15. "Primaried into oblivion?" Please
Sat Feb 28, 2026, 01:15 PM
Saturday

What do you want, a clean sweep of our Dem leaders? The parties great, but it's elected leaders aren't?

These people who say primary everybody all the time seem to think that you can just fire everybody and there will be a mad rush by super qualified, wonderful people to replace them. And those wonderful people will just be dying to work for someone who likes to fire everybody all the time.
