    DNC normally "3rd parties don’t function in our two party system, there’s no point in voting for them

    That part is just reality.

      That’s why they sued to keep De La Cruz off the ballot in swing states.

        It’s almost like mayoral politics in one of the most populous cities on the planet is somewhat different than state and federal level politics.

        Who knew

            No, we are talking about both. Go re-read the thread for context.

            The original comment was comparing the DNC’s behavior at the national level, with a mayoral primary with ranked choice voting in one of the bluest cities in the US.

            I’m saying it’s not even close to a 1:1 comparison
