Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Why does it matter? Candidates can’t be coddled in the primaries. The general is going to be dirty, you gotta play the game.

      Why does it matter that the game is rigged against people wanting to improve our country by implementing progressive/socialist-adjacent policy?

      Think about it just a bit and you’d understand why it matters lmfao

      The people in power are the ones with money, and they have a vested interest in keeping that power and money to continue growing.

        The primaries aren’t rigged. If you convince enough people to vote for you, you win. Others have that very same right ti convince them not to vote for you.

        You can say it’s not fair, but you cannot say it’s rigged. It’s false.

          When you control the MSM and have all the money in the world at your disposal to sink the other candidate with deceit, it’s almost as good as rigging it.

          Sure it’s not literally rigged where people’s votes don’t matter but it’s literally right up to the line.

            That’s what people said about Hillary in 2008 and I don’t remember her winning the Primary.

              Lol because enough people hated her enough to not vote for her or to (bleh) vote for Trump, the only one using populist rhetoric (even though we knew he was full of shit)

                    She ran against Obama in 2008, and despite being the media and party favorite, lost to Obama who received more votes.
