Petition Against a Contested Convention and Democratic Party Corruption

We the people refuse to acknowledge the results of a contested or brokered Democratic National Convention. Contested or brokered conventions are undemocratic in that they ignore the decisions of millions of voters and the campaigning of millions for their candidate. Instead, the convention allows party elites to pick their own candidate via deals in smoke filled rooms. We the people reject the paternalistic notion that The Party knows best. We the people will speak through our votes and our voice will be heard.



The DNC has been openly hostile to Senator Bernie Sanders and is coordinating to deny him a fair election process. Candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bloomberg are both explicitly and implicitly are campaigning for a contested convention by remaining in a race that they have little to no chance of winning. The rules of the nomination process have become perverted to incentivize remaining in the race long enough to deny any one candidate from receiving a majority of delegates. Meanwhile, candidates like Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar have strategically ended their campaigns to allow Joe Biden to receive more votes.



We the people will not support the Democratic Party during the 2020 November election or after if as long as the party remains corrupt and continues to undermine democracy. We the people reject the notion of democracy for the few. The nominee for the Democratic Party must be the candidate who receives the most votes. If no candidate receives a majority, a runoff election between the two candidates who receive the most votes should determine the nominee.
