Democratic presidential candidates Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson slam the DNC for “destroying democracy” in NH primary debate Phillips @deanbphillips: “This is one of the most egregious affronts to democracy I’ve ever seen… Please take note: the parties are destroying democracy.” Williamson @marwilliamson: “What’s going on now is suppression, shutting down [state] primaries, as Dean was saying. In my case, the invisibilization of my campaign in general. Because there’s a political-media industrial complex. This is not the vision of the Founders.”
