To my supporters, it is with deep regretâÂÂbut also with deep gratitudeâÂÂthat I am suspending my campaign today.

But I want to be clear with you: I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for the People. All the people.https://t.co/92Hk7DHHbR
I don't think it would be possible for DNC to revisit debate rules w/o a backlash (and Harris had qualified for the next one), but I am hearing a LOT of grumbling that Steyer can buy into a club that leaves Castro and Booker outside. https://t.co/GsbdlHEkzw

As it now stands, the next Democratic debate will be less diverse than the Republican debate in the fall of 2015

You definitely need to fix this, Democrats. https://t.co/4fQ7teGnuUpic.twitter.com/rDTUv3EBsJ
If the Democratic Party wants a field that's representative of its members and its voters, it probably shouldn't have two states as white as Iowa and New Hampshire vote first every year.

No matter your candidate, you have to recognize that going from the most diverse field ever in January to a potentially all-white debate stage in December is catastrophic.

The implicit racism and sexism of "electability" is deeply damaging to democracy.
