      That is why the Democratic party drastically changed its primary rules after Carter was elected (to make them less democratic, and to give establishment elite party members more power).

      They tried to tighten the collar on the public even more when Occasio-Cortez primaried an establishment Democrat.

      The left-wing of the Democratic Party, including President Jimmy Carter, are the red-haired stepchildren of the party, and they’ll never let us forget it.

      There are more secret fascists than it appears who will Hail Hydra when Secret Hitler makes his appearance.

        The Democratic party tried to primary AOC 3 times afterwards, too ☠️

        Didn’t the rules change because Hubert Humphrey got snubbed by the DNC just flat out ignoring the primary results in states that had them?

          Hubert Humphrey got snubbed by the DNC just flat out ignoring the primary results in states that had them?

          I didn’t know this and am eager to find it. Was it during the 1968 election against Nixon?

            I don’t quite remember, all I personally have off the top of my head is that it was the major contributing factor to the chicago DNC riots, and an overhaul of the nomination rules to appease the folks who called fowl.

            Think “the superdelegates will only vote if a majority candidate isn’t found in the first round ballot” but I think it was actually even bigger when it happened.
