    The DNC is considering not giving him the nomination regardless of his win of the primary.

    The Democratic National Committee does not decide State and Local nominations.

    They can’t even “refuse to nominate” for congression races. The only power they have is dictating the rules for the US Presidential Nomination.

    Other than the Presidency whoever wins the primary is the nominee under state laws. Otherwise they could’ve just “refuse to nominate” AOC (which they had no legal power to do btw).

    Their main power is mostly just money to buy propaganda. If people can just be smarter and ignore the propaganda, they could take over easily. The only reason the establishment maintain their power is because the people allows them to keep their power.

      Yes if people could ignore the propaganda the world would be a much better place.

      Too bad the literal function of propaganda is to sway people’s opinions for people who don’t give a fuck about politics.
