    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.

    I notice how you ignored the rest of my comment which establishes this as part of a larger pattern of behavior.

    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.
