    Because we don’t have any other choice in a first past the post system

    I mean, I still don’t have any faith in the current Democratic party as a whole, but I think our best hope is primarying as much corruption out as we can and just using the party as a vehicle for decent leaders

      The party leadership is corrupt. It regularly works against the interests of its voters in favor of its donors and its prerogatives. It is almost impossible to primary against the DNC’s backroom choices.

      The party is a vehicle for donors and the entrenched class of managers and consultants who rely on it to ensure their own continued paychecks and influence.
