Democracy is when they give you no choice but to vote for one guy and then make you vote for him.

And when they do it’s because they pulled a Juan Guiado - opposition party refuses to run because they wouldn’t win, then America comes in to say that Maduros party running unopposed is undemocratic.

“vote for Joe!”

“No. But at least wait until like next fall to tell me that. We could have a prim-”

“No primaries. Vote Joe!”

🤦

I’m old enough to remember when the media held a gun to my temple telling me I was a sexist if I voted for Obama over Hillary in the 2008 primaries. Actually if they want Joe to win they should run Hillary again. I will always go vote against her. Because I hate women, probably. Not anything she’s said and done.

Legal challenge? It’s the DNC! They explicitly get to make their own rules. Primary elections do not exist within the framework of the US Constitution. 30+ years of this country being governed solely via lawsuit has broken a lot of people’s brains.

They probably know this, but filing a lawsuit (or just saying that they will) will get their names in the media, thus raising their profile. Can’t speak for Phillips (might just be a careerist) but Williamson is a grifter.

By liberal logic, since they are not having a primary they are preventing people from voting for Joe

And since every non voter is 10 votes for Trump, Trump is the DNC candidate

More seriously, looking forward to one of Trump or Joe dying in office
