This is about the Democratic primary. This is about the Democratic establishment pulling out all the stops against a progressive challenge.

Did you not read his entire post? You know, the part about MAGA billionaires funding his opponent?

Dems underhandedly nobbling a popular candidate in favour of some lobbyists' creature? Never heard of that, either.

Speaking of never heard of that... wtf is "nobbling"!?
