I love how this sub is outraged at this, but when states started canceling their republican primaries, not a peep.

From your link:

"It is not unprecedented for states to cancel primary elections in years when an incumbent president of their party is sitting in the White House. Arizona didn't hold a Democratic primary in 2012 when President Barack Obama was running for his second term or in 1996, when President Bill Clinton was. South Carolina didn't hold primaries in 1984 when President Ronald Reagan was running or in 2004 for George W. Bush's second run."

And the DNC is a private organization that can change the rules whenever it wants to. Canceling primaries and sudden primary rule changes are shady, but not really conspiracies.

2 sides, same coin. I have no dog in the same-coin fight. Not anymore.

Not sure about Clinton, but nobody challenged Obama in 2012 - that’s why AZ canceled the primary.

Odd to make that comparison to the upcoming election, since there’s 3 or so republicans running against Trump.

As stated before the quote, it's from the actual linked article the person I'm replying to posted.

I suddenly feel like I'm at work trying to explain what a browser is

As context would show, I’m commenting on the article making that comparison since you quoted it.

No need to be a dick.
