    His presidential campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, did an interview on The Lever where he talked about how the DNC controls the primaries to protect the incumbent President, and he goes into more detail on the rat-fucking they gave Phillips. It aired on July 1st, and it should be available on whatever your preferred podcast platform is. This is twice now that you’ve made me answer things you could have learned on your own, so I’m gonna ask you to be responsible for your own ignorance going forward.

      I asked for a source to a claim YOU made. It’s not my job to make your arguments for you. Maybe be prepared to back up your claims and not be an asshole about it? I’m going to watch the interview, and if there’s a case to be made I’m more than happy to reevaluate what I’ve said.

        You also demanded to know which candidates were forced out, left a snitty reply when you didn’t get an answer, then gave combative answers to the only two people who did bother to answer you. The retaliatory nature of the DNC isn’t exactly a secret, nor is the control they try to exert over the primary process, so you could find information on this yourself. I have to assume you either haven’t done any research or just don’t want to know.

          You know what, that’s fair. I was being a bit of an asshole and I apologize. I’m listening to that Sirota/Weaver interview now, thanks for the recommendation.

          We still disagree but I don’t think we’re enemies so there’s no point in attacking each other. I’ll let you know my thoughts when I finish the podcast.

          I honestly looked for statements from Phillips and Williamson prior to you linking that interview. I did not think to look for his campaign manager, Phillips has been relatively quiet.
