Don't mind me still sitting in the corner, pissed off that Virginia democrats have learned nothing from the failed presidential bid.

We DESERVE competitive primaries because without them candidates are more likely to cater towards corporate interests instead of constituent interests. We DESERVE them to know we actually have a choice in our democracy, and that this election is not merely a coronation in a trenchcoat. We DESERVE them because some of our gubernatorial candidates don't even list the damn issues they're campaigning about on their website.

Despicable and out of touch.

“This is the best case scenario for both of the candidates,” Farnsworth said. He noted that primaries often force contenders to cater to their party’s ideological base — sometimes at the expense of their appeal in a general election."
