would an All Bot discussion about Democratic primary politics be more interesting?

when canned responses become the norm, what exactly is the difference?
It is hard to imagine how much worse this corrupt process could become.
but harder to imagine it not becoming worse.

Tell me this primary isnt substantially worse than previous ones in terms of real issue suppression?

intransigent racism is behind so much of the faux race politics being parlayed as cover for the actual dynamics and record.
how many brown people do you have to kill to prove you arent racist?

Claim it to be a myth. Racism in all its forms is very real and a very big part of our social problems.
