Dear Skinner- a plea for the remainder of the primary season

[Rebkeh]

95. Agreed

Enough with the attempts to control the narrative, to shape public perception, in order to suit the agenda of a handful of people. This is not the media, this is a forum. The people will decide, unless you want to admit that this is not a democracy? That this country is not authentically a democratic one, much less the party. If DUers are silenced for not marching in lockstep with the establishment, you can no longer call it a democracy either. Because, who are we kidding, the appearance of democracy is not of, for or by the people at all. So, which is it? You can't have it both ways.

If you insist on faux democracy, we are all done here. The name of this place will be a misnomer and if that's the case, why bother? Step up, call it what it is.

The members should decide, nobody else. Kind of like how union membership wants one candidate when its leadership endorses another.

I hope the admins know better. I hope they choose to be on the correct side of history.
