So go vote for who you want in the primaries, and vote against who you don’t want in the general.

Alright. Please highlight in that statement where I said that the US was a perfectly functional and not systemically broken democracy?

Again I repeat (as many others while you keep on ignoring them in this thread), the problem here is that you keep on painting a picture where people have a say which is not the case.

Funny that you wrote this... And in the very next paragraph mentioned Mamdani winning despite the opposition from political insiders.

I don't think you are in a position to judge the fairness of an election process, as you seem convinced that Bernie should have been the DNC nominee despite losing by 3 million votes in the primary ( and again, that is votes not delegates) And yes, I'm going to call you out on that until you walk it back.
