    The Dems cheat heavily in the primaries. As someone who votes in them and pays attention to the minutia of rule changes and who’s in the bureaucracy, I know. The most obvious cheating was with Bernie in 2016, if you feel like learning about this fact.

    When it comes to your false equivalency about the tea party, what you’re leaving out is money.

    See, the Pubs cheat in primaries too. Normally, the tea party would never have gained power. What got the tea party to the position where they could take over, was billions and billions and billions of dollars in funding, over decades.

    Can you think of some hundred billionaires who’d like to donate heavily to the long-term goal of destroying their own power? Then we could easily take over the Democratic party in only the span of a generation. Without the billions, forget about it. There is a buy-in to go to war.

    The fact that you don’t know any of this, brings into focus why you believe as you do. I love your passion. We need your passion fighting the right things at the right times. So you’d benefit us all and yourself if you looked into everything I’m saying.

    Vote, vote in primaries, but neither will fix the issue so you should be doing other things too, and definitely not attacking allies as if they’re simply not trying hard enough to bang their heads against a brick wall.

      The “cheating” (prove that shit, by the way) wouldn’t amount to diddly fuck if goddamn progressives and leftists actually goddamn voted in the fuckin primaries.

        Your attitude makes the whole viewpoint you espouse, look puerile and foolish. Not only are you not converting anyone, you are actively driving people from your cause. Which I can only assume now is your goal.

        After 2016, the DNC got sued and stated in court that they are a private entity that does not have to abide by their primary results, that their primaries are just for show. It’s part of the public record.

        There is plenty of other information for you to find on the 2016 DMC shenanigans leading up to that court case, but you come of as terribly disingenuous. So this pointer in the right direction is all the labor you’ll get from me.

          Hey, vote in the fucking primaries or shut the fuck up. Tell me specifically how telling people to fucking vote since it’s the bare fuckin minimum political engagement is actually trying not to get people to vote. You got some fuckin republican logic here. Vote in the fuckin primaries. If you didn’t vote in the fuckin primaries then you are part of the problem. Once fuckin again my position consists of VOTE IN THE FUCKING PRIMARIES. Fuck the rest of your bullshit.
