Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumWe are the Democratic Party, are we not?
All of this handwringing about whos still in versus who needs to drop out is pretty disgusting, coming from people who are members of a party that calls itself the Democratic Party.
Let people vote for the (remaining) candidate of their choice and let the chips fall where they may.
No back room dealing. Raise money, do town halls, run your ads, have rallies, and let people vote for who they want.
If Amy wants to stay in the race, let her stay in the race.
If Pete has a snowballs chance in hell of winning Super Tuesday, so what.
If Biden stays in Fourth Place even after Super Tuesday and still wants to stay in, let him.
Maybe Warren is gonna surge before Super Tuesday. Lets take a look at her in the SC debate and see if she still has steam.
Some of us havent voted yet. For all of whats good about Democracy, can you at least entertain the thought that those of us who havent voted yet would actually like to vote for the (remaining) candidate of our choice?

(6,900 posts)the one who benefits most from the establishment candidates splitting the vote. The one who attacks the leadership of the party derisively as "establishment."
If he wants new and different, then he should found a new and different party.
