    There’s no better example of why the dem party needs to get money out of primaries than NY “Dems”.

    If they could win elections as Republicans they’d be running as Republicans.

    And honest candidates can’t compete against millions of dollars spent in primaries.

    The party doesn’t care. Because all they care about is donations.

    But we don’t need all those corporate/dirty donations if we run candidates we actually like.

      Dems like Hochul and Mayor Adams are the worst, truly representatives of modern conservativism within the party.

      This is why if MAGA loses in November and if a GOP collapse from being broke and lacking support happens we’ll probably see the Dems go back to being the Right/Conservatives while a new Left/Progressive party emerges, or at least that’s what should happen in a functional adversarial democracy.
