What do the Democratic Debates have in common with DU?
In both of them,
criticize - you are OUT.
"rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) claims that she was uninvited from Tuesday's presidential primary debate after she appeared on MSNBC calling for more high-profile discussions between candidates."
Others said that Gabbard was not actually banned from attending. An unnamed person "close to the committee" told The New York Times that "[Gabbard] was not uninvited. The DNC team wanted this first debate to have all the focus on the candidates. Gabbard's people were told that if they couldn't commit to that, since Tulsi was trying to publicly divide the DNC leadership last week, then they should consider not coming."
gosh, where have I heard that argument before....?
requiem for democracy.
