      No it’s not, if they wont allow anyone to primary them then it’s assumed there is no other choice

        It’s a “the system is broken but we have to play with the rules” thing. We can protest/protest/canvas for new voting rules to get third parties more chance to be in congress, but I can’t see the presidency ever changing in a regular setting.

          They designed a system that’s broken for us, works perfectly for them and demand we participate in it

              Then democrats better start earning votes instead of demanding them. "We are not them’ isnt good enough.

                In a democracy the citizens aren’t customers that need to be courted (though they often behave that way, to their own detriment). Rather, the citizens are participants. Sometimes, maybe usually, the whole process isn’t fun and enjoyable. Sometimes elections are like root canals: undesirable, but the alternative is a lot more pain and problems down the road.
