We've seen this time and time again, from Ron Paul in 2012 to Bernie in 2016. The question is will the people rise up against this clearly corrupt system?

They did in 2016, and they protested at the DNC primaries final and then the DNC locked all the protesting Bernie delegates out of the convention center...

the DNC locked all the protesting Bernie delegates out of the convention center...

And why was this never addressed in the intervening years? I mean it sorta was, and the answer was "DNC is a private organization, they can do what they want"--so why wasn't that addressed? Whyy do we all just go to sleep for four years, only wake up to the same (only more sleezy and more entrenched) nightmare?
