    Let me know when the DNC starts counting your primary votes any more than the CCP.

        I feel like there was a party that went on endlessly about how democracy was its own virtue for 8 years… say what you want about the GOP, they have a democratic primary process the party doesn’t rig ahead of time…

        [edit: I LOVE how you party line sheep mass downvote me when I call out your bullshit, it is why I live, tbh, keep giving me fuel with your impotent downvoting instead of starting a political movement that competes with the GOP and just cockblocking us]

      The DNC did count primary votes. What evidence is there to the contrary? Are you talking about the superdelegate system that some argue kept Bernie from being the candidate in 2016 and that was subsequently eliminated? Yeah they still counted very vote in 2016 and Hillary had more. I didn’t like it either, but knew plenty people who were excited about her.

      Yeah it’s shitty our privately ran parties don’t have fair primaries, but it seems better than having a dictator

      I feel like only one of us thinks these are both bad governments.
