(41 posts)You failed completely to address the point I was attempting to make. Is a "big tent party" something you're striving for even if it means the inclusion of warmongering oligarchs?
In response to your reply: I'm not sure what you mean when you say that progressives "can't gather enough votes", and are therefore cleansing the party of those they're supposedly afraid of. Do you realize that any so-called purge would happen via the ballot box? Without a primary, this scary purge you speak of wouldn't even be possible. So, the idea that we're incapable of getting out the vote and so, by getting out the vote in a primary we're purging the party, doesn't make very much sense.
Ironically, it seems to be the Ready for Hillary crowd who largely scoff at the of competition for the nomination.
