What planet are you guys from???
This has absolutely nothing to do about trump,nothing to do about the Republicans and nothing to do about the 14th amendment and I doubt most of you even know about the 14th amendment. But that's for another thread
This is about the dnc ousting democratic candidates off the ballot and going against their own bylaws. It has nothing what so ever to with what you guys try to throw in here

Other competitors are off the ballot because the Republican pick (Trump) is a god forsaken traitor to the union, as is everyone else who associated with him and was otherwise associated with J6th. There is no other decent Democratic pick that has announced they are running (yet). There is no competition because nobody from the GOP is eligible for office, nor has anyone from the DNC stepped forward to run.
"In order to get on the ballot, you need to have donors in the state and be actively campaigning in the state," North Carolina Democratic Party spokesman Tommy Mattocks reportedly said in December.
This doesn't mean that you need to have donors and be campaigning in the state to win the state's electoral vote. You can still write in someone who can win, if they are running or not.
This whole thing is about the DNC not wanting someone to run, to represent the DNC, if they do not have ties to the DNC in SC.
They aren't barring anyone else from being put on the ballot. Go on the green party, anything else. Just not as someone who is under the DNC.
It's like your boss not allowing you to be head of the office in Hawaii, because you live in Pennsylvania and don't have a permanent place to live in Hawaii, or you are not allowed to visit the state of Hawaii because you tried to overthrow the volcano.
So if the criteria to represent the DNC in SC is that you have donors in the state, and you have campaigned in the state, then don't put your name on the ballot of the DNC. I see nothing wrong here, other than the fact that the two party system we have continues to fuck over everyone who isn't already one of the haves. It's designed to keep out the have-nots.
So stop telling at the Dems for doing what they have always do. Step back, see that this fault is a direct result of having a two party system.
