Reply #47: But if they had succeeded they would have taken away the people's choices.

I don't think people understand how important the primaries are. This is where we put our true choice up. But if the party is discouraging or bribing candidates within the party to put up the candidate they think can win or should win, it is taking our choice away. I'm personally fed up with the fact that I never have a Democrat to vote for in the House because the Democratic Party in my district has decided that the seat can't be won because my congressional district is the reddest in California. I don't care. I want a name with D after it to check off on my ballot. In the meantime my asshole Congressman has a legacy seat that is really a throne. There is nothing democratic about that.
