    The heck is even the logic here?

    Something along the lines of “We’re the DNC. So FUCK YOU! We’re not allowing there to be another option that isn’t just straight up fascist”

      I don’t understand this. The point of the primary is to compete within the party. If the candidate with the best platform for the parties voters win then that’s good. Stop trying to get people to vote for the worse platform because “race.” That being said I would prefer the DMC to only put a thumb on the scale when the candidate is very outside the parties values (fetterman)

        You might not be deep into the lore, but Debbie Wasserman Schultz is like, she orchestrated the fix within the DNC to prevent Bernie from beating Hillary as head of the DNC. She put as much weight as she could on the scales to ensure a Trump versus Hillary contest, effectively setting up the modern fascist movement as we understand it today.

        So…

        The point of the primary is to compete within the party.

        The point of the party is to run the primaries in such a way that no actual competition happens.
