(39,909 posts)... I have witnessed the Party interfering in local Democratic Party Primaries,
and using National Money to steamroll local grassroots candidates.
This thread from Minnesota, 2005 is interesting:

The local Liberal, Grassroots candidate actually posted to this thread after Rahm's Thugs and the DCCC made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
or google: "DCCC Kingmaking"
Democratic Primaries are rigged WORSE than national Elections when is comes to Fixing It so the Business Friendly Conservative WINS!!!
I seriously don't know what the solution is,
but my Wife & I moved to The Woods in Arkansas and started growing our own food soon after the episode in Minnesota.
We weren't really surprised to see the National Democratic Party rescue the Witch Who Killed the Public Option.
The hardest part was enduring the taunts and ridicule from the White House
for supporting a Pro-LABOR Democratic challenger, and watching the Oval Office Endorsement of The Witch Who Killed the Public Option played 24/7 the week before the Democratic Primary.

I'm STILL mad at that betrayal...
and so are a lot of other Pro-LABOR Arkansas Democrats.
