The Democratic National Committee is harming the party by not sponsoring debates among presidential candidates. Let us hear what Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson have to say. What are you afraid of? We are Americans. We can take in debates.

If Kennedy gets the nod from the Green Party or the Libertarian Party, he can do real damage to Biden’s path to reelection. If he was in the fold, he would do less damage.

Democrats lose the moral high ground that they are defending democracy against Donald Trump and the MAGA crowd if they don’t allow other candidates a chance to speak within the party. Remember President Obama’s first debate with Mitt Romney? By all accounts he lost that debate and almost lost his presidency. He was rusty on debates because he had no opposition within the party for the nomination.
