Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: The notion that governors are delaying primaries to hurt the Democratic Party is insane bullshit. [View all]Just_Vote_Dem
(3,126 posts)36. Paranoid lunacy, my ass
It's a perfectly rational response to a political party, who for the last 40 years, has done little or nothing to improve quality of life in this country, but instead does such things as trying to destroy Social Security, food stamps, welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, hell, anything that would make life better for the disadvantaged. And don't forget racism and white supremacy-that's their favorite. They've been trying to get rid of Obamacare since it started, a program that literally saved my life.
So yeah, I hate them and mistrust them. And if that's "paranoid lunacy", so be it.

No, it is a dry run for the general...when they do it on a national scale. Fuck all Republicans.
