Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The Democratic Party political machine, in collusion with Chuck Schumer, other Democratic party leaders, a super PAC, and Wall Street billionaires, spent $15 million in 2020 Senate primary races to intervene in these races and push their hand-picked corporatist candidates that will do their bidding, and prevent progressives from winning. This occurred in such important states as NC, Colorado, Kentucky and more. This really just goes to show how corrupt the entire system is, that a party which claims to be in support of legitimate and ethical elections would intervene in races to make sure the candidate THEY want is selected, rather than just letting voters choose for themselves as it should be if the Democratic Party had any credibility or ethics.

Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Also, anyone supporting or being okay with this means you're no better than Republicans who use voter suppression tactics to win, since this is a form of voter suppression by putting their hands on the scales and deciding what type of candidates voters get to choose between.

KindnessPunk28 1,506 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 This literally isn't news. We've known for ages every election in the United States of Amerikkka is a farce. The establishment always gets their way even when we the people cast our ballots. Call me when things start actually changing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevana229 1,916 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I don't get it... nobody was FORCED to vote for those candidates... sure, the democratic machine pushed and funded who they wanted to be the nominee, but people still need to VOTE FOR THEM to win. it's not like someone forced them to vote the way they did... Republicans, Democrats, and even Green Party candidates do this.. its politics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC went to the polls and voted like I did - with the only intention being to get Trump the hell out of office, and strategically knowing that this was NOT the year for a revolution on the left. I’ll support a more left platform in the future, but this was not the year. And that’s how most voters voted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
