This is great. The contrast: the elite of the party trying to control its powers and shut down discussion about issues versus a political revolution trying to energize the party and be open. The elite shuns people. The political revolution says: come sit with us.

CNN:
If Rep. Tulsi Gabbard needs a ticket to Tuesday night’s Democratic debate — Bernie Sanders has her covered.That was the message of Sanders’ campaign manager on Monday, responding to a report that the Hawaii Democrat had been uninvited from attending the debate by the Democratic National Committee.
“If she needs a ticket, have her give me a call,” Jeff Weaver said on CNN’s “New Day” on Monday. “I think we have a couple; we can give her one.”
A campaign that wants more openness and more discussion:
Weaver said the Vermont independent senator, running second in the polls to Hillary Clinton, is a supporter of more debates.”We would love to have debates: The more debates, the better,” Weaver said on Monday. “It’s healthy for the Democratic Party to have more debates.”
Weaver said more debates would keep media attention on Democrats and would feature the left’s flank of the party’s platform “on the frontburner.”
And as an aside, it’s amazing that this point is not part of the traditional media’s discussion: Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been a resounding failure during her tenure, with Democrats losing the Senate, having a historic deficit in numbers in the House and fewer governors. Aside from her attempt to shut down debate, how she remains chair of the party in the face of a record of abject failure only underscores the weakness of the party.
