    Allegation: the DNC exhibited overt favoritism in the primary process to ensure Hillary won the primary. Your response: but Hillary won the primary, therefore she won the primary!

    I’ve never argued that the DNC hasn’t played favorites or that the primaries are all totally fair and equitable. My point is always that the only way to get the nomination is by winning the popular vote, because a lot of people seem to think that it wouldn’t matter and someone else would be nominated anyway. We certainly won’t win by sitting out the vote, because all they’ve learned from that is they don’t have to campaign for your vote to win. Third party and Independent legislators hold fewer than 1% of the legislative seats at the state and federal level, so that’s not a viable option. The only thing we have is to all just fucking show up and vote.
