      I agree with you, but as devil’s advocate, why would a political party vie against itself for a seat it already holds. At best, it would only slightly sully the incumbent’s name. Take Biden for example: either he’s doing a good job, or he needs to be replaced because he’s not doing a good enough job.

        So primaries are only so politicians can choose their voters, and not the other way around? I was told only MAGAts are the cultist?

        why? because its supposed to represent the current situation and overton window not be a reminder the parties are “clubs” that set their own rules.
