Our establishment politics is run by elites within elites. DNC poll requirements are a perfect example, a situation with no transparency but with power to block candidates not anointed by a gatekeeper class. In America there should be no gatekeepers; only the people should decide

no, she's wrong about it, and i'm saddened you would agree with her. you didn't meet the established criteria. the rules are the rules, and they were not a secret. if you don't like them, don't run.
Wait. Let me understand this. I thought the rules were written by the Founders, who wrote into the Constitution who is qualified to be president. You think the DNC should "rule" this? I think not. It isn't about Tulsi or me or anyone else; it's about our democracy.#notanother2016

Type it slower next time. Perhaps she would understand better.

That's exactly what this is.

There were no parties when the Constitution was written, dingbat. Washington explicitly warned against parties in his farewell address. Every rule related to parties was written well after the Founders had done all their founding.

Might want to team up with Tulsi and do some kind of protest?!

She does not need to. She has a growing base of supporters who are and will continue to step forward and act on our declaration of independence to replace a government that is not fulfilling its duties.

You thought wrong, Moonbeam. You can keep running (you shouldn't) but the DNC is under no obligation by either the Founders or the Constitution to give you stage time with the serious candidates for their party's nomination.

Fact check, TRUE.
