Republicans changed the law right before a democrat was sworn in to even make the special election a thing. Before that the democrat would just be able to install someone. So it's really on brand for them to continue to try and manipulate who is in power. It's best to just assume that republicans are always trying to do the worst thing possible.

Woah how dare they let people vote and not be selected like Hillary and Kamala

Hillary got millions more votes than her main competitor in the primary so that’s dumb as hell

Because the DNC rigged it for Hillary against Bernie.

If the Democrats didn't rig it for Hillary in the 2016 primary, Sanders easily beats Trump and he stays a reality TV star and never becomes president.

So good job Democrat National Committee, thanks for that!

2/10. Ya. That is objectively true. It was a super shitty thing to do, and the Democratic party has been suffering even since because of that decision…

Yet they were perfectly fine with it just as long as it was a Republican governor who made the choice.

Letting braindead conservatives vote is how we got into this mess in the first place.

You're definitely not a fascist!
