    I’d argue a Russian-style “election” isn’t an election, since the result is preordained by a single group of oligarchs, so it wasn’t really a primary in 2020. I guess the bright side is now they don’t even pretend to let their electorate vote anymore, so it’s honest at least.

    Even if the DNC started having token primaries again (which I’m skeptical of now that they’re openly using their national party power to bar candidates from state primary ballots) even a Schumer-backed Obama-style “revolution” from within the party’s center-right leadership will be rendered impossible with South Carolina as the first state. It’s alllllllll Hillaries from here on out…
