...by eliminating democracy.

"Florida appears poised to hold no presidential primary election for Democrats this cycle after the state party submitted only President Joe Biden’s name as a candidate up for the nomination.

The move to leave Rep. Dean Phillips off the primary ballot left the Minnesota Democrat enraged on Thursday. In a statement first provided to POLITICO, Phillips, who has launched a longshot primary bid against Biden, accused Florida Democratic Party officials of rigging the primary. He threatened a lawsuit and a convention fight if he didn’t win ballot access in the state.

“Americans would expect the absence of democracy in Tehran, not Tallahassee,” said Phillips. “The intentional disenfranchisement of voters runs counter to everything for which our Democratic Party and country stand. Our mission as Democrats is to defeat authoritarians, not become them.”

In his statement, Phillips called the handling of the process by the Florida Democrats a “blatant act of electoral corruption” and demanded Biden “condemn and immediately address” it."

But hey, this is just how the Democrats operate: political opponents should be disqualified from running for election.

Look at their attempts to prevent Trump and other Republicans from being allowed to run in 2024. Look at how in every election they sue to disqualify Green and Libertarian candidates from appearing on the ballot. Look at how they have made the very act of supporting Trump a potential crime.

Democrats want "OUR DEMOCRACY" to be one where you can vote for anyone you want...as long as it's a Democrat :o

You absolute hysterical drama queen.

What are you bitching about? He can gather enough signatures to put himself on the general election ballot ... which is an actual election.
