bernie Sanders and other political outsiders from seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination in the 2020 presidential election.

Randi Weingarten, a member of the DNC and president of the American Federation of Teachers, posted a photo of the rule change on Twitter saying that the rules and bylaws committee had “changed the rules to ensure to run for President as a Democrat you need to be a Democrat.”

In order to seek the party’s nomination, a candidate must publicly announce that they are a registered Democrat, will accept the Democratic nomination, and will “run and serve” as a member of the Democratic Party.

This rule seems to be in direct response to Bernie Sanders, the independent Senator from Vermont who fiercely battled Hillary Clinton in a surprisingly close primary race in 2016. Running on a platform of universal health care and free college for all Americans, Sanders gained popularity, especially among young voters.

Sanders received 43 percent of the delegates votes at the Democratic National Convention in 2016 after a heated battle in which he initially refused to bow to some establishment Democrats' calls to throw in the towel.

Currently, Sanders is running for re-election to the United States Senate in Vermont. His campaign strategy will be the same as his previous two Senate races, which includes running as a Democrat, declining the party’s nomination when he wins a majority of the votes and then running as an independent instead. This strategy allows Sanders to get rid of any possible threats by blocking any other liberal candidate from getting the approval of the Democratic Party.
But the DNC’s proposed rule change would not allow Sanders to do the same in 2020.

Rigged again?

Or, they could just do what they did last time and f*ck him over again by rigging the primaries. His cuck followers seemed to fall in line, even after being screwed over.

Its actually a logical rule.

But the intent is to rig the election.

Feel the bern, Bern.

How sad for the gentle old commie...

Its pretty stupid unless they are secretly trying to sabotage all the other candidates. It will fire up his supporters and paint him as a true outsider.

please force him to run (I).....hell, he already has in huggy bear land

if that happens, it's game over before it begins....

lol---what idiots. Enforcing such a rule will doom them to running against Benie as an independent third party candidate. He would siphon off more than enough ultra-lib-commie votes to guarantee a Trump electorial college landslide.

Yep! Run as Independent in 3-way race or create some new Socialist Party and run as their candidate.

Either way, it'll suck away big numbers of young "dems" that won't automatically do to the Dems.

Called this the night of or day after the “America will never be a socialist country” SOTU.

If/when he doesn’t get the dim nomination, he’ll run 3rd party. No one has the bankroll to buy him another vacation mansion and Maserati to go away this go around.

This could well be a 4-5 ring circus with coffee guy and who knows who else jumping in.

I'd donate to his damn campaign if he ran a third-party challenge in the general election. Trump might even win New York and California if that happened.

lol...I would too!

Everyone knew about the rule change, now let's see if they have the balls to enforce it.

I bet they just overlook it (at risk of pissing off their lunatic fringe), and hope he doesn't win. If he goes into a convention with a plurality of delegates, he'll get cucked again.

Yes, but who will the delegates not pledged to Bernie in that scenario get behind? Cory "Spartacus" Booker? Kamala "I Slept My Way to This Point" Harris? Fauxcahontas? Hmm...I wonder.

Joe Biden caused a lot of problems what he voted on supporting Bill Clinton's crap. He is part of the Clinton crowd. We need an outsider to shake things up and Sanders is the guy.
Imagine the GOP put the same rules in to keep Trump from running in 2016?

I don't have to because it didn't happen. Quit with the whataboutism crap.
