I'll say this for Tulsi Gabbard: While I disagree with her on virtually all the issues, she has consistently shown a lot more integrity than literally any other Demonrat out there on this particular issue. This has frankly been since long before the election.

They simply need to get more corrupt than they are and go even further left.

That should solve the problem.

“to open up the primary contests by adopting same-day voter registration.”

What could ever go wrong with that?/s

I support the DNC staying the way it is. They should look to organizations like the Cleveland Brown’s front office as one to emulate. That should ensure that we continue to Make America Great....

The Democrat Party was corrupt long before she entered politics, and will remain corrupt long after she leaves.

Try ditching Marxism. Anything short of that is not going to help y’all a bit.

Yes, yes, yes, but the Dems are refusing to give up their "super delegate" system.

Tulsi already has her answer, despite her understanding of the intentions of our nations founders.

What needs to emphasized is that the DNC rigging their primary is just a window into their corrupted soul. The rigging and corruption continued into the national election AND it’s aftermath. A second most important point is how TOTALLY complicit in this subterfuge is the MSM with their incessant FAKE news.

They could just look into the Seth Rich thing. I suspect that would make a lot of the problems in the DNC “go away”. If you know what I mean.

I agree with you. She seems to be one of a small handful of HOR Dems who seems to have integrity. Just the kind of person the party bosses can’t stand.

Reorganization of DNC without changing out the current democrats in DC will accomplish exactly nothing

> This shines a light on how deeply broken our campaign finance laws are

I’d argue that campaign finance laws give power to the major parties. The stronger the laws, the more a candidate needs the party to work through all of the regulations and limitations on campaign fund raising and spending.

Ds (as well as Rs) know how to put enough layers of law firms between the candidate and the campaign law violators so that violations don’t hurt the candidate even though directed by the candidate’s advisors. Whether it’s fundraising or spending.

And both parties know how to move money between different groups (state party, federal party, pac,...) They have a huge pot of funds/donors who can be directed to the necessary candidates. And if and independent starts making waves, the D or R candidate can get whatever money or legal help needed to avoid an independent win.

In 2016 Ds formed a PAC to get around campaign finance laws by building a “volunteer army” to slant social media toward Hillary. They bragged about finding the loophole. An independent would need to pay for the same “army” which isn’t allowed. The way Ds got around the law was with volunteers (in numbers an independent can’t achieve if a “volunteer army” is stopping him/her every step of the way in trying to build a “volunteer army” of his/her own). The Ds only had to pay for the group of people who controlled the army. And that group didn’t personally manipulate social media (i.e. post). They only manipulated the volunteers so they didn’t violate the law.

“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

Matthew 12

Something similar in flavor will happen with this “overhaul”.

“who took over as interim chair of the DNC on the eve of the Democratic National Convention”

I seem to remember she took over DNC because Wasserman-Shultz stepped down after apologizing for rigging the primaries against Bernie.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/25/us/politics/debbie-wasserman-schultz-dnc-wikileaks-emails.html

PHILADELPHIA —Democrats arrived at their nominating convention on Sunday under a cloud of discord as Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, abruptly said she was resigning after a trove of leaked emails showed party officials conspiring to sabotage the campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

And Brazile was part of the rigging in that she clandestinely slid debate questions from CNN to HRC for primary debates, making her present claims of outrage sort of humerous.

The first thing and the signal the they have overhauled the Party successfully, is to re-name the Party to the Democrat Communist Party. There it would be, out in the open. Make Alinski, Marx, Hegal, et al required reading for all Party officials.

I am not a lawyer, but I imagine that Gabbard has grounds and standing to sue the DNC, and a lot of the individuals who orchestrated the scammery.
She may even have the “balls” to do it. We shall see.
