    So go vote for who you want in the primaries, and vote against who you don’t want in the general.

    Alright. Please highlight in that statement where I said that the US was a perfectly functional and not systemically broken democracy?

    Again I repeat (as many others while you keep on ignoring them in this thread), the problem here is that you keep on painting a picture where people have a say which is not the case.

    Funny that you wrote this… And in the very next paragraph mentioned Mamdani winning despite the opposition from political insiders.

    I don’t think you are in a position to judge the fairness of an election process, as you seem convinced that Bernie should have been the DNC nominee despite losing by 3 million votes in the primary ( and again, that is votes not delegates) And yes, I’m going to call you out on that until you walk it back.

      Ok bud, you are just being pedantic now… I have explained it 1000x times…

      The gist is, what you said makes sense in a working democracy… even by your own admission, the USA does not have that… ergo, what you said is not really a good enough advice.

      Correct, to highlight that you are asking people to compromise with the Democrats when the Democrats would not compromise with the people.

      This is all plain to see… you just want to “be right” for internet points

        Being pedantic matters here, because you are countering a position I didn’t make. If you don’t want me to be pedantic about it, then either show I made the argument (by quoting it) or drop the argument.

        Correct, to highlight that you are asking people to compromise with the Democrats when the Democrats would not compromise with the people.

        Pretry sure Democrats did compromise with the people who voted in their primary. That’s the whole point of having a primary…
