The DNC is a private organization and can pick who they will to be the candidate. They can go against the will of the voters. Which the courts agree with them on this.

That exactly the argument they used in 2016 in Nevada to justify giving Hillary the win in that state even though the majority wanted Bernie.

They have picked Gavin the guy who just declared Roland Ragen day in California.

AOC be better as a Senator anyway and should primary useless Chuck.

I strongly detest this defeatism sentiment.

If we had a colossal showing of mass turnout and protest, I do believe we could force the DNC to cave.

Just telling you facts the DNC have chosen Gavin and that who you will get weather you like it or not.
