This is an absurd comment made in bad faith IMO. And it intentionally ignores the reality of the situation where she was selected as the candidate.
It's also the exception. And this is all excuses to not do the real work of democracy and instead live in some purist revolutionary fantasy.
Yes the system is rigged, yes the wealthy are putting their thumb on the scale, THAT is why we fight harder and not an excuse to not fight. Which let's be honest the vast majority of you armchair pretend revolutionaries do... While the real grassroots leftists and anarchists are out doing the work of fighting for a more egalitarian society.
I really want to know where BlueMAGA shitlibs got the idea that any argument against them is inherently "bad faith", because you all seem obsessed with the idea.
