“When I don’t get the result I want I call the election rigged.”
Democrats successfully argued in court that they do not have to run honest primaries. Democrats selectively protect centrist incumbents like Henry Cuellar but not progressive incumbents like Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman. Democrats sued as many candidates off as many ballots as they could in 2024. Democrats denied us a primary in 2024.
It’s a documented pattern of behavior. Stop gaslighting just because it results in genocidal shit candidates you like.
Guess we’ll just go with the felon rapist backed by a party of criminal traitors who are now destroying our economy, flagrantly violating the Constitution, and, oh yeah, executing American citizens in the street.
Seems like the smart thing to do when we’re upset at Dems for, checks notes, not being perfect.
Democrats successfully argued in court that they do not have to run honest primaries.
Actually, what they argued is that the court and outside groups have no legal standing to dictate how the Democrats select their candidates.
Why go through the lengthy trouble of proving a primary was fair, when you can just point out that there is no law that says they have to be. That’s the result of hiring a good lawyer.
Edit: The same is true for the republican party, the green party, and any other political party in the US.
They argued that it was their party and they could anoint whoever party leadership wanted (the phrase “smoke filled room” actually came up) without input from the voters, and you like the results so you’re making excuses.
I notice how you ignored the rest of my comment which establishes this as part of a larger pattern of behavior.
Edit: The same is true for the republican party,
I love how we can’t act like republicans under circumstances where doing so might help constituents, but when the party wants to put its thumb on the scale against progressives, everyone does it so it’s ok.
I didn’t actually like the result of the 2016 primary…
But I can also tell when one number is bigger than the other, and I know that rule number one is keep trump out of office and rule number two is vote for your best candidate in the primary, and the least worse candidate in the general.

Gotta love you saying this, and then immediately taking part of my comment out of context to create a “gotcha” moment I’d expect to see on Fox News.

I’m sorry no one was running to the right of Clinton in the primary.
I know that rule number one is keep trump out of office
Rule 0 is keep progressives out of office, and it takes precedence over rule 1.

If you’re going to ignore most of my comment to pretend that democrats run honest primaries after an election cycle in which they denied the voters primaries entirely, don’t expect greater courtesy than you offer.
You’re being downvoted by the kind of people that are still crying about Bernie being cheated while being completely unaware that he lost the popular vote in both primaries. They’ve already created their own reality and don’t like it when people try to burst their bubble.
These are people who will throw a fit if a candidate doesn’t blow them even when the other option is a felon rapist backed by a party of criminal traitors.
They’re lost causes and they’re probably going to solidify a fascist party’s permanent control over our federal government.

Who do you sound like?
Americans will point the blame at anyone other than themselves.

Welp.

Gaslighting is abuse.
