    I’m always baffled leftists can’t accept their candidates aren’t popular so that’s why they lose.

    Nothing to do with liberals.

      I’m baffled by your reply - what does it have to do with my comment? I didn’t even use the word “liberals”?

      My point is that party primaries are not fair, and they are not intended to be fair. The Democrats could make a primary rule that forbids socialists from even running as Democrats, and it would be entirely legal. Primary rules are not the same as general election rules. Any socialist trying to run as a Democrat should run under the assumption that the Party will put its thumbs on the scale.

          What do you think a Party even is? Do you think it’s a liberal social club? That the DNC is just a bunch of like-minded individuals?

          The Party is an institution, with its own leadership and structure and financiers and insiders. It’s an organization.

          It’s baffling that you don’t think a political party has a political agenda.
