“It’s us or the horror of Trump!”
You’ve articulated the Democratic elite party line perfectly. Chef’s kiss. They have you by the brain stem.
As if there have been no other promising Democrats in California primaries for 30 years… SMH
I'm not American, I'm Canadian and we pretty much have the same issue here, it was vote for Trudeu again, AGAIN. or vote whatever stinky, wet noodle they had running up against him. Feinstein stayed in power because she was essentially unopposed. Nobody of merit wanted to lose face by going up against her. Voting for a republican is not an option, so the only other option is to not vote for any of them. Which is what I did in the last Canadian election, I made it clear that my vote was cast for nobody on purpose, which is tracked as a purposely botched vote, which at least lets the person in power know they are not liked either
You’re right the party apparatus becomes a barrier. They wayyy overplayed their hand with her. I’m sure that election after election they told themselves “it’s more important to win this time than pave the way for the future.”
And I’m sure that election after election she told herself “I’ll keep serving as long as the voters tell me to,” probably willfully oblivious to the fact that the fix was in on her behalf.
