    What the fuck are you talking about? All I’ve called for here is an open convention. Fuck, even Obama is behind that. It’s going to be a farce since the fix is in for Kamala, but a farce is better than nothing. Fuckin-a it’s amazing how some people think demanding a sliver of Democracy from the party literally running on saving Democracy is somehow a radical purist position.

    And no, the states don’t control primaries. They have authority to do a lot, but almost everything wrong with the Democratic primary system is directly addressable by the Democratic party(s) themselves. But that’s pretty irrelevant this cycle because the Democrats already stole that from us. The reform stance is that it be acknowledged and addressed for next time. An open convention is a tiny step in that direction.

      By all means, have your convention. Who gives a fuck? Talkfests are what’s it about.

      I would say you might lead with the convention point up front. “Remorm” as a word is mighty board.

      Anyway, chill. This is a long road.

        I’m pretty certain that “remorm” isn’t a word at all. If you mean “reform” then you might want to look back at who brought that word into the conversation. Keep your mighty board.
