How Democratic party (DNC) is designed to serve its Billionaire donors and the phenomenon of Bernie Sanders
Using convoluted and conceited rules, the DNC has designed rules and infrastructure to stop popular candidates from being nominated. Take the current primary election. Each state has certain number of delegates in each county and by winning these counties the candidates can get those delegates if and only if they win over 15% of the votes in the state.
So basically, even if you win more votes, you can get less delegates depending on the counties won. This is how Pete Buttigieg got more delegates than Bernie Sanders in Iowa even though Bernie Sanders received more vote count.
A candidate then has to win over 50% of all available delegates in the country to be nominated. Even if a candidate wins 50% of the delegates, the DNC can officially call for a 'brokered convention' where the final nominee will be decided by the DNC officials known as super delegates whose one vote is equal to 10,000 people's vote. Needless to say, these super delegates are deeply connected to the DNC establishment which flourishes on the ability of corporations to donate unlimited money to the DNC.
In order to stop a popular candidate from winning, the DNC has a whole slew of tricks up their sleeves. First line of defense to stop someone from being nominated is run multiple candidates so that the delegates are divided and the popular candidate cannot get 50% plus delegates. Secondly, they can have other candidates drop out and endorse another candidate thus taking away the number of delegates from the popular candidate. In the meantime, the DNC also has internal resources such as voting machine fraud, voting location closure where certain candidate is likely to get more votes, and other tricks designed to suppress the candidate they do not want nominated.
"But DNC is supposed to be a democratic party and most people want to support the Democratic Party." As DNC insiders have greatly benefited from the collusion with profitable industries and billionaires, they do not want to stop losing that flow of money - which is bound to be reduced or stop if Bernie Sanders gets elected. Other politicians are obligated to help the billionaires who donates money to them, but Bernie Sanders is only getting money from the working class so he is only obligated to help the working class.
The cycle of corruption is very simple. Billionaires give million dollars to politicians through many different ways such as book deals, speech fees, etc. Then the politician makes laws that benefit the billionaires by billions of dollars! What it means when politicians are indebted to billionaires is that the laws that are made are more favorable to the billionaires and the laws are put in place to ensure that this chain of corruption does not stop so that they can keep making money. When politicians are indebted to the billionaires, then the safety of the food we eat and medicine we use and all other policies become questionable as noone is looking out for the working class anymore. This means more policies will be made to benefit the corporations in ways that harm people and planet. That's why after years of using certain medicine, FDA recalls the medicine saying it's actually poisonous. The reason these things happen is that policies are made in haste to ensure corporation profits instead of safety of the common people.
As we all know, greed never ends and in fact it increases exponentially and thus in the last however many years, the profit of the billionaires have increased much more than the wages of the common working people. Not only does food and medicine become unsafe and expensive, the entire system of governance becomes directed towards creating a domesticated population who are taught not to question the system by the education system put in place by these politicians, and controlled by the prison for profit system which basically is a corporation that makes profit off of every person put in prison. The corporation actually charges a big $$$ for everyone in prison. To top off all the money in politics there is a fat money military complex which profits in billions and trillions with foreign policies that are promoted to sustain never ending wars. In addition to all the above, there is so much political policies put in place to favor industries that actually harm our climate - in this earth we all live in and where our future generations have a right to be able to live in a safe and pollution free environment.
Money in politics is just very bad for everyone unless you are a billionaire or you profit directly or indirectly from them.
The same money in politics influences the healthcare system whereby billionaire owned corporations sell medicines that you need for 100 times their cost. They charge you 50 times more than their cost because they have to make sure all the middlemen are being paid which included your insurance company, which take all the money every month but make it difficult for you to claim anything. The collusion between politicians and corporations are making it difficult for common people to get medical treatment because of increasing out of pocket costs and deductibles such that people go to get treatment as a last resort, sometimes at the cost of life.
At the rate this is going on, life will be very costly and difficult for our future generations if we do not do anything about it right now. That is why Bernie Sander's movement is about #NotMeUs. This is about us and our livelihoods, our health and our planet.
Bernie Sanders is the only politician who has been consistently saying the same thing that are designed to help the common people by promising free medical care and free college in addition to the big no money in politics.
The reason most people are unsure of Bernie Sanders is because the billionaires own 90% of the media that is consumed by the people. Hence all day in day out, the media indulges in propaganda to stop anyone from disturbing their profitable collusion in politics.
The media scares people into thinking that they will have to pay a lot of tax if Bernie's policies are put in place. But the main thing they hide is that you don't pay more taxes unless you make couple of millions dollars a year. Anyone who makes less than couple of million dollars a year is in fact much better off under Bernie's plans. Bernie is the one with the most compassion for immigrants for example his path to citizenship and promise to never separate children from parents.
This is a very important time in the history of US politics because this is a golden opportunity to elect someone who truly stands for the people. If this opportunity is lost then, it will take a very long time for us to get someone like him. This movement is not just about one person, but about all of us who are aware of how the system is working now and why it is not good! Amazingly, every rally that Bernie holds is breaking all records. In California yesterday about 35,000 people showed up. A record number of people all over the country are becoming aware of what politics should be.
You are welcome!

