The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

      2016 primaries were awful. DNC super delegates kept Sanders out, showing the worst aspects of super delegates. Establishment GOP couldn’t keep Trump out, showing the worst aspects of a lack of super delegates.

        Nah, that’s probably the only thing I applaud the RNC for. It was very clear that Trump was not their choice, but when their voters spoke, the RNC shrugged and said “alright, let’s party.” Where the DNC endlessly schemes and plots and weasels its way into running the footgun. Democrat voters groan “no, not the footgun again! What the fuck are you doing?!” And the DNC says “look, you don’t understand, it’s the footgun’s turn, they’ve earned it. We just need to compromise and blow our legs off one last time. Now is just not the right time to not blow our legs off. Americans just won’t vote for not blowing our legs off. And, I mean, what are they going to do? Vote for the guy with legs? Lol, lmao. Now hand me that gun.”

          That is why I get pissed off at the people who blame nonvoters for Trump and say blue no matter who. No. That kind of thinking it’s what lead down this path in the first place. You don’t keep participating in a corrupt system hoping it will get better. You destroy the system

      more or less the same donors as the gop, they arnt different, the only reason some of them are EVEN dems is that they are not right wing enough to be palatable to republican voters. they also make backdoor deals often, it was pretty obvious when mitch was still in control of the senate.

      They argued the same thing in the NY 2016 primary case. You know… the one where 120,000 people in King’s County just randomly got bumped off voter rolls a few weeks before the primaries with no recourse for registration.

        These roll Purges occurred all over the country. I got purged during the 2016 primary in California but there was still plenty of time to reenroll despite the lack of warning.

        I volunteered to work at a poll and countless numbers of voters were forced to vote with provisional ballots. Which meant they would be thrown away because they weren’t registered to vote (but they had been at that location for years and were registered to vote)

          Then the BoE folks all got huffy and “bristled” at the accusation there might have been foul play.

          So anyway, that’s how the democrats lost me. I may vote for a dem candidate if there weren’t a complete verminous sleazeball, but i’d vote for them on the WFP line or something.

      Okay comrade. You know that Communism is every bit as bad as Fascism and that Stalin was a mass murderer right?
