They nominees are the ones who win the primaries, regardless of who the DNC wants the nominees to be. Progressive candidates need to run and progressive voters need to show up.
Still easier to do that in the primaries, hell in theory you could do it in some states while telling the DNC to go fuck themselves. California has jungle primaries meaning it’s easier to pick the parties out of nomination control and Alaska has RCV meaning in theory the same can be accomplished in the general. Anyone know any other states where the same can be achieved? Cause I feel like this type of action is our best best.

Which Democratic Socialist candidate won the plurality of pledged delegates from the popular vote in the primaries and was then not nominated?
