Primaries don’t mean shit when the DNC puts their thumbs on the scale to make sure candidates like Bernie lose the nomination. The problem is at least in part the DNC itself

And Martin ran Minnesota for a decade, he’s never endorsed a candidate before the primary, never put fingers on the scales, and the result was the state going from purple to progressive insanely quickly.

I think you missed that...

The problem is at least in part the DNC itself

The problem is you think 2016 DNC has anything to do with 2026 DNC...

Acting like it does, just makes everyone aware of your ignorance of our political system.

I'd try explaining it, but we saw how well that went last time

The problem is you think 2016 DNC has anything to do with 2026 DNC...

The 2016 DNC is the same as the 2020 DNC and the 2024 DNC. If you think the DNC has changed because one guy got moved into a new role, you'll need to back that up with actual receipts not just empty rhetoric and future promises.
