The access isnt the problem, it's the fairness. The DCCC and DNC have their damn thumb on the scale, and try to swing every fucking primary to the most conservative candidate, even in safe races. Then people like you critisize third party voters as spoilers. You don't want a progressive third party to split the liberal vote, but you also don't think its a legitimate problem that the party actively opposes progressive candidates.That’s what primaries are for. Vote them out in the primaries and then show up in the general to vote for them if your candidate loses.
Seems more relevant to the GOP thread, go post about it over there. We're talking about the Democratic party here.Pubs did the same thing. Tea party wack jobs didn’t care and voted in their candidates.
I've provided plenty of evidence of that occuring in many races. I'm reading an article about it right now in Colorados 6th district where the DCCC is pressuring the progressive Levi Tilleman to drop out of the primary because they want Jason Crow to win it. You don't need any more evidence. You don't think it's a problem so no amount of evidence is enough for you.

Are you even a Democrat to begin with? Anyway. The party and the platform are not the same thing, and you know that. It's also very disengenious of you to pretend that left progressiveness is just a further extreme of establishment Democrat politics. That's not the case at all. There is nothing extreme or partisan about rejecting corruption or lobbyist controlled politics. You accept corporate politics because its satisfactory for you. You call it "pragmatic" because it's always been that way and you don't have the imagination to envision any other way.It’s because you don’t realize you are the same thing, the extreme. Think about how your views look when 50% or so already oppose the democrat platforms, throw in the moderate democrats that also oppose it and well yeah.
When the party itself is openly campaigning against one of thr candidates, that's not Democratic. Jesus. Turkey and Russia have "elections", are you going to claim those are legitimate Democracies?But it is. It’s controlled by voting for whoever you want to vote for in the primaries.
It's weird to me that Pelosi thinks that this helps either her or Lipinski. Does she not have a good grasp on her popularity? I'm told that she's good a whipping votes, but she hasn't been a good face of the party in a while.

Its an exaggerated comparison, dont be dense. Electioneering is unethical at every level, not just when Russians buy facebook ads.Dude. You are too far gone if you’re comparing DCCC endorsements to Putin.
