Laws need to be changed to make primaries real elections that have to follow democratic norms and that candidates who skip a debate has their name removed from the ballot.

I like your idea.

Spain could be about to be governed by a coalition that includes a far-right party for the first time since the Francisco Franco dictatorship ended in 1975, propelled in part by frustration surrounding a drought and the environmental measures that are in place to ameliorate it.



Opinion polls indicate that the conservative Popular Party, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has enough support to unseat socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, but will fall short of an outright majority. That leaves Vox — an ultranationalist, anti-immigration and anti-feminist group — the likely kingmaker.



Part of the reason Vox has become Spain's third-biggest party is it has followed another key trend in modern far-right politics: fears that green measures in Spain, which faces chronic droughts, will destroy the agricultural industry. Vox and the Popular Party, which already jointly govern the southwestern Extremadura region, back a controversial plan to legalize and expand water drilling in one of Europe's most important wetlands, much of which is already arid and lifeless, to fuel the lucrative fruit industry.

BTW,  on the change the laws so that primaries have to actually be run following democratic norms front, I remind people that in 2016 Bernie Sanders sued the DNC for giving Hillary the debate questions ahead of time (but not to Bernie) as well as rigging Caucus states by barring Bernie supporters from entering caucuses (only Hillary supporters allowed in), and by allowing super delegates who had more votes in who became the nominee than voters could award to candidates via elections.  The DNC openly argued in the Supreme Court that political parties are just "private clubs" which did not legally have to be democratic and that they could rig primaries any way they pleased.  The Democratic majority of partisan hacks on the court at the time agreed that no democracy was actually needed or required.



Remember that next time some idiot Democrap partisan starts lying about "threats to democracy".

Hillary Clinton claims it is hot outside during summer because of "MAGA Republicans".  The dumb bitch doesn't even seem to know Communist China pollutes more than all the 1st world combined.

Dang, the democRATs are corrupt.

<t>Some of the Republicans are just as trigger happy as the democRATs.  Mike Pence suggested American troops could be utilized if military aid fails.</t>

It's official, the House will conduct an impeachment inquiry into the Biden family's bribery.

The DOJ's bullshit persecution of Trump is exactly what the democRATs want. The indictments play to his base making him the Republican nominee. The trials after will pander to the general electorate before next year's election ensuring Jim Crow Joe is reelected.

In a nuthshell, the democRATs want Trump the nominee, because he is the only candidate Jim Crow Joe can beat. It is a democRAT scam like making Hillary the nominee in 2016.

I do not trust thos at all.  We have a well known RINO siding with an outspoken hater of free speech who hates the constitution.
