We all know that when an anti-establishment candidate wins a primary, the Democrats throw a temper tantrum. In New York, they were quite happy to overlook serious accusations of sexual misconduct against Cuomo because they couldn’t stand the idea of supporting the people’s choice. The DNC always manages to find a candidate to run against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, even when that money would be better spent prosecuting child rapists across the aisle.

It’s only when a progressive challenger threatens a do-nothing incumbent that the Democratic leaders start talking about the need for “support” and “unity.”

“We don’t want a primary,” is their unofficial motto.

When one of their anointed candidates is challenged, they start clutching their pearls and looking at you with resting white supremacy face.

We need to be clear about a few things. The Democrats aren’t running “more electable” candidates. It’s not true that progressive policies “won’t work” in red states. You don’t have to “appeal to moderate Republicans.”

All that is propaganda right out of the Goebbels handbook for brainwashing a nation.

The fact is that the moment a progressive candidate starts gaining momentum in a district, the DNC swoops in to shove one of their bought and paid for corporate candidates down the people’s throats.

He’s usually a vanilla ice cream white guy who has spent his whole life carrying water for the party. He’s never had a real job. He’s got some sort of fancy sounding degree. He’s got the charisma of a wet paper bag.

“We are supporting this guy because he’s a good fundraiser.”

By that they mean he’s already rich or he’s quite happy to take foreign blood money, or Epstein money, or AIPAC money, or who knows what else?

The kicker about me saying all this is that moderate Republicans (if those actually exist) will read this criticism and start nodding their heads. “Yes! Finally a liberal understands how corrupt the DNC actually is!”

The Democrats don’t like to see a working class candidate out there canvasing the district and knocking on doors. They don’t like seeing people who are so popular that they can get into office on the strength of twenty dollar donations.

A person like that can’t be controlled.

Many of the candidates I’ve talked to have faced pressure, not help, from the DNC. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Look at what the DNC has done over the last two years. Again and again and again, they’ve had opportunities to oppose the authoritarian overreach of the current regime. Again and again and again just enough Democrats have voted with the Republicans to make all the abuses we’ve endured possible.

We’re supposed to just forget about that? We’re supposed to forget that 4 Democrats voted to keep the war in Iran going on March 5th, or that 1 Democrat voted for the SAVE act? We’re supposed to be fine with those betrayals?

People keep telling me that we have to defeat MAGA before we can turn our attention to the saboteurs within the Democratic party. I say they’re wrong. I say that we have to clean house among the Democrats first.

Remember, we gave them the power to stop this in 2020. The voters gave them that power. The Democrats failed to hold the lawless regime responsible even though they had the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.

Do not try and tell me that it was only a “razor thin majority.” I’m not buying it anymore. I’ve had enough of Democrats whining about how they couldn’t do anything. To me, that’s just a confession that it’s time for the existing generation to stand down and make room for somebody who is actually willing to work.

As I’ve been interviewing candidates, I’ve learned about the process of getting on the ballot in various states. Every state is different, and in some places a candidate has to go through ridiculous obstacles.

A candidate in Connecticut told me he had a couple week window to get 5,000+ signatures. Every signature had to be observed. Every signature had to be legible. They had to be collected on official sheets of paper that only allowed 20 signatures per page. These sheets had to be notarized and accepted.

As I sat listening to this, I realized it was all a bunch of nonsense to allow the party to disqualify candidates on a technicality.

Of course, there’s a backdoor for the anointed candidate so they can skip this entire, arduous process.

The Democratic party deliberately makes absurd requirements so that they can maintain the illusion of choice even as they control which candidates are allowed to run.

That’s anti-Democratic and they need to be called out on it.

At the same time, I found it oddly heartening that the party would go to such lengths. Obviously, they’re absolutely terrified of the people wresting back control of our society.

The other thing is that the process they have in place might actually work to a candidate’s advantage Anyone who is motivated enough to get on the ballot, has to do a lot of work. More importantly, that candidate has to go out and talk to people.

They have to canvas the district. They have to listen to the issues that are keeping moms and dads awake at night.

In their attempt to keep candidates off the primary ballot, the DNC forces these candidates to do exactly what candidates should be doing anyway.

We all know that the midterms are our last chance. The regime is openly murdering people. Let’s not sugar coat it. Let’s also not sugar coat the fact that our current generation of Democrats isn’t doing anything to save us. They’re not coming to help.

We have to help ourselves.

We do that by standing up and demanding a free and fair primary process. We have to demand that the media starts paying attention to primary candidates. It’s time to start allowing the people of each district to select their representative. Why should Washington DC insist that some guy who moved to your neighborhood three months ago is the best person to represent you?

We want to pick our own people!

The Democrats aren’t going to do that by choice, so we have to make them. We have to make this an initiative. We have to streamline the process so that the party can’t disqualify popular candidates just because they want to keep their corporate donation money flowing.

Masked secret police are rounding people up and sending them to concentration camps! It has to be stopped!

It’s also time that we demanded more of the media. They refuse to cover the primaries because they’re beholden to their corporate overlords. This is the same as how they bury many other stories of cruelty and injustice.

Those of you on this platform have to make a choice. Are you going to continue to sponsor the millionaire members of the legacy media who have tried to bring their corporate ideology to independent journalism? Have you seen Jim Acosta or Dan Rather or Don Lemon or Heather Cox Richardson interview primary candidates?

Let’s pressure creators with huge platforms to cover the most important story of the moment.

WHO IS SPEAKING FOR THE PEOPLE?

We do have the power to remove an entire generation of useless Democrats and replace them with those who are willing to work for us. It starts by holding the Democrats accountable.

Current Democratic leaders are perfectly willing to talk to Steve Bannon or Joe Rogan or Tucker Carlson. They normalize the offensive, anti-human beliefs propagated by those entities. But Democrats absolutely refuse to talk to real people, or educated people, or emphasize the ideology of reason.

Stop allowing this. If the current creators refuse to stand up for the people, then go out and support those that do. We have to remake the Democratic party, and we also have to remake the media. Once that’s done, we’ll become equipped to form the society we deserve.
