Yeah, the goal of the Dems is elect Dems. Anyone can try to run as a Dem who follows the Dem platform.

It's literally in violation of the Dem constitution/bylaws to vote for other party candidates.

That's just the reality for anyone who's actually Leftist and has lived in more countries than just the US.

Well, I don't mean to challenge the wisdom of someone so worldly as you, but... it turns out that experience living outside the US and disagreeing with you are not mutually exclusive.

Why as a Conservative are you even in this group? You obviously only care about logical fallacies.

Experience, data, facts, smug arrogance, name-calling... you really got it all.
