But nevertheless, if you can submit your signatures on time, then you can be in the primary. And if you get the most votes, then you will win the primary.
If you can’t accomplish those two basic tasks, then you are not a good candidate. Even if you think it’s “unfair”. Step aside so someone better than you can do the job.
That’s not an excuse for running corrupted primaries. Unless you like the results, which you do. Up to and including losing to trump.
It’s clear that you’re happy with a party that doesn’t respect the votes of its members enough to run honest primaries. You’re just gloating about corruption, which is what I’ve come to expect from centrists.
If everyone obeys the law, then a primary is not “corrupt”. It is a test of how many votes you can get when your opponent is using every possible legal mechanism to obtain an “unfair” advantage.
And that’s exactly the same thing that will happen in the general. So if a candidate doesn’t know how to win an “unfair” primary then they are destined to lose in the general. They are not a good candidate, and they should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Centrists need to get more votes than their opponent. Just like everyone else.
If a candidate can’t do that, they are not a good candidate. Their excuses are irrelevant.
You’re deliberately ignoring that the party does not run fair primaries, if it runs them at all. Repeat your talking point some more.
Politics isn’t fair.

Enjoy your smoke filled room then.
The good news is that laws have changed. Candidates today can win primaries simply by getting the most votes, without need of smoke filled rooms.
The bad news is that leftists are still incapable of winning primaries.
