  • The primary voters in New York City just selected a leftist. The establishment is passed, but he’s their nominee.

    You know why Bernie didn’t get nominated? Because he lost the primaries. It wasn’t swung by superdelegates. They didn’t fix the vote. Yeah, they clearly preferred the corporate dems, but all the “interefering” they did was getting the party establishment (that had been selected through primaries) to push for their preferred candidate.

    Trump wasn’t an establishment Republican until he won the primaries, and then the establishment who opposed him was primaried. He transformed the party in just a few years by getting his base to show up and vote in primaries.

    The left needs to learn from that.
