Democracy Now: Is DNC Afraid of Democracy?

[Nyan]

"...It wasn't the DNC that shut down the debates. It was Ms. Schultz. There was no meeting. There was no notice. There are no minutes. All the other members of that committee never got to...at least two vice chairs have come forward and said that they have read about it after...[on the database contract] the contractor company...Schultz's nephew was a principal...all of the principals have worked...for different Clinton campaigns..."

5. Be Sure to watch Bill Curry's Segment halfway inbetween! Very Insightful....

Its a Fascinating Discussion and they Come Back in PART II for More Discussion at Democracy Now Link!


We get analysis from two guests: Bill Curry, political columnist at Salon.com and former White House counselor to President Clinton, and Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and author of several books, including "Understanding ISIS and the New Global War on Terror."

12. Call it what it is: CORRUPTION

We need to stop talking like this kind of stuff is "just politics". The more people realize that our political system is actually full of corruption: Just like we talk about other countries. The more difficult it will be to blow off.

We are still tip-toeing around the uncomfortable subjects.
