      You pretending they do not exist does not change reality. Presidential is not the only race, nor is it even the most important overall

        Pretending that the primaries (when they happen at all) are fair doesn’t mean they are.

        The party went to court and successfully argued that they don’t have to run honest primaries. Anyone who suggests primaries as a means to end the entrenched conservative hegemony in democratic party leadership knows better and is gloating.

          So your response is that you’d rather watch the country burn in hell than vote democratic to stave it off?

          Anyone who suggests primaries as a means to end the entrenched conservative hegemony in democratic party leadership knows better and is gloating.

          Fair? When did I say fair? They’re not fair. But, the votes in them are not rigged.
