The beauty of our system of government is anyone can run. You don’t like her, run against her or STFU and quit screaming at the clouds.

You act like primaries are fair...

Even the DNC stopped doing that years ago, why do you still believe it?

The Court continued, “For their part, the DNC and Wasserman Schultz have characterized the DNC charter’s promise of ‘impartiality and evenhandedness’ as a mere political promise—political rhetoric that is not enforceable in federal courts. The Court does not accept this trivialization of the DNC’s governing principles. While it may be true in the abstract that the DNC has the right to have its delegates ‘go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way,’ the DNC, through its charter, has committed itself to a higher principle.”

No, no. You see buttery emails and stuff, they never deliberately worked against Bernie to ensure Clinton won. Totally it was all the people voting.

if the dnc didn't like fucking up primaries, bernie's vp would be the front-runner in 2024. oh, and the country would be in a lot better shape than it is now, too.

i hope california can come up with a candidate that can challenge pelosi in the primaries.

I'm not saying the DNC isn't biased. But it looks like that was a legal arguments made by lawyers. Generally, they make every argument they can fit into their brief.

It was only their lawyers and the person running it at the time that said it, that doesn't count!

Shahid Buttar was a very good candidate running against Pelosi. DNC wasn't happy and the idiot Dem voters from the District just fell in line behind the incumbent as both party's voters tend to do. It's just a fucked up, dysfunctional system we have going here.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lookee there. The candidate didn't get the support or votes and lost. Therefore it's a dysfunctional system. If you added "and it must be destroyed" you could join the Republican party. Candidates lose. It happen every election.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a dysfunctional system because of the way it is. If you can't see it...well, I don't know what to tell you. I would love to get a pair of those rose-tinted ignorance-is-bliss glasses.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago

All I know, friend, is that the same system has worked for over 100 years.
