    Do you expect the power structure to bow to your moral superiority and hand you the election wrapped up with a bow on it?

    I expect the “democratic” party to live up to its name and have equitable rules for its primaries that it adheres to. And also to actually hold primaries consistently and not just make up excuses to disregard the will of the people.

    I get that you like the system that puts genocide supporters like yourself in office.

      You might as well wait for the Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea to hold up to its name too. Don’t be so naive.

      If you are waiting for your opponents to be fair, you will be waiting till you die. You have to be able to win in spite of it being unfair.

      I get that you like the system that puts genocide supporters like yourself in office.

      Pick a year and I will tell you which genocide or genocides this country was supporting. There are always a few. You don’t get to change that unless you take power and you don’t get to take power unless you win genocide supporters over to your side.

        You’ll act like it’s a reflection of progressives’ actual popularity when they fare how you prefer in a system that favors the genocidal candidates you want.

          It is. Get out of your bubble. Progressive is a dirty word to a lot of people. Get them talking about the ideas and they agree for the most part, but people hate the brand. That is where Mamdani was particularly successful. He was able to push the ideas to the forefront.

          Nice job dodging the topic when you don’t have an answer.
