Someone with a strong legislative, judicial, or executive record should be the candidate.

So yeah, the candidate should be someone that’s been with the party for a long time

saying it doesn’t make it true.

the kind of candidate you want to support is the one that’s been working their way through party leadership for 20 years.

this is exactly who my candidate is not.

Are you suggesting that famous people from outside the party should be placed at the top of the ticket?

no…you’re making a leap of logic

you’re the one who brought up so-called third parties.

I vote for people I want to win. if you want to fix your party, have at it.

I love my philosophy training. one of my professors was a logician, who taught 2 separate courses on philosophy of science, and 3 logic courses culminating in one on epistemics. I feel like the single most prepared person in my life to deal with the modern media landscape, and practicing my skills each day keeps me sharp.

I literally only consume right wing news. left wing news uses a lot of the same pedestrian rsophistry, but I hate beating up on people ostensibly on my team, or feeling like they’re the ones lying to me. I have no such compunction about Glenn Beck, mark Levin, or the chuds on YouTube, and so I never pull my punches and actually complete my analysis of their rhetoric (in my own head).

Voting in the general election against the worst party and voting in the primaries to make the other party better is a solution.

hasn’t worked for me yet

I don’t want to hear a word out of them

get off the internet

Donna Brazil would like a word. as would Michael moore

There were primaries every one of those years. There was no rigging of the primaries.

this is a lie, by the dncs own admission

Take part in the process and give your input when and where it matters or stop bitching about nobody listening to you.

stop bitciing about others discontent

Biden, Obama, and Clinton didn’t just magically appear and become contenders to the Democratic primaries. They spent decades as party members, working their way up from the bottom.

this is the whole ball of wax

you made an excuse for 2012, covered up the systemic corruption in 2016 and 2020, and made another excuse for 2024.

the dems haven’t had a primary since 2008

bye

“attack 'ems”?

Do you mean to say that it’s justified to slaughter the domesticated sheep because it doesn’t have the instincts anymore to run from predators?

no. I’m saying the natural lifespan of domesticated sheep is exactly as long as we decide.

wild sheep have not been domesticated. we are taking about different animals.

You also fail to mention that all sheep go to a slaughterhouse where they are killed by stabbing at a fraction of their natural lifespan.

what’s the natural lifespan of sheep without protection from predators and disease and starvation and dirty water and the elements and access to veterinary care?

please prove your claim
