It's entirely appropriate for a party to pick a candidate and make its preference known to primary voters. The idea, widespread among young people, that parties should be neutral. That's stupid. Yes, go ahead and @ me.https://theintercept.com/2018/04/26/steny-hoyer-audio-levi-tillemann/ …
What are you thanking him for? Nobody that I know is claiming that Dem leadership can’t or shouldn’t intervene in primaries. But they should do it publicly. Or that a silly, naive thing to want too?

I thanked someone for putting a thread together because I felt it represented my thoughts and feelings well. My apologies for doing so. DCCC isn't perfect as we can see NY-24 but they're not some evil organization out to stop progressives.

Thanks.

I think we should look at the DCCC in a case by case basis. CA-39, NY-24, TX-07: Bad And CO-06, WA-05, AR-02, CA-21, KS-02, NM-02, OH-01, UT-04 are just some races they've done well. I see people complaining that they shouldn't be able to endorse before primary. That's nuts.
-
Genuine question: can you think of a competitive Dem primary where the DCCC came in on the side of the left candidate? I’m sure it’s happened, I just can’t think of any.

Well in AR-02 Clarke Tucker's serious opponent is pro life so there's that, Colin Allred in TX-32 is a Justice Democrat if that counts for anything, and Randy Bryce? He's fairly left given he's proposing to abolish ICE, and prosecute Exxon.

bernie pulled a wool over all of your eyes. the benie loyalist journalists either ignored the facts, or twisted them to make bernie a victim. you are desperate to prove bernie was cheated, thus everything looks like a conspiracy. not much diff between intercept and prison planet

bernie was very public when he made deals with the party to curry support from them, over actual democrats, when he ran for house and senate, right? he spoke loudly about the fundraising deals he made or agreeing to caucus w/dems if they shut out his primary opponents, right?

bwahahaha. that's the main premise behind 'the party rigged the primaries that's why berners hold up that ridiculous sun times article as proof debbie admitted to rigging, when all she did is state what you did,. sell that to fellow bernie loyalists, who don't know better.
