Their rationale is that spending money in primaries draws funds from the general election against the republicans.
This is a terrible decision, one that will exclude newcomers, particularly women and people of color, who have been fighting literally for centuries to get included. We desperately need fresh blood, new ideas, radical approaches to making our government work for all of us.
While I understand the position that drawing money away from the general election is costly, it is more costly to emulate totalitarian, authoritarian regimes, which discouraging voting and challenges at any level does.
Contact the DCCC and tell them this is a bad policy.
Contact your Congressperson and tell them they don't have your vote if they don't fight this.
