the key here is “proper primary.” I can’t remember a time when they’ve had one that wasn’t fucked up in some way.

Three words: Hillary Rodham Clinton

It sure looked like Bernie was gonna kick her butt until the DNC decided they didn’t like a Democratic Socialist possibly winning. Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned for a reason.
