    but the majority of the rest of the Democrats

    Decades of neoliberals shenigans have conflated “the party” with individual elected representatives

    That was never how it was supposed to work

    We just took a big step in fixing that. Martin doesn’t play favorites, the winner of the primary is who the party will support, and they’re not gonna pick sides till a primary is over.

    The only reason a lot of those elected representatives are even still in office is the party fought off primary challengers for decades protecting them. They can’t win fair primaries, even with the money advantage
