I know-that’s what I said. When you said you wanted partisan RCV primaries and then said it’s fun to think about DFLers complaining about the DSA I thought that implied a primary between the DFL and DSA. My error!

But wouldn’t the DSA need to be a party of its own rather than just the group within the DFL?

As someone who attends the church of the pastor in question I can offer a different perspective. Our church for decades has said we bring people together around what unifies us and that’s the Gospel. This has been a long time value. We have never gone toward political opinions.

And I think we’re arguing different things. You’re saying it likely wouldn’t have impacted the eventual outcome. Perhaps true. I’m saying fruits of a forbidden tree, like a search warrant. If the initiating is flawed what comes from it is flawed by definition.

And yet if the initial count was accurate, votes were counted, alternates upgraded, no one would be talking spin. That, in my mind, is where the fatal flaw is.