What Sanders is going to bring? My answer is nothing; theory and practice are two side of the river. Average Americans are arrogant and have little knowledge feed by either Fox news or CNN. They do not have brain to filter that all the news they heard is manipulated and articulated . However that is the truth to them. Bernie utter about Castro: and media had made it atomic bomb and Trump the snake oil seller whose motto is just to win has portrayed and will portrait as a communist. Arrogant and stupid Americans think USA will be like Cuba. Whoever be the winner, best running mate will be a Southern hardliner Democrat who will attract millennium, independent, women, black and Latino voters.
No matter which system is there if the leader is like Trump all poor and middle class will be abolished. Education is going to be privileged for elite people. Look at the data: undergraduate are making 15-17 dollars per hours and may of them will not be able to pay college loan for another 20 years. In this case Bernie has attractive slogan, but in real life is it viable? Look at the day to day cost to medical bill, all gone 100%. People are skipping their daily dose. if the corona virus spread like China, you and me the working family will be infected first, Trump underfunded the CDC. Look at Pence, who does not believe in science, according to him if women think hard not be pregnant, how many people hoses trillions of trillion sperms in their vagina will never get pregnant. If he gets sick , this bastard rush to hospital not to the church to get healed.
Who am I ?

You can see how he is planning to pay for his plans here. https://berniesanders.com/issues/how-does-bernie-pay-his-major-plans/ As the current establishment with billions of resources and media are trying to make you believe that Bernie cannot win or he cannot fulfill his promise, many people are brainwashed to be against Bernie or his plans. If you spend some time to look into it and do your own research, you will realize that Bernie is the only candidate who will work for you.

It is not brainwashed but reality check, just being elected president is not enough to implement all the promises made during the election period. Slogans/promises are hard to achieve and needed majority senators to stamp on his proposals. Keep it in mind democrats may not be a rubber stamp like these marble lost republican senators doing in favor to Trump.

Logan, you are right that he will need support to stamp his proposals - but we need to start somewhere. If we don't even give a chance to do the right thing then we are looking at impending doom for the working class. Nas, I do love Tulsi too and I would vote for her in a heartbeat but you have to be practical at this point. The whole media has ignored her because they are all owned by the same military complex that she is talking about. The establishment is scared that she will start a grassroot movement like Bernie so they are trying to shut her down right from the beginning. Her grassroot movement is not that strong right now but it will gather steam in the future - giving her a chance at the presidency. She is definitely a presidential material. I do support her and will be supporting her in the future. At this time, only Bernie has a chance at the presidency, and I do love his policies, his integrity and his compassion - that is why I am fully supporting Bernie. GT, the democratic party is indeed desperate and they are openly trying to use everything they have to take the people's vote away from them.

One thing i didn’t get about Bernie is: How can he be a millionaire owning three houses, one of them being a comfy vacation home, while always blaming billionaires and claiming he is fighting for the working class who have to rely on paycheck to paycheck for food or to pay rent. What billionaires are to the millionaires is no different than what millionaires are to the average Joe earning 35K a year living in an apartment.

ark good thing you brought this up.
This is one thing that is not very well understood.
There is a big difference between millionaire and billionaire. Look at the following picture. Also unless you make over 250,000 a year, your taxes will not be affected.

Nas. Unless you have a better person who is currently poised to win the election, these videos don't even make any sense. Bernie is beating everyone else in the democratic primaries. He is the only person capable of beating Trump.

Berni was beating everyone in the primary because he was solely getting progressives’ votes (who counts Warren) while others were distributing moderate’s votes. Lets wait till there is one miderates left and then time will tell,

Looks like we have bunch of Nepalese Communists/Maobadis supporting Commie Bernie in America. There is no such thing as Free, somebody is paying for it. If everything is Free like Bernie said, people eventually depend on Government. Then it will be easy for Government to Control People. Even Democrats are danger for America and its future, they are too corrupt. Trump is the real deal and God sent to save America! Trump2020!

Hey prem kumar ((tends to rato ghati wala/ redneck jastai jastai bhanna khojeko) anyone can win election . While I dislike commies, Bernie is more like socialist democrat (Social security ta line hola pachi?), if you aren't super rich no need to worry about Bernie. Biden might still win against Trump given HIlary didn't get much black votes and Biden will get for sure like Obama did in '08 ' 12.

Keyser Soze thats typical Liberal Mentality to wish for others’ harm. Sounds like you have TDS. Bring all kinds of Data but Trump has done a lot of wonderful Jobs to America that no other President has done in such short period of time. Trump2020 & forever😀😀 Even President Obama said in a live Video: How in the hell Trump going to bring those jobs, those jobs are not coming back. Does Trump have Magic Wand.” Now Jobs are coming back and Obama comes forward and claims thats all because of him, not Trump. Trump will be one of the best Presidents we ever had in America.

FYI trump took obama economy, cut taxes for rich and see the results still not in par in what obama accomplished in the first three year of government. also obama took economy when it was in recession so no same level playing field either. यो कोरोना भन्दा अगाडि को हो अब हेर्दै जाउ, के के होला झन्। S&P 500 Obama: +58% Trump: +45% Dow Jones Industrial Average Obama: +57% Trump: +48% Nasdaq Obama: +90% Trump: +69% too much of ब्राउन छाला तर redneckness syndrome भए पछि यस्तै होला।

ट्रम्प बाजेलेनै अमेरिका बनाको हो। पहिला अमेरिका भन्ने देश सुनेको थिएन कसैले पनि । अमेरिकामा काम जब ऐति बेसी आएको छ कि । काम खोज्न जान पर्दैन । घर घरमा काम गर्ने भन्दै आउँछ । ओबामाको हुदा अमेरिका केहि ट्रिलीएन ऋनमा। अहिले ट्रम्प बाजेले सबै पेड गरेको।
