DNC primaries are nothing more than a livestock auction for donors. Libs will cry a big game about FPTP election systems and our need to overturn CU, but will ignore any of those major systemic contradictions when it happens to affirm their worldview

Imagine if they made the excuses for voters who pretend FPTP doesn't exist, that they make for politicians who pretend FPTP doesn't exist.

Acknowledging the failures of the democratic system is by definition an acknowledgement of the lack of agency in voters

You can't both acknowledge FPTP and deny it as voter disenfranchisement - they are one in the same.
