The way to save democracy is getting shady money out of the Dem primary so that the people who make it to the general actually want to fix it.
If we don't, then the people with a financial reason not to fix it, will never fix it.
We can't change it for the general without having the numbers to pass laws, so it's pointless to even discuss fixing the general till we fix the Dem primary.
All the "moderates" that take that shady money in primaries tho are going to bitch and.moan that we have to do it backwards, because they don't want it to happen
Just because someone has a D by their name, doesn't mean they want democracy
Sadly the people at the top of the party are those receiving the shady money. I don't see a path to fix corruption by voting for the people most benefiting from corruption. It is a catch22.
There wasn't even a real Democratic primary this time around. Just the establishment appointing Harris and telling everyone to get aboard.
I think you're even being too short-sighted on that because that's what they did with Biden.
Harris was a succession problem that they created by not giving Biden a proper primary to begin with.
Not at all. Harris is as much of a corporate ghoul as Biden.
What does that have to do with the fact that they didn't give Biden a primary removing any good options besides just raising his vice president when he dropped?
That's the neat part. It doesn't!
