    How are Oregon’s primaries unfair?

      They’re controlled by the DNC, a private for-profit corporation with a vested interest in favoring some candidates over others.

      To think that an even playing field is possible under their full control is ridiculously naive.

        How is the DNC a for-profit corporation? Who are the shareholders on whose behalf they act?

        Without intent to offend, your comment sounds extremely conspiratorial.

          That it’s a private corporation I base on their own statement in court, affirmed by a judge

          The court recognized that the DNC treated voters unfairly, but ruled that the DNC is a private corporation; therefore, voters cannot protect their rights by turning to the courts

          As for it being for-profit, that’s the only logical explanation for why they insist on strategies that are electorally disadvantageous but profitable, such as acting in favor of the 10% wealthiest much more often than their constituency in general and moving to the right every time the Republicans do, losing more prospective voters than they gain.
