Who said it was fair? But you've got to use every tool at your disposal. Don't make it easy for them.
Centrists argue that we should ignore progressives and point to primary losses as a reason.
Primaries centrists run dishonestly for their own benefit.
So what are you proposing?
Not expecting progressives to regard dishonest primaries as fair, and not using the results of those primaries to inform criteria for what constitutes an "electable" candidate.
