Party leaders shouldn't be using words like "Shut down this primary"

30. I think that sort of messaging

is really going to harm us in the general by alienating voters who are not Biden supporters. Look, I know everyone wants to pressure people to "vote blue no matter who" but the reality is there are voters out there who are frustrated that the issues they care about are being addressed by certain candidates and not by others. The last thing we need is to have the primaries shut down before half the country even gets a chance to cast their vote (silencing their voices--you think that will increase the chances they will fall in line and turn out in November--dream on), and especially after Bernie's chances were soaring and Buttigieg, Klobuchar, and the other endorsements almost overnight seemed like everyone in the establishment teaming up together to work against Bernie. I get that you win some you lose some. I get why they made the choices they did, but all I'm saying is, if you are that Bernie supporter... I can see where you might be feeling like the last few weeks were really rigged against him. And I don't think more calls from the establishment to shut down the primaries are going to help.
