(150,482 posts)has realized its mistake and won't be doing that again. No input from me was needed. There's plenty of input right there.
It is precisely up to the voters in each district to choose their own representatives. if a candidate doesn't meet their standards, they have options in the election. Even in this election, OAC's primary opponent's name will still be on the ballot. He was the incumbent Democrat before she won the primary, but also ran as the endorsee of a third-party. If the voters choose, they can vote for him freely.
Not every Democratic candidate in the country would be my choice in my district. We select our own candidates here. Every district should do the same.
I cannot have any real impact in a district in New York, so I leave their choices to the voters of that district.
