    This pile of rubble speaks for itself.

    https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/9/10/2192537/-My-friend-s-dinner-comments-about-MAGA-inevitability-had-me-questioning-these-accepted-myths

    The best part is the closer....

    But I’m thinking: aren’t we already divided on whether Biden should run? And won’t a solid primary process actually confirm for us that we made a “choice” rather than risking being left with it taken somewhat out our of hands? We always come
    together when the primaries are decided, don’t we?

    But her third comment, had me thinking again:

    “I’m sure there’s much going on behind closed doors we don’t know about.” I agreed there. I hope it’s good stuff to come…. we could use it.

    Overlords to the rescue? Seriously...this is the talk of a cultist. It's crazy.

    And the comments are even better. I might have to sign up.

    Nobody here goes 'nutpicking' on RWNJ sites. Too easy but here's an
    example from a left-leaning blog:

    Yes, that's the definition of "nutpicking." It's a counterexample to
    what you did cherrypicking from DailyKos.

    BTW, hoping something positive is going on behind the scenes is not cult
    like. If you want cult-like, what's excusing a coup?

    And "you're all partisan drones" is an odd way to enter an argument
    about whether or not there should be a primary challenge to an incumbent.

    At least I was one level up referencing an actual article posted.
    Not comments from the peanut gallery.

    Let me think.....Staceylike.

    Can you really compare Republican primary meddling to dem authoritarian ironfist control?

    Good on you. It looked like you had cherrypicked a statement you didn't
    like and linked to more comments to be ridiculed.

    That presumably means something to you. Old-school bloggers remember
    Robert Stacy McCain.

    And "you're all partisan drones" is an odd way to enter an argument
    about whether or not there should be a primary challenge to an incumbent.

    Can you really compare Republican primary meddling to dem authoritarian ironfist control?

    Not without mentioning Republican primary meddling first, which I didn't do.

    I've complained about Schumer and Democratic party support for certain candidates, mentioning Howard Klein's Down With Tyranny as a source for
    anti Dem-lite content.

    Of course, this "control" you complain about is in service of choosing candidates to appeal to you, the persuadable Republican voter.

    At the Presidential level there's no credible Democrat to the right of
    Biden who could be elected. Do you think Lieberman will be invited to
    return to the ticket?

    So the dem party has gone left and a lot of it's voters are just starting to wake up to that sad state.

    We aren't talking about tickets.....or invites....

    But hey, if you can't handle free will... I guess I have to grant you that right.

    Biden is a centrist. It's the right that has disappeared.

    If you're talking about a primary challenge to Biden, you're talking
    about tickets.

    Do you need an invitation to run in your undemocratic dem party ticket?

    Democrats are generally center and center-left, although progressives
    are more willing to support the party, hopefully in return for less hippie-punching.

    Go ahead and remained fixed on that word. My meaning is clear.
