      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.

                And the DNC argued in court they are a private corporation that is not bound to follow their own bylaws.

                  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.
