    Bullshit, we never had genuine primaries.

      The primary was genuine. The DNC candidate support was not.

      Had they provided Bernie with the same media coverage and platform of support as Hillary, the passively informed wouldn’t have seen him as “the socialist who wants you to pay for other people’s kids to go to college.”

        It would be nice if MSNBC didn’t go on about Bernie literally executing them using the old Communist tropes too… Between corporate media and the DNC real candidates that aren’t just neolib assholes will never get a fair shake.

          Absolutely. Not to mention Cambridge Analytica’s manipulation of Facebook users through psychographic profiling having a huge influence on the boomers.

        I heard from media how aloof Bernie was. Then I heard him speak and talk to people during events and learned he was much less aloof than they made him out to be. All part of the business as usual party.

      There never are when an incumbent is running. I agree that that’s a bad thing, but it’s the normal thing and the same thing that happened this year.

        I agree and I want that to change after this fucking dumpster fire… but I honestly don’t understand the “But we haaad primaries” argument.
