re: #16 Fourth Football of the Apocalypse

One of the Leftists I follow/list on Twitter was going on and on yesterday about how Democrats should want to have open primaries to draw more people to the party (and have declared Independents influence it because The Left deserves a Voice) and it was essentially corrupt to not have open primaries because the parties are so privileged in our election process, etc.

This would have been a good for The Left to have emphasized last year if they wanted to change it, and for those people who for whatever reason can’t find it in themselves to affiliate with a political party when they register to vote. But their complaining about it now is just very transparently all about a particular candidate at the moment.

The left needs to organize their own party. the Democratic Party does not exist for them to use as a tool to use and disuse at their will. If they wanted to register as Democrats to vote for Bernie in the primaries, they should have done that the second they thought that Bernie was someone they could vote for. I have no sympathy for them.
