Reply #20: ahhh, more inclusive ... [View All]

there you go ... see, i agree, we should be more inclusive ... and you don't achieve that by handpicking candidates ... do you??

you become more inclusive by having an open and competitive primary process where all candidates, at least theoretically, have an equal chance to be heard and put their ideas before primary voters ... and that goes for the party's platform too ... we need to start asking people why they aren't voting ... we need to start asking people why they aren't registered Democrats ... we need to open up the party and invite those who feel alienated by how the party has been doing business to participate ...

you're saying all the right things but endorsing an action that does just the opposite ...
