    Democracy in the party flew the coop when we didn’t have a real primary this year. Having a single candidate is not democracy. It’s a rubber stamp oligarchy.

      Just like democracy was destroyed in 2012 when there wasn’t a real primary for Obama. I guess we’ve just been drifting in a sea of fascism ever since.

          Why wasn’t democracy destroyed then? C’mon, show a little consistency! Go ahead, it’s not like anyone is falling for the “Very Concerned And Democratic Voter” at this point. It’s quite clear that you don’t give a single good goddamn about democracy except insofar as it allows you to undermine anyone who isn’t a fascist. Like how you decried the DNC for not being democratic enough and then immediately pivoted to claiming the DNC should disregard the voters entirely.

            I never said democracy as a whole was destroyed. I said the party is looking for people to rubber stamp it’s oligarchs. If you want to be dismissive that’s fine but at least keep up.
