Thanks for sharing this. In local/state politics, single party rule without healthy competitive primaries almost always rewards fealty and unquestioning loyalty which usually results in cynicism, disengagement, and corruption. You can see it with the other side at the state level and see it in many one-party cities and counties on both sides.
I am thankful I just had a (rare) super competitive local primary in Cleveland in my ward, decided by 9 votes-- it got people engaged and hopeful.
The last election was real hard and given the stakes and desperation, I can understand the ferocity of some of those messages you received, but you are very right. What we see at the local/state level applies at the top too.
Matt. My sentiments exactly. The old guard needs to sit down, shut up and pass the baton to the fiery young people who can move the country forward. Full disclosure, I am a raging Independent who is royally pi**ed off at both parties but resigned to the fact that we will never have a third centrist party—we the people have been there, tried that a number of times in my life. No traction. So one of the parties needs to get their stuff together and go where the people are. The GOP is lost to their narcissistic sociopathic god and his fascist minions. The Dems must save our democracy. Not holding my breath.
The sooner you regards can finally realize it's not D v R, but ALL of us vs the zionists, the sooner we can get through this 4th turning. JFC the population of this planet is cooked. The same AIPAC/israel that owns the right, also owns the left. We either got a kacklin kamala married to a you know whew to fast-track us to Bolshevism or the joos play 5D chess and get the OTHER 1/2 of the country to also vote for their own demise by trojan horsing DJT (small hat democrat zionist) into pretending to be MAGA, when he couldn't be any more MIGA, then take us to Bolshevism.
I’m still angry at the Dems and I can’t be the only one. The party continues to pretend nothing was/is wrong while retaining an expectation to continue the madness and send the money. I completely agree there needs to be a process to clear the air, recognize past problems and apologize for short-cutting a campaign process only to land on a flawed solution that cost us dearly.
