BOY, Someone/s Must Really Be Frightened By Senator Harris

147. I only fear she will be coronated and not fairly nominated

Shades of Hillary. Oh she was legally nominated, but not without a fairly concerted effort by the media and party officials, who are supposed to be neutral.

I worry that with enough donors and party bosses, her nomination becomes a fait accompli. The primary should be fair and open to everyone. Anyone should have a fair chance to be president, not just the names spoken about in smoke-filled rooms.

It's a curious thing. We are supposed to be the party for equality and egalitarianism, a party that gives opportunity to everyone, and yet the primary process is so influenced by money and connections that few will ever get the chance. This thread is yet another example: a loyalty test implying that anyone who favors another candidate is a malevolent agent. It's tiring and a factor in why we lose so often.
