Jerry Falwell and his Moral Majority.

What does Republican primaries almost 50 years ago for county seats have to do with the 2024 Dem presidential primary?

Do you honestly think those are the same?

There's a whole lot to unpack here, so I want to see where we're starting from.

  1. Are you aware parties aren't bound by primaries and can legally run anyone they want in a general?

  2. Are you aware a county clerk seat is different than US president?

  3. Are you aware that things have changed since 1979?

So what, in detail, is your plan for the 2026 elections?

Luckily I have a lot of faith in Ken Martin and am optimistic he'll allow for fair primaries and the DNC will keep it's finger off the scale.

I think Republicans will lose the slim House majority, maybe even the Senate.

But your question was vague, so I had to assume what exactly you meant.

Anyways that was completely unrelated to the comment you replied to...

I'm trying to help you understand an important topic and path to beating fascism, but if you're just gonna try vauge gotcha questions and want a slap fight...

My time is likely better spent elsewhere I'm afraid.
