And it is why the Democratic Party has inherently anti-democratic primary processes.

When the Dem Party has been sued for this, the Party won the lawsuit by arguing they are a private organization and can run itself how it sees. The organization is not a democracy.

Thus, after the 2016 run, the DNC changed its rules to allow its leaders to ultimately choose the candidate no matter what the vote tally is.

@hejphen @rbreich

wow, i notice from this screed, & all of your other posts, that you focus all of your effort & posts on trashing the Democratic Party. nothing positive to say. also, nothing negative to say about the fascist Repugs

are you sure you're not maga cosplaying as blue just to troll? or is someone paying you to malign the Democrats on the anti-fascist platforms where maga scum gets immediately blocked?

@WorldTravelerAll7 @rbreich

You sound like someone not of the left at all

You didnt challenge anything of WHAT I said, but didnt like that I said it

You sound beholden to a party for the party's sake rather than holding principles on policies, rights, etc

I see the Republican Party as entirely a fascist project - filled w oligarchs, sycophants, & fascist idealogues

But billionaires & corporations - w no loyalties - know to buy all choices in consumerism
So they do it in politics as well.

@WorldTravelerAll7 @rbreich

That is why the Dem Party leadership has largely & corruptly abandoned the FDR principles of protecting working class interests and the corrupting influence of the "royalists"

Instead, immediately after the Nov 2024 election, Hakeem Jeffries flew to Silicon Valley to appeal to BigTech billionaire bros to support Dems, not Repubs

It's why Grifter Newsom opposes even the paltry billionaire tax of one time 5%.

I gave plenty of examples of such already.

@WorldTravelerAll7 @rbreich
I criticize Repubs as fascist, and even nazi-like all the time. So much that it goes w/o saying

(Note I earlier criticized Grifter Newsom for saying ICE are *not* terrorists. Unless that was on bluesky, not here)

Dems are the moveable party (maybe). The progressives defeating centrists are happening in Democratic primaries!
And then they typically win in the general... if the Dem establishment doesnt defeat them in the primary w their disinfo campaigns (akin to GOP)
