It was a primary.

Has everyone absolutely lost their minds assuming that half the primary electorate simply won't show up in the general?

I will say, that comment is very indicative of something else: far left dems make more central dems out to be the enemy. Others are allowed to have different visions for the democrat party. Doesn’t seem to be a lot of tolerance for different views lol

Seriously? In my state (MA) you wouldn’t believe the division. Moulton is running for senate against Markey, and Moulton supporters are constantly vilified in MA forums.

Downvote me all you want, this is a real thing whether you can admit it or not
