Gabbard won a delegate from America Samoa tonight and within minutes of that, Democratic party operatives raised the threshold for delegates, meaning, Gabbard won't be permitted in the March debate. See how it works?
"The establishment narrative warfare against Gabbard's campaign dwarfs anything we've seen against Sanders, and the loathing and dismissal they've been able to generate have severely hamstrung her run. It turns out that a presidential candidate can get away with talking about economic justice and plutocracy when it comes to domestic policy, and some light dissent on matters of foreign policy will be tolerated, but aggressively attacking the heart of the actual bipartisan foreign policy consensus will get you shut down, smeared and shunned like nothing else. “
